martin j40m acoustic guitar $2300 + shipping

This rare and beautiful instrument is in good, played, condition. The sound is amazing; fully balanced mids and highs and nice full bass. This instrument was used professionally, gently, and comes with a hard-shell case. You can hear this guitar on the live Uncle Bonsai release "Myn Ynd Wymyn." SPECIFICATIONS: The Martin J-40M is a dreadnaught guitar with a solid spruce top, rosewood back and sides, mahogany neck, 14/20 fret bound ebony fingerboard with abalone hexagon inlay, ebony bridge with white abalone dot pins, rosewood peghead veneer, and gold tuners. In addition, this guitar has been fitted with a custom-made bone nut and saddle.

It has a Martin Thinline bridge pickup and a small internal microphone. These are wired to a stereo jack so that one can be used for a tuner and one for amplification. (Anyone who's heard Uncle Bonsai, Electric Bonsai Band, or Mel Cooleys in concert knows how good this microphone sounds.)

(A little side history: this guitar was chosen out over 40 different guitars. I auditioned each guitar and picked this one with Christine Lavin and David Van Ronk as my listening audience...we ALL picked this one!)
