Default Martin Custom Shop 000-18, Sinker Mahogany, 2 1/4" bridge, Mod V Neck *SOLD*

This is a late 2017 000-18 from the Martin Custom Shop. Unique features include beautiful Sinker Mahogany back and sides, 1 3/4" nut, 2 1/4" bridge spacing, cut through saddle, very comfortable and full genuine mahogany modified V neck. It's in near mint condition, save for a very small (~1cm) and hard to see shallow dent near the end pin. No fret wear that I can appreciate. One of the more powerful 000's I've had the pleasure of playing. Wonderful detail when fingerpicked. And it will only get better as the top continue to open up. Comes with Martin Geib style case with cabernet lining + swag. Feel free to ask any questions. No trades, please. Full Specs below after the pics Asking $2550 ***SOLD*** paypal-shipped to lower 48 (fully insured via FedEx), obo. Please note that similar models go for about 3800+ new. Thanks for looking!

Having a sinker 0000, I can attest that these guitars sound great!

And I am normally an avowed rosewood fan.
