1993 Martin 000-16 Flattop Acoustic Guitar
Overview: These 000-16 models were very popular when they came out and continue to be so. The bracing pattern and overall design lends itself to a warm, full sound that's easy to get along-with if you're a flatpicker or brighter-sounding fingerpicker. The look is classic, too, with that typical 000-18 presence but simpler, satin finish and trim. These guitars are more like an OM in handling, though -- with a longer scale length compared to a normal 000-size Martin.
Repairs included: Jose gave it a level/dress of the frets, cleaning, K&K pickup install (to replace a finicky undersaddle element), and setup. It's playing spot-on and ready to serve.

Condition notes: There are scratches and nicks/dings on the top and some other light scuffs/scratches here and there on the body and neck, but overall it looks nice. The top finish has aged-in to a nice, buttery color. The binding has shrunk a little here and there (leaving tiny gaps between the binding and the body side at the waist) and the saddle is on the low side, but there are string ramps added to keep back-angle on the saddle good. I can cut/reglue/touch-up the binding if desired or leave it as-is. I didn't even notice it until it got pointed-out to me by Ancel as it's only a tiny bit of separation.
It comes with: It has a hard case.
