Review of Martin SJ-200, err, CEO-8 w video

Needs a moustache bridge but I like it.

So that's a "martin" on the pick guard?

Very cool IMO.

Also, that jumbo shape has its own thing going on... a little less rounded in the bouts...

Finally I've never played sycamore. Interesting!

You make it sound good Spoon!

Nice playing. Thanks for posting.

Finally had a chance to listen to this video and this guitar actually sounds pretty darn good! Bass could be a little stronger but I love the saturated midrange. Lots of presence and chime.

Unfortunately looks wise, it fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down. Me thinks that "The Martin" Gibson-style logo on the headstock is the first thing that goes on any custom order...

Plus 1 on that

I guess the question is, 'Does Martin Make A Better Gibson Than Gibson?'
