I owned a Martin M-38 a number of years back. The plastic binding along the fret board came loose near the headstock. The repair was a quick fix covered under the warranty even though the guitar was 9 years old. No other issues found.
I also think that Martin does a reasonably good job of quality control given the high number of guitars they produce.
I do understand that when you purchase a high end item, it is reasonable to expect that there be no problems. But things are just not always perfect.
Best,
Jayne
