Knotty -- I know what you mean; my Martin only cost $800 back in 1980. I've seen some of these specialty Martins, and they tend to be a cut above even their own regular axes. But still, past the gee-whiz factor you can get as good of a guitar cheaper. Hey, Gord doesn't play one!
What I'd like to see is a retooled Gibson B45 model (the originals are hard to play)...but Gibson has never gotten behind that guitar, dropping it from their line several times. Still, they have done some artist commemorative guitars -- ones that are less associated with the artist than the B45 is with Gord!
