A customized 'M' Model with an Engelmann Spruce top and East Indian Rosewood back and sides.

Condition Used, Good. At some point in its life, this instrument sustained a headstock break. This is pictured in the listing (see: picture of back of headstock, around the Volute area). This break was mended and repaired by our luthier, and its stability has been verified.

This customized 'M' Model is an ideal fingerstyle instrument for the discerning player. With a Venetian cutaway and Laskin-style arm bevel, the ergonomic design allows the player effortless access to the higher register while reducing right hand and arm fatigue in exquisite style. The tone is rich and warm; notes bloom powerfully and sustain with excellent separation and clarity.

SP Luthier Notes: A crack was present on the neck around the volute of the guitar. As such our luthier stabilized, filled, and refinished the affected area. The truss rod and bridge were fully adjusted. All of the frets were polished, recrowned and leveled. No further work was required.

The best way to describe my "M" model is to say that it is the same shape as my 0M but enlarged to a full 16" width giving it an expanded bass response. Like the Mini Jumbo and Concert Standard, this model offers another choice in a full sized guitar suitable for fingerstyle playing or full strumming. I'm also offering the "M" as an alternate Baritone choice for those players who find the 17" Jumbo body a bit too large.
