1998 Martin SPDC-16RSolid Wood Cutaway - Made Only 1 Year -  This model impressed me so much I bought all of them I could find (that was a total of 2, good luck finding one!). It it a cut-a-way dreadnaught with no electronics. But it has solid woods and nice appointments, like the snow-flake inlays. It is a very loud and clear guitar that has good action (probably still set as from factory). It was only made ONE YEAR, so it is relatively obscure model. Condition is EXCELLENT except for a few dings on top near bottom of guitar, probably from careless movements into a guitar stand. The rest of guitar is very clean.
