It has the rich, deep tone you would expect from this model. It is so clean you'll swear it's brand new. I have a coupla nice D-18s that get all my free guitar-pickin' time or I'd keep this one too. I will miss this one, but someone will give it a good home and the attention it deserves. There's not a scratch on this anywhere---no dings, no repairs, no issues. The neck is straight and true, and the action is medium/low---very comfortable. There are no buzzes or fret problems whatsoever. No wear on the frets, they are like new---and there is plenty of saddle. (See photo) The bridge pin holes have been professionally slotted to use solid pins. I will also include a new set of solid (non-slotted) snakewood bridge pins from Stewart-MacDonald. The specs for this model are shown below in a photo. Original TKL Geib case included. The 0000 (M) size guitar has the same shape as a Martin jumbo but with OM/000 depth. It's an incredibly versatile guitar that works equally well for fingerpickin', strumming, and flatpicking. $2250---A new one sells for $2750. An extra set of D'Addario EJ16 strings will be included, and they sound great on this guitar. I'm a non-smoker and the guitar still smells like new. I know how to pack a guitar right for safe travel. 48 states only. No trades please. I'm also 'Rockradstone' on eBay and other guitar forums.

But Rick, where's the obligatory tortoishell pic? "Develop your talent, man, and leave the world something. Records are really gifts from people.

My brother-in-law had one of these. No wait, it was that first Gruhn Anniversary model, the 000 that he had. Kinda reminds me of a 1980 M-38 I owned once, except that it was really nothing like this one. I think I'd like this guitar better if it was Rosewood even though I'm a dyed-in-the-wool Hog fan. BTW, are you sure that's an Adirondack top? Sure looks like Sitka to me. Then again, it might be Lutz.
