Default Martin Custom Shop 000-28 Adirondack Top / GE Bracing

I'm going to stick my toe in the water again with this one. I've loved it, and I think it is a great guitar, but I think I'm just turning out to be more of a dread guy than I thought. Specs below, and there are a few scratches here and there, but nothing through the finish. Hairline/swirling type of stuff. Purchased new from Sweetwater last year.

EDIT: I want to add that due to the thin finish, the binding where it meets the sides can be felt. There is no separation, just texture. Just wanted to mention this as I didn't want it to be an area of concern for whoever gets this wonderful guitar.

Asking $2500 + shipping.

One of the reasons I've held onto this guitar is the incredible glossy sheen on the ebony fretboard. It is just glorious.
