Up for a BUY IT NOW or best offer (I am really not sure of the true value, so all reasonable offers considered) is a probably a once in a lifetime chance to get a wonderful and impossible to find 2001 Tim Teel custom vintage D-28 style with some 45 appointments acoustic guitar. As anyone looking at this knows, master luthier Tim Teel has been with Martin since 1998 and is now head director of Martin's research and design department. This guitar is exquisite in design, execution, tone and playability. Basically built like a herringbone D-28, but with a torch headstock inlay and snowflake inlays on the wings of the ebony bridge base in the style of a 45. The vintage, but with a bit of a modern flare shaped neck is a soft rounded V and feels wonderful in you hand. The guitar excels at flat picking, and is also a wonderful fingerpicker. The tone is extremely balanced and complex, with all of the volume you would expect from a top of the line dreadnought. The butterbean openback Waverly tuners are a joy to tune the guitar up with.  The condition of the guitar is excellent +++ to very near mint, with some extremely light pick marks on the tortoise guard, a couple os tiny pin head sized indents in a few spots, and 2 areas where the lacquer finish has some whitish spots, one on the butt of the body, south of the end pin, and the other the size of a fingernail on the base side waist (see pics). They may be able to be polished out as it looks to be on the surface of the lacquer, but I decided to leave it be. None of these extremely minor "flaws" takes away anything from this guitar at all in my opinion, it is just a spectacular instrument.The neck is laser straight with zero fret or fingerboard wear to the spit diamond inlaid ebony fingerboard, and it does have an adjustable truss rod. The saddle is gull height and the action is low and buzz free. There have never been any cracks, damage or repairs done to this guitar. I would think that you can not even get a guitar built by Tim anymore unless probably paying over 8K or more for it directly thru Martin and requesting him as the builder due to what I would think would be a conflict of interest!!!   It comes with the original receipt written and signed from Tim and its original high end near mint original Martin hardshell case. Please look at all the pics and ask any questions you may have. If you need to see more pics, let me know of what. Shipping will always be combined when possible!
