Martin has introduced some really great models!!! I need to go over to the Martin site and check the specs. The 000 GE models have me gassing by name alone! :smoke:

[nothin but the blues]

They're beauties Mike. Something I may even be interested in. The specs are very simliar as the Clapton Models. It should be in the same price range as the D-18GE, $2,600 or so in the stores.

Now that is sharp!

[TexMexMike]

Wow. Some really nice stuff Erik. I just got through drewling over at the Martin site. It has me thinking a new direction for my next purchase. :spin:

I had been looking at D-28 Marquis or Om Marquis. But I may just have to jump on a 000-18GE! I love those ADI tops!!! :smoke:


EDIT: Yup. $2643.00 out the door (7.5% tax here in OC), is where I would begin my negotiations!
