If you and some of the other posters here did know a little more about the Martin family and the Legacy Chris is very succesfully continuing, you might not be so quick to criticize. I own two Martins and like them very much. Thing is, with the low-end models(witch I own) you have to pick through a lot of them before you find the"good"one.

I think CFM aught to start a new line of git's: The 17-1/2 series; Guitars that sound like they cost $3000, but cheap enough that "musicians" can afford them...Can't tell you how many times I've met guys with ultra-expensive guitars who SUCK.

Man, you are crackin' me up!!
