She just celebrated her 12th birthday, and has been very well cared for! I just picked this up from the original owner, in a trade deal. He is a collector, and has many guitars. This one has been played, but only sparingly, and in a smoke-free atmosphere. The guitar is in excellent condition, with no dings to speak of. There are merely a few very very tiny, light pin-head sized surface impressions on the top... and a few tiny light marks ont he back of the neck (between the 9th & 12th position) possibly from a capo. These flaws are VERY minor, and do not affect the sound or playability of this guitar in the least. This one is a winner, and a real keeper! The neck is straight with no cracks or repairs... The frets are excellent with plenty of life ahead of them... And the sound is amazing!! Also included is the original Martin hard shell case (shown in the pictures) and it even includes some case candy as shown in the last picture! Whoever wins this sweet guitar is going to be STOKED!!

LET"S GO!!!
