I did buy her in the U.S. from a Martin dealer. Neat situation, the factory sent him the guitars and he set them up to specific player's needs. He had a number on hand to choose from. He worked and sold out of his basement by appointment. i'm within 400 miles of the factory, so I guess I could take it there. I understand they can verify purchase by serial #, 'cause I sure as hell don't have the sales slip. She is under warranty, but really? Mike
