It has an Ebony fretboard, thanks!

I have had no issues with it. I don't keep it in a case but I have an evaporative style room humidifier and try to keep the humidity between 45% and 60%. I really only flat pick on it, thanks!

@@TheFatCottonwood I got mine a few days ago and am pretty happy with it. It's got that solid wood tone but I do think I will follow your lead and give it a bone saddle and perhaps tusq pins.

Perhaps not, this is what this one sounds like anyhow. I enjoy it, can't say I wouldn't enjoy a top end 000 better.

Thanks! I will check out the kb bridge as well. True, as an after thought I do wish I had left the sides on the neck to make it hangable.

@@TheFatCottonwood the kd bridge may be better for you because your seated position your leg touches the tuners of this guyker

@@womplestilskin That might have to be the next project.

You are welcome! I tried to be objective about it. Not for everyone but it is my favorite neck shape.

Thank you!

Thanks!

Thanks, I am super happy with mine! It really is a sound machine.

I believe so, Guitar Center and Musicians Friend. It is just sounding better with time!

@@TheFatCottonwood yeah man! It sounding better and better!

Thanks!

Thank you and thanks for the guitar mojo, your channel is full of it (mojo I mean) 😂.

Thank you!

Thanks!

I wish someone did as well, but this is what you get, lol. It might be because it is a one off Martin built for Musicians Friend to sell, so the shops on RUclips that do a lot of demos don't have it. It would be nice if people did more reviews on it, because it was a shot in the dark when I bought this one.

@@TheFatCottonwood actually it was a produced in axsmaller quanty for UK market in mind and its excellent guitar for price

I believe I would not turn that down either. Martins are awesome, beat up or shiny. Beat up even better, old guitars have stories to tell.

Thanks!

Thanks!

That was the saddle, not the bridge. I misspoke on that. Actually, I am impressed with the quality of it, I do see your point of having a factory in Mexico as hurting their brand but they do have to compete with 8.83 billion dollar companies like Nippon Gakki Co. Ltd, aka Yamaha which is flooding the market with guitars from $4000 dollar FG9s to great sounding $300.00 FG830s. I appreciate the fact that Martin has a factory in Mexico if that allowed me to purchase one of their guitars at a price I could afford other than a Yamaha that would have been the only thing in my price range. My first guitar was a $212.00 ($979.00 in today's dollars) all-laminate Yamaha in 1979. My folks couldn't afford a Martin then, but I am happy to own one now that was made in Mexico. In the early 80s, my brother and I took a trip in an old Scout 2 down to Bahia Kino which is just up the Gulf of California from where these are made. Tecate and boiled Prawns on the beach, great memories.

I repair and setup acoustic guitars. Solid wood Mexico made martins are better than most any other guitar in the same price range and sound just as good as the ones made in Nazareth. I own and play both both. Nuff said.

Thank you, I appreciate it! Never too late, guitars are a blast!

Thank you!

Thanks!
