They sound very interesting indeed although, if I bought one, those 'liquid metal' bridge pins would be gone and a set of AA pins would be in.
Unfortunately, the new CFM policy re international sales, which will force me to pay the hugely inflated prices charged by UK dealers rather than purchase direct from a US dealer, means that the chance of me getting one of these is virtually zero. The usual disclaimers apply......IMHO, YMMV etc.

Glenn, you may be in luck — it looks like the Modern Classic D-28 has the herringbone trim and the forward-shifted, scalloped bracing.

Ahhh... it's wonderful when you listen to the first notes played on the video and feel the goosebumps develop. Doesn't happen often.
I wish Martin häd picked a different name for that series. Modern Deluxe sounds rather cheap and unimaginative to my ears. Just my 2 cents.

Yeah, I thought that was funny, too, especially given how the CEO and other Martin reps appeared on video after video last year to talk about streamlining model names to match bracing patterns. Guess that didn't last long. Haha

The truth is, I really don't want to buy anything since I just bought a 2018 Martin D-45 that I am very happy with. I have my forward shifted, scalloped bracing along with some significant bling. I just want to see Martin do well in the marketplace. It does look like they are doing the right things after all! - Glenn
