ancient1, Uh, oh ya. Sure. Why not? Would make a great camp-fire guitar.

I'm sure there's a rich blind man somewhere that would buy that. LOL!

Last sentence of their blurb: "this instrument will be played and prized until the end of time." Uh, ya, it may be prized (by aforementioned blind man) until the end time, but it ain't gettin' played .....not for that price.

ancient1 ,TonyKgull ,Garland ,

It has got a 1.75 inch nut width, that alone must be worth $199,000.

Did you see the advertisement for the Martin Titanium core strings, with Nickel winding for Acoustic guitars, below the the underpriced Martin guitar.

seagullplayer, the case my 00015M came in is pretty good- of course I'll never be taking it on the road so I'll never know how sturdy it it-

Derick, they can keep their titanium core strings-

I ain't pyin that much for strings-

at the Strings by Mail website a disclaimer (or letter of apology I'm not sure which)SBM said Martin asked them to not discount the strings- all I can say is; good luck and hope you sell a ton of them..... to someone else.

Garland,

Saw the advertisement for the Martin strings but there was no price, sounds like they are expensive so I'll pass on them. (Yes I did say pass on them, this is not a spelling mistake).

I wasn't impressed!! I think they sold for $40 initially!!
