Yeah, I really liked how they’d simplified the structure as of last year, and my gut reaction when seeing the new series was that it reintroduces complexity into the lineup as it relates to the iconic models. But I get that they want something at that price point, and that they want to carve out some room to bring some new things to the table while retaining folks’ affinity for the classics.

The truth is, I really don't want to buy anything since I just bought a 2018 Martin D-45 that I am very happy with. I have my forward shifted, scalloped bracing along with some significant bling. I just want to see Martin do well in the marketplace. It does look like they are doing the right things after all!

That’s right, I remember now that you’ve got that D-45! I’ll bet that’s a winner.
