Now that Jon & Sharon have retired I was wondering if there is another dealer with similar pricing on new Martin guitars.

There are other forum sponsors and Martin AD's who will match the 40%off of MSRP like Jon used to do (Maury comes to mind first) but there will not be another Jon & Sharon or MFG. Still hoping they will maintain a web presence with used and consigned guitars.

According to Jon, he will be mentoring a newcomer to guitar sales based out of Florida.

Reno's Music in Indianapolis is a great choice.

I have built seven Martin Custom shop guitars with the very capable assistance of Ted and Helene at L.A. Guitar Sales. They really know how to communicate with the Custom Shop folks and get you what you want. And the pricing....is ridiculous!

I highly recommend that you contact or visit Ted and Helene at L.A. Guitar Sales. Their telephone number is: 310-246-1933. I have been a customer of theirs since 2011 having bought many guitars from them as well as a custom Martin as a gift for my son-in-law. I was new to guitars at the time and Ted guided me through the guitars in my signature over the years with the exception of my Collings. You will get a very fair price from them and Ted's knowledge and relationship with Martin, Ted's a "Top Ten" Martin dealer, will assure that you will get exactly what you want from the Martin Custom Shop. I visited Ted's shop many times over the years when we still lived in L.A.

I also visited Martin Guitar factory in Nazareth, PA and was given a personal tour. I have no connection with the music industry, they were just nice people!

I’ve bought most of my Martins from Maury. Great guy with great prices and customer service. Highly recommend him.

They treated me extremely well on my OM-28...even when my employment situation got weird. They worked with me. I truly appreciate that because they didn't have to. I have actually communicated with him today via email about a Custom 000-18. I'd like to buy another Martin from them before they close shop. Great people to deal with!

[ScaryLarry]

Thanks for all the info! I really appreciate it!

Check with Jon. I believe he has a dealer lined up to take over his business.

You know it! My Numero Uno for the bottom line price and super service.
