Limited edition LE-HMS Dreadnought from the 2015 special run commemorating the British Royal Navy battleship that is the namesake for Martin’s iconic model. This 12-fret guitar has several compelling features that set it apart from standard Martin offerings (aside from the unique top graphic) including a VTS Sitka spruce top, advanced scalloped X-bracing, a modified V neck profile, and an ebony pyramid bridge. An immensely powerful guitar with a muscular punchy low end, sweet trebles, wide dynamic range, and precise intonation up the board. Setup to play comfortably with action measuring 7/64″ and 5/64″ from the 12th fret to the bottom of the low and high strings, respectively, with .006″ relief in the neck and healthy saddle exposure. Cosmetic condition is excellent+ with minimal wear in the finish and the faintest hint of wear in the first 5 frets beneath the plain strings only.
