I've been through two myself, one Sitka one Adi. I'm done with D-18s.

Which did you like best and why?

You should have MF confirm what you will be getting. What they are showing could be an old set of pictures. They had an run of VTS topped guitars with newish features that when released a few years ago where designated as “custom”, but then recently changed to “special.” Double check what is stamped on the guitar.

BAD news..... I bought it.... And the deal is still up!

I'm not joking, my credit card is groaning, I'm wondering what processed me... I knew I would have a moment of "stupidity"!!!!!

I've got GAS bad!

Well then, we've all done our job.

As we all know, the number one job of AGF members is helping spend other people's money.

Congrats... hope it's a killer.

Thanks! But I need get back to the other side of this equation. Being the "spender" is the wrong side...

Sooooo,
Just checked! SDOTD just changed to a Martin GP-28E Standard Grand Performance! $2199! 😁

My Favorite Guitars lists the spec sheet with the custom and you can do the calculations right on that number. He usually advertises them a couple hundred over the 40% off list price.

For instance, this one lists for $4500 which at 40% off would be $2700. He has it listed for $2800.

Ok I see. I didn't realize that the advertised price of the Customs was already so low. Probably why I can't seem to get any forums sponsors to go much lower on Customs.

Nope I kept my composure. Let me explain why.

I can't for the life of me sell my 517. Been trying since September. I just got serious about selling it in November, but there is absolutely zero interest in it. I can't figure out why. Price seems to be ok. Is not having the ES2 really that big of a turn off for folks???

No, it's because your original post still says $2275. No one notices your post way down the thread where you've lowered the price to $1900.

You need to edit that first post with the updated price!!! People have an attention span of 10 seconds...make it easy for them.

I bought one of these and I must say.... I really love it. Sounds great to me and plays great. I've been wanting a martin for a while. Mine says special on the inside. Imo it's awesome
