Martin will give us the skinny soon enough. It’s a forum, I see nothing that isn’t just having fun or pure excited anticipation? Anyway, off to my corner.

I expect that the announcement will not include the two aspects that would make Martin a competitive exporter: lower prices and the extention of the lifetime guarantee to other countries.

Agreed, that would be one hell of an addition to the line! |

Amen! I’m sure in the US Martin is good value but they are very poor value in the UK at present with that lovely combination of very high price/no lifetime guarantee. Add to that all the binding issues and it’s a hard pill to swallow. I will add a Martin someday I’m sure but for now it’s just not a good deal. Even used the prices are very high and many have issues relating to binding or cracks.

Martin will probably announce that they going to build/sell 4 models only from now on.......D18, D28, 00018 and OM28.
All will have 1 3/4” nut with 2 1/4” bridge space, mod V neck and.....wood binding! Supplied in Hiscox cases..... BluesKing777. |

Yep, 12-fretters, and also some guitars with chunkier necks (and I don't mean with a V-profile), while retaining a 1 3/4" nut. I wanted to like the Martin I used to own (a DSS-17), but the MLO profile neck drove me up the wall.

D-18 StreetLegend™ The satin-finished top on the new StreetLegend includes some visual wear inspired by historic models found in our museum. This gives your brand-new guitar a well-loved look that shows your music has an old soul like many of the fine instruments we’ve curated over the years. The D-18 StreetLegend is crafted with satin-finished mahogany back and sides, so you’ll still enjoy plenty of volume and pick up some bright trebles and punchy midrange tones. The scalloped bracing on this model contributes volume and a fuller sound than non-scalloped bracing. It also includes open-gear aged tuners and a satin-aged pickguard to complete the aesthetic. List price: $2,399. D-28 StreetLegend™ The satin-finished top on the new StreetLegend includes some visual wear inspired by historic models found in our museum.
