2005 Martin DC Aura Sunburst. I purchased this guitar new. I ordered it with the sunburst finish. It’s the only one I’ve ever seen in sunburst. It is easily the most beautiful guitar I’ve ever owned however I just don’t play it all that much.  It has been well cared for and is in fantastic condition.  It has no dings, dents, gouges or damage of any kind other than a couple of light scratches. Please don’t ask for a detailed description of every last little thing I can find on this guitar, If you need a perfect guitar you should buy a new one. This guitar is used and priced accordingly. This guitar plays and sounds every bit as good as it looks, you won’t be disappointed. It has the Fishman Aura system electronics. Plugged into my PA, this thing sounds completely natural just louder. The best electrics I’ve ever heard in an acoustic. The photos don’t show the abalone rosette or top perimeter inlay.  I’ll try to get some better ones.
