Player Reviews:
"This is one of the finest sounding Martin Dreads I've played regardless of year. It is simply astonishing. The lows rumble and the highs sing. From lead to chords it just shines. I love the shaded top and combined with the 42 Style trim it's hard to beat for beauty. This is special." - Paul Heumiller
"One of the nicest dreadnoughts I've played. I love the sunburst and the black pearl tuning buttons. This is a real find." - Al Petteway
