Description: 2018 Martin 'Special D' Ovangkol acoustic/electric guitar. Made in Nazareth, PAExcellent, near-mint condition. there are no scratches, dents or gouges; zero sighns of play wear. Aside from some very slight buckle-rash on the tail end of the back, it looks fresh off the showroom. The Fishman Matrix VT Enhanced Electronics work fine, with an easily accessible external battery compartment/cable jack hole.I believe this was an exclusive line made for Guitar Center, which as since been discontinued. You can still see the details and specs on their site, but I've pasted the info in this ad below the description as well,I took this on trade for another guitar, and have done the following work:Loose back braces re-glued with Titebond original. Setup; Clean/polish frets, restrung with Martin Phosphor Bronze light strings (12-54); adjusted neck relief to .006" and the action to 6/64" bass E and 5/64" treble e with the guitar tuned to standard pitch. There is room at the saddle for further lowering in future. She has nice crisp voice; deep bass, a good midrange and clear trebles. Ovagkol's tone has been described as a mix between Mahogany and rosewood, although I feel this one has a darker done more on the rosewood side. I have her set up for my style of playing; finger style and light to medium picking/strumming. She responds well to both. A note on 'action and playability': every guitar's action (the string height at the 12th fret), relief (the amount of forward curve of the fretboard), and playability (the ease with which notes and chords are fretted) will be different depending on the guitar's setup. What is ideal for one person might not suit another, and any adjustment is understood to be the responsibility of the owner. The measurements and description I have provided are accurate and setup references are to my tastes, and may not be yours.I have repaired and sold many guitars, and pride myself on my thorough description and customer service. The guitar will be packed securely, and shipped with insurance in a sturdy guitar shipping carton. I am pricing this as what I believe to be fair, based on comparable sales. NOTE: I will ship for free with full asking price. Otherwise, a flat shipping fee of $65 will be applied. eBay doesn't have an option for that, so I am not listing this as a free shipping listing, but if you buy for full price, do not pay immediately; I will send an invoice with the shipping removed. Shipping fee is applicable to the CONUS; Alaska, Hawaii, and international shipping is available, but will be at an additional cost to be invoiced to the buyer following the sale.Please view all pics and ask any and all questions before buying/making an offer. I have described the condition accurately and completely; while I am certain you will be satisfied, this is an as-is sale with no returns unless I have mis-represented something.FeaturesAging tonerAntique white bindingFishman Matrix VT Enhanced electronicsOvangkol bodySpecsBodyBody type: DreadnoughtCutaway: NoTop wood: Sitka spruceBack and sides: OvangkolBracing pattern: Forward shifted 5/16" scalloped XBody finish: GlossOrientation: Right handedNeckNeck shape: Performing Artist with High Performance taperNut width: 1.75" (44.45 mm)Fingerboard: FSC Certified RichliteNeck wood: Solid mahoganyScale length: 25.4"Number of frets: 20Neck finish: SatinElectronicsPickup/preamp: YesBrand: FishmanConfiguration: Soundhole mounted preampPreamp EQ: 2-bandFeedback filter: NoTuner: NoOtherHeadstock overlay: GrenadilloTuning machines: Chrome enclosed gearBridge: FSC Certified RichliteSaddle and nut: White Tusq/bone nutNumber of strings: 6Special features:Case: Premium gig bagAccessories: NoneCountry of origin: United States
