If you're looking for a guitar with a big sound, this one certainly delivers! Featuring an Alpine Spruce top and Indian Rosewood back and sides, this M style guitar is a real powerhouse. It has an impressive dynamic range with the midrange and treble response enhanced greatly by the extra large soundhole. This guitar oozes tone. It sounds great strummed, flat-picked and fingerpicked. This guitar was originally strung with Martin MSP4100 guitar strings, but we restrung it with MSP4200's. I like it best with these strings because I can really control how much bass I get out of it. Sound aside, this guitar also has stunning, unique to the M body size inlays. You really need to check this one out!
