2018 Martin 0-28VS 12-Fret Guitar
This guitar is squeaky-clean, a certified beaut (gape that rosewood, folks), and feels luxurious in that way a nicer-grade Martin will present itself. It's like when you slide into the seat of a real car and get wrapped in that authoritative grip.
As you'd expect for a 12-fret 0-size, it suits fingerpicking beautifully but will definitely handle flatpicked backing and lead work. I think of these having a nice "chunk" to their sound as flatpickers -- punchy and a little on the dark side because of the rosewood and the "optimized bridge placement"(read as: increased bass response despite a smaller body) of a 12-fretter.
Other extras include spiffy fretboard inlay, herringbone trim, pyramid bridge, through-cut saddle (but not glued-in, thankfully), and a bit of nice "bearclaw" figure to the spruce.
Repairs included: a quick setup.

Condition notes: it's essentially "mint-new" and my usual caveat would be that there may be some very light playwear that I'm just not seeing -- minor finish "swirl" from use or whatnot, but I'm not seeing it. It looks like a guitar that came off the racks from some shop and got a few hours' worth of play.
It comes with: its original hard case in great shape.
