Description

A used 2024 model nylon guitar from Martin, a leading acoustic guitar manufacturer, has arrived!

Regarding the condition of this instrument, there are some minor signs of use, such as very slight scratches on the top surface that are not visible in the photos, very slight paint peeling on the inside of the tuning peg posts (see images), and a very slight sheen on the back of the neck. Otherwise, there are no major scratches or dents throughout the instrument.

In terms of playability, the condition of the frets and top plate is equivalent to that of a new instrument.
The nut grooves for strings 4-6 are set slightly lower, but because it's a nylon string model, the string height is set high, so there is no buzzing, and in fact, it gives the impression of excellent playability near the lower frets.

While new instruments of the same model number tend to have a slightly stiff tone, this particular instrument has a nicely mellow sound, offering a rich volume, responsiveness, and a unique character that you can truly appreciate.

This guitar, which once enjoyed a cult following as Martin's only nylon-string model, is unfortunately now discontinued.
It's likely that fewer of these will be available as used items in the future.
Please consider purchasing it now, as it's available at a great price!

This all-solid wood Martin electro-acoustic guitar features upgraded body and fingerboard materials!
