Default Martin M-38 Custom Flamed Koa *Sold*

The M size was new to me when I first came across this. I've tried many times to play a dread since the sound is so great, but I could never get comfortable with one. I always felt like I was hugging a fridge. This M (or 0000) size has a near-Dreadnought sound. The pinched waist thinner body gives this model a lot more of an immediate response (or attack) when using fingerstyle as compared to a traditional dread. The body depth for this custom is similar to an 000/OM, which for me makes this way more comfortable to play.

Pretty clean, very little play wear. A few light surface scratches on the side where it lies on the lap. Can only truly catch it in the light hence the odd place pic to highlight it. Otherwise no impressions, indents, cracks etc. Always stored in case, in humidified, smoke-free, pet-free environment.

Plays incredibly well, fast neck, deep rich tone

Sold to your door CONUS
