I sort of like that idea but I wish they had not left that ugly bolt showing on the back. I know I'm just being picky but that's me.

I thought the same. Maybe they don't count that because they copied it from Taylor.

The ‘02 Martin “Custom-D” I had also was a bolt on neck, so it’s not exactly a new thing from Martin.
I’d like to play one.

Completely different type of bolt-on with this model, however. There's a pic on Martin's website that shows the back up close, and it def resembles a bolt-on electric neck, as opposed to the standard acoustic bolt-on coming from the neck block into the neck.

Me too Jim. From Spoon's politically correct (understandably) comments, I don't think she's gonna have the growl and depth we expect from a Martin. I think they're totally going for plugged-in tone and playability on this one.

Said $1499 in the articles that have filtered out so far. Sounds more right given the make-up of it.

Jim was referencing the price on Martin's website, which is $1899. $1499 is prob street. Which is too high, IMO, for a laminated guitar, no matter the bells and whistles.

I love the cutaways by the heel allowing much better high-fret access. I'd like to learn more about their "new sure align" neck design.
But the "road series" designation is a big turnoff for me......

It's interesting to me that they'd veneer it with fancy woods if the actual box is made solid otherwise because (as we've seen in comments above) there are a lot of folks who devalue it immediately when they hear "laminate". It's cool innovation and basically a hot combo of things that aren't very "Martin-ish" which kinda works. I actually think that due to the unique shape and other features, the Martin headstock looks super out of place. |
