Default 2015 Martin D-28 -Opinions?

I am considering taking a 2015 Martin D-28 in on trade and will not be able to play test it as this will be a shipping transaction. How is the quality of the 2015 models? The last new Martin I had was in 2002. I know the new 2017 models are suppose to be really good. If anyone has experience with a '15 model, please post your thoughts. Thanks!

One of the most sold and imitated guitars on the planet - for good reason. It should be fabulous but I would never trade anything I know I like for something I have no idea about. At least make the other party record the guitar with their tablet or phone. Get SOME idea about the guitar before trading.

Had one and sold it after a few months. In the store it sounded ok and i thought well it will open up and sound better but it did not. Desided to sell it with little pain because i was realy in to a good Martin D28. Now since a week i have a 2017 D28 and man this sounds wonderfull. What a difference this D28 is. I just had bad luck i guess...good luck making up your mind
