Not to mention the fact that Martin's warranty wouldn't even be applicable there.

A lot of people think that guitars having similar specs make some guitars comparable to what the big three produce. In some cases they are right, in most they are wrong.

I would also add that if you have never played the guitar in question, you cannot reasonable and accurately answer the OP's question.
thank you roy, you feel me.
I cant even try a single d18,d28 in my country, i have to import it from singapore. Maybe another city in my country have mexican martin, dx series or something, but i dont want it. If i gonna take martin then i prefer the usa one.

Also not to mention to get the d28, i have to save a whole annual salary. Lol. And not sure how to setup the guitar to my liking,shipping damage, high tax for luxury items, and the guarantee, etc. Most sad thing is i cant try an expensive guitar (for me) im gonna buy, except i took a flight to singapore (nearest country that have martin standard series).

Just curious if someone have tried them both and share some opinion, its 850$ vs 2800$, big deal for me now.
