That is almost verbatim what I posted over on UMGF when the guitar first came out.

My feeling was that it was traditional, basic, well-made guitars that the company was built on, not ostentatious-ness.

The mere facts of being in business since 1833 and having reached that number speak volumes about The C.F.Martin Guitar Company more than anything else.

Of course the sad thing is that most people are impressed by gaudy more than anything else. Hand them a simple guitar with the S/N 1,000,000 and it'll go right over their heads..........
