We have been impressed with the great Martins we have received in the last few years and have felt that they are getting better and better and more and more consistent and that they are tribute to a great guitar company. But we being who we are couldn't leave well enough alone and up an sent a D18 to Parabolic Brace Works for them to work there magic.
Lo and behold we learned via a slip of the tongue that Martin itself had a D28 there getting the same treatment. So its either "great minds think alike or "Even a blind pig finds an acorn now and then".
Anyway the results exceeded our expectations and they sent us back an instrument that the angels in heaven would throw away their harps to play.
