I would have to agree with everthing Don said. Luckily there are lots of fine guitar makers to choose from nowadays. Those that want a Martin can find one. Those who don't have plenty of other choices they can make.

Myself - I own a 1967 Martin D-18 and a 2004 Collings OM {among others}. And I can't imagine getting rid of either one of them. And the Martin was cheap. It only cost me $250.00 {back in 1969}. The Collings cost a bit more however.
