Been lurking this forum for a couple of years- I have an SDR-28H that I bought new in 1987 or 88. Love that guitar- changed the saddle to Tusq, and I believe that it can go toe to toe with many of the martins in my local guitar center (and most of the Gibsons and Breedloves...and some of the Taylors...) But I bought a D10 today and it blows away any other acoustic I've ever owned.   The price? $200. Yes, it has a few battle scars on the spruce top, but no cracks whatsoever, neck straight as an arrow, almost NO fretwear. Yes, I feel incredibly lucky.   Previous owner bought it new and had a martin passive pickup professionaly mounted under the saddle about 9 years ago. I also own a 1937 martin 017- (nyc stoop sale- $90!) and a 2005 Taylor 210e- nice sounding, no-frills solid body player. The D-10 is now hands down the nicest guitar I own. Absolutely complex sound !
