I'd like to see one. I had a CEO-6 and never bonded with it? Part was all the (inside the guitar) electronics that took a degree from MIT to figure out. The CS D-18 12 is much more to my liking. But I'm sure the new CEO-7 is beautiful!

Okay...that's one I could get on board with. Completely different from the CEO-6 which was a full size 14 fret slope shoulder dread. Plus this one has "optional" electronics...nice! And the price is much nicer to boot!

Nice that they put a proper Martin logo on the headstock.

The Gibsonesque one on the CEO-6 was pretty bad IMO.

Really disappointed in Martin to be honest. Don't get me wrong, this new CEO-7 looks like a great/beautiful guitar however i'm sad to see they didn't have it in a 14 fret slope shoulder body. I realize they make fantastic 12-fret slopes but they have NOTHING to compete with a J-45 etc. Is it even possible to order a 14 fret slope shoulder from Martins custom shop?

Looks really nice and I love the specs....clearly Martin's attempt to join in on the 1930s L-00 repro party.

She's a beauty! Nice to see the ebony fingerboard vs. the Micarta on previous "CEO" offerings.

I don't know for sure but Ted @ LA Guitar Sales or Jon @ MFG would be happy to answer that question I'm sure? If they are still building the CEO-6 then they can probably build one to your specs in the CS...might take a while?

Just when you thought Martn was getting better with their bursts they come back and prove you wrong.
