Default NGD-Martin 000-15S

Received this beauty today by little brown truck

Have always regretted passing on a 000-15SM locally some years ago and am so happy to have found this online.

Original owner buffed out the finish and the seller upgraded nut/saddle to bone and upgraded the tuners to Golden Aged.

The guitar is incredibly light and the mahogany has such a rich, deep color.

The tone is beautiful - I have difficulty describing it.

Played a few John Prine songs to welcome her home.

I’m a happy guy.

The earlier ones like this are the best ones, in my opinion. Congrats to you.
