A Martin a"mere"guitar? These guys hold them up as the next best thing to the second coming!
Understood. I love my 000-C16. But I was blown away by a Collins auditorium I played. I did not like my D18 near as much, though. (Great for rhythm but not picking leads.) I sold it and bought an amp and a Gibson J45 that needed work (and still needs work.)
There are many small luthiers that probably make better guitars. If you can catch one of these who haven't made a reputation yet, then you may have a find.
Anyone been on the Unofficial Martin Guitar Forum?
