Yeah....it;s almost so uniquely it's own thing, it should have gotten it's own series and numbering system to not associate it with things some see as inferior or lower grade.
It's interesting to me that they'd veneer it with fancy woods if the actual box is made solid otherwise because (as we've seen in comments above) there are a lot of folks who devalue it immediately when they hear "laminate".
It's cool innovation and basically a hot combo of things that aren't very "Martin-ish" which kinda works. I actually think that due to the unique shape and other features, the Martin headstock looks super out of place.
