I say yes, but it can be replicated.
The 'Martin sound' is basically a sound that they created, so they get to be identified with it. Someone else could copy a Martin build and probably achieve similar tone if they paid enough attention to the detail.
Martin still gets to be identified with the tonal signature because they invented it, though.
