The guitar has had a recent neck reset, and plays cleanly up and down the neck. Our shop has installed a new nut, to replace an older replacement with too-narrow spacing. The back has been refinished, and the back and sides show light overspray. The bridge is original, and the bridge plate appears so as well. It's likely that a luthier has thinned the neck a bit at some point in the past: it feels a bit thinner in the first position than other Martins from this period, and the neck finish shows signs of alteration in that area. To reiterate, the takeaway with this guitar is: excellent sounding instrument for a player who doesn't mind a few alterations. Priced with new hard case from the "Original Case Co."
