I had an older CEO-7 made around the time of the switch to Sipo from mahogany. It was a beautiful guitar that sounded great and I loved the v- shaped neck. BUT, it needed a neck reset and the binding reglued after less than a year and I never felt that I could fully trust it afterwards. I sold it, with a full disclosure, and replaced it with an 0-18. Hopefully the manufacturing problems were resolved by Martin on later models.
