Back in the early 70s I had a Martin F-65 electric. It was a thin-line double cutaway archtop hollowbody with two DeArmond single coil pickups. It had a clear plexiglass(!) bridge. It was kind of like a Gibson ES 330.
Good guitar, but butt-ugly IMO. I played a lot of gigs with that guitar.
I doubt that Martin would include an electric line. They seem to be doing quite well just as they are. We've all seen Fender's attempts at making acoustics (ahem). Guitarists are a notoriously conservative lot when it comes to companies making guitars that don't seem to fit with our preconceived notions.
