| Geez, Trader Jim had so much success here, I'm going to try selling the exact same guitar. Just cheaper!
Up for sale is my 2009 Martin 00-18VS Custom from Jon at My Favorite Guitars. The guitar and case are as-new. It's a fabulous guitar, with beautiful quilted mahogany back and sides, but I recently scored a 1938 00-17 that occupies pretty similar sonic territory.
Here's an audio sample from the MFG site. It's definitely this model and I'm pretty sure that it's this particular guitar.

Forgive my photography skills-or lack thereof-the closest representation of the true color of the amberburst is the shot of the guitar in the case.
