This example is refreshingly crack-free — no top cracks, no repairs to top, back, sides, or neck. Action runs 3\/32\" on both the first and sixth strings at the 12th fret, which is on the lower side of standard and plays fast without buzzing. Overall condition is excellent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chunky C \/ modified soft V neck profile and 1-11\/16\" nut width offer perfect playability. The neck has been reset.  A new nut and saddle was added when the guitar was refretted.  Someone did a nice job, making this guitar a great player with the usual and expensive work now completed ahead of your purchase of the guitar.  Grover enclosed tuners and a black tortoise-style pickguard round out the spec sheet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinish is original and in very good condition with beautiful lacquer checking, honest wear, and standard dings throughout — The guitar has been played but was well cared for. Frets are in very good condition with no repairs. Fretboard and neck are both in excellent shape. The original Martin Blue molded case is included; it is in good condition with one issue — the door on the inside compartment is broken. No documentation or accessories are included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"product-spec-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eColor: natural\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFinish Original?: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFinish Condition: good, some beautiful checking.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eWeight: 4lbs 8.5oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eOverall length: 40-1\/2\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNut Width: 1-11\/16\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eString Spacing At Bridge: 2.095\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eScale Length: 25.4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eAction 1st String At 12th Fret: 3\/32\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eAction 6th String At 12th Fret: 3\/32\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNeck Material: mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eInlay: Mother of Pearl Dot\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Profile: Chunky C \/ Modified Soft V shape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNeck Thickness At 1st Fret: .852\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNeck Thickness At 10th Fret: 1.042\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNeck Condition: excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNeck Repairs: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eTuner Brand And Model: Grover enclosed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eTuners Original?: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eChanges To Headstock For Tuners?: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eTruss Rod Cover: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNut Original: Replaced\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNut Material: bone\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFretboard Material: rosewood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFretboard Condition: excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFretboard Radius: 16\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFretboard Repairs: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFret Condition: Refretted, very good\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFret Repairs: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFret Count: 20\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eBody length: 20\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eLower bout: 15-3\/4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eWaist: 10-3\/4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eUpper bout: 11-5\/8\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eBody depth\/thickness: 4-3\/4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eTop Material: sitka spruce\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eTop Condition: very good, beautiful checking.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eTop Cracks: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eTop Repairs: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eTop Binding: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eTop Binding Condition: excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eBack \u0026amp;
