Here's a link to the Hawaiian and here's one to the cowboy

This strikes me as being — for the owners of real Martin guitars — almost like what Mercedes tried to pull on years ago when they introduced the 180-series compacts into North America. A friend who worked for a Mercedes dealer said the company wanted to sell them for about $17,000, but the dealers objected because it would damage the car's image. The company acquiesced and sold them for $31,000 to keep the dealers happy.
