They sound like really good, well-played-in examples of the standard versions of the model. And even though I’m not in general crazy about Martin’s spec’ing the guitars with scrawny chicken necks, I find the MD’s necks to be more comfortable than the standard-issue scrawny chicken neck. (My preferred neck profile is a 1 7/8” mod-V, so I recognize I’m an outlier in that regard.) They really sing. Well worth the upcharge, IMHO.
Good comments. Funny how the neck thing works. I wasn’t wild about the “Vintage Deluxe” at first but after playing a 000-28MD everyday for a couple of months, I now prefer it to the MLO. I wear an XL golf glove so my hands are not small.
