I said I'd stir it up with this thread. Ain't it amazing how attached you can get to a lump of wood? All I can say to Rockaday Johnnie is you are a very wealthy man. See Frank even us mere mortals that are lucky enough to own a Martin can still be envious.
However a slightly serious question for those of you in the know about Martins. I was told that you should never buy one made after a certain date (don't ask me when cos it escapes me), due to them moving factory or changing their wood stock or something. Is this bullshit or not?
You know what they say about knowing whether you've found a good guitar or not. Cos you'll never part with it.
