Others have had excellent experiences with them. I have not.
Eventually the whole top of the guitar peeled up from the sides.

There is some truth to what you say and I don't doubt your story. I once overheard a guy just lambasting a guitar store sales guy over some bearclaw in a Taylor GS mini. He kept his composure but it was all I could do to tell the guy to buy a "real" guitar if he wanted the good wood. LOL. They get all kinds of people. No excuse not to be civil though.
I don't for the life of me know why Martin would put their name on anything below the 15 series. They used to have the Sigma brand as their import line.
