Seems like a very good deal!

Tempting. So tempting.
|
It's a good deal, however it's not 40% off the MSRP, which a few mom and pop shops will match.
|
Okay, 40% off of the list price would be $2160 but that's without the VTS treatment, which adds maybe another $300? Plus the neck is mahogany whereas the regular D-28 is select hardwood (could be mahogany). This is a good deal.

It's going to be difficult to 'unsee' this. |
First up, I don't think MF's $3,299.99 is MSRP from Martin.
Price a D-28 and MSRP starts at $3,599. Customize it on the Martin site and you get a MSRP at $4411 to maybe $4,832. Option prices adding to the base: VTS Sitka Spruce top - $520 Ebony headplate overlay - $210 Gotoh open gear tuners - $82 (cheapest of the Gotoh open gear options) Custom Shop Luthier Service - $419 (Questionable here, since MF will be marked "Special", not "Custom") If I haven't brought a MF Special D18 VTS a couple of months ago, I would be waiting for the arrival of this SDOTD myself. And as it is, I finding this a extremely powerful pull on the wallet today. :D |
Bought a new D28 in December, else I'd buy this.
If it were a D18, I'd buy it. |

Personally I think your D18 was the better buy. This has straight braced and I personally don't care for straight-braced guitars when compared to scalloped-braced guitars. |
