2020s Martin Ed Sheeran LX1E Signature Guitar

Overview: This particular Sheeran model has become somewhat of a collector's guitar. There's not much different from a normal Martin LX1 baby/travel guitar save that it has turquoise accents and division-sign embellishments all over.

The body is composite/HPL with a faux-wood skin and the board and bridge are Richlite or similar. The saddle, pins, and nut are synthetic. The neck is super-multi-ply (Stratabond) maple. The top is solid spruce.

It has a warmer, sweeter sound than a lot of "baby" guitars and this one was enjoyed by its first owner a bunch considering the pickwear to the top near the soundhole!

Repairs included: It got a bunch of cleaning and then good setup work done by both Jacobi and Jose. It's playing spot-on and ready to go.

Condition notes: There's a lot of pickwear to the treble side of the soundhole. The top's finish has been dulled-down a bit from cleaning (it had some markered drawings on it here and there) but it still has the normal, satin look to it.

These guitars have a design flaw in the neckblock area because they only use one, high-mounted bolt (reached internally) which keeps the neck attached to the body when they really need to have a second one fit below that main bolt to keep the neck stable 100% of the time. I have left this "as-made" on this particular guitar and the action/feel/etc. is just fine and that bolt has been tightened. If you're planning to play this all over the place and use it as a travel instrument where it will get bounced-around, however, I definitely suggest letting me fit a second bolt below the original one (hidden on the inside). That will snug-up the neck a lot better and keep it from needing adjustment in that regard in the future. I do this as a matter of course on every (other) "Mini Martin" that comes through.

It comes with: It has a gigbag.
