The Bigsby Martin is amazing. Bout time they repo's that one. The originals were amazing and super rare.

This headstock is insane! I like how the pickguard echoes the head shape. I've been looking for an acoustic for a while now, I prefer it to electric acoustics, and if this one was cheaper, it would be my choice acoustic

I am disappointed in Martin for using HPL.

Those Bigsby headstocks are rad. I wish the Bigsby solidbodys were cheap and mass produced. I'd love to play one.

i know about 3 years ago the cheapest all wood(or mostly) was like 1600.00 and it still had laminated sides.

CF Martin IV sucks - I hope his daughter fixes the company or at least contracts designer who can. Silver Creek, Morgan Monroe, and Blueridge can build all-solid guitars for well under $1000; even with American production, an all-solid should start at $1500 (and not have that ugly-ass pink shitwood neck they use on the "entry" models).
Sloan: Play a vintage martin, even 70s versions - they're great guitars. CFMIV just fucked it up trying to save a couple trees. The alternative materials they use actually do more environmental damage and leave a bigger carbon footprint then just CUTTING DOWN A FUCKING TREE.

I played some 1942 Martin at Chamber's Guitars in Nashville. It was kinda gay.
