Get used to it, Mark... Martin absolutely stands behind their instruments... I purchased my D-18 in 1966 new and, other than strings, Martin has fixed all kinds of stuff, includin' cracks from variuos little accidents.... Three years ago they paid to have the neck reset and had a new bone saddle made....

Now, Mark, take that Original Owners certificvate and put it in a safety deposit box... I'm not joking... That's where mine stays...

And, good choice of guitars...
