How do you go about finding that "one" with such limited chances at hand?

I guess the only remaining solution is to establish relationships with Martin dealers via telephone and spend some time determining which has both the guitar you want and seems to best understand your guitar desires. Of course most dealers would be able to order a guitar for you, but there's no substitute for someone at the dealership already having the guitar in-hand.
