Martin MC-DSM

Up for sale this superlative guitar designed by C F Martin’s District Sales Managers, - in flamed Hawaiian Koa wood and solid Italian Alpine spruce top, in a Geib #570 hard shell case.
It was one of the most expensive Limited Edition models in 2009 Martin Guitars catalog: the list price $7,999 even higher than of the venerable MC12-41 Richie Sambora model. There\'s a reason these instruments are highly sought-after guitars: they were top notch with respect to desigh, quality and craftsmanship.

This is the lightest guitar I\'ve ever played: it weighs only about 4" pounds or 1,8 kg with the strings. The sweet smell of fine exotic woods coming out right after you open the case is just unforgetable.
This guitar charms every person who has the honor of playing it. It rings and sings and sustains in ways other guitars can only dream of.

It is ornated in the classic way, and timeless tastefulness is evident in every pore of its being. It has, for example, a single ring of herringbone around its soundhole; the Sitka spruce ¼” (high-definition) bracing is standard X-scalloped and forward shifted. The back is purfled in ebony with black-white Boltaron trim, the end piece in solid black ebony, the body in black-white Boltaron. The neck is “selected hardwood” and carved low profile, the bone nut is 1 ¾” wide; the headstock is solid, square tapered with square corners and capped with polished black ebony that bears the C F Martin script logo in select abalone. The scale is long, the fingerboard measures 2 ¼” at the 12th and the bridge string spacing is the same.

All surfaces (except fretboard and bridge) are polished and glossy including the back of the neck. Fingerboard markers are William Foden Special style; tuners are actual Waverly brand with oval buttons; and the bridge is “straightline” with a drop-in saddle (drop in any time). It comes standard with no pickguard; the saddle is 16” radius, compensated and made of bone. Bridge and end pins are solid ebony with abalone pearl dots and it is housed in a beautiful Geib 570 five-ply case with a plush interior. Only 100 are being made, and this one is #26. It is an instrument to be treasured and pleasured.

This fantastic guitar was acquired by me as a collector\'s piece, it\'s been played just occasionaly and never left my home. I\'ve always kept it in a hardshell case in a controlled humidified Environment.
The guitar is in great clean condition and has very light traces of use, excepting a few small dents on the top below the bridge (one is deeper), that could be visible just under the certain angle of view and don\'t affect the sound and playability of the guitar in any way. I\'ve tried to show that on pictures to the best of my abilities.
The action and playability of the guitar are perfect with no dead spots or any imperfections.

The guitar retains it\'s original factory\'s glossy finish never being re-polished. You can see every grain of the wood, that allows the guitar to breath and sing like a bird. The flame koa wood looks incredible, changing it\'s appearance under the different angles. The Alpine Spruce grains are straight and wide, close to the Adirondack spruce by structure.

I\'m starting the sale with the $0.99 price, so the guitar will go to the higher lucky buyer. I don\'t accept returns due to the nature of this product, the sale is FINAL.
