Maybe even two of them.
PS: An investor collector would tell you that you are pissing your money away if you went the small shop luthier route, as your resell value would be very low.

Investor/collector here and I don't see this guitar as a long term investment opportunity in fact some small shop guitars like Henderson and Somogyi will do better imo. If you must invest in a Martins then I think vintage is the way to go.
