Thanks for the great review. I am considering either the 000-18GE sunburst, or the 000-18 Marquis sunburst. If I have done my homework, the only difference is the brazilian veneer headstock verses madagascar. Have you had the oportunity to play the Marquis?

Thanks,

Jeff

It’s a great Guitar and I get the 1 3/4 inch nut!
I have one and a D-28 Golden Era Brazilain and also a Clapton 1996 D-28ec
(probably screwed up on the model #).

Cool Cary! Never get rid of it. Acoustic guitars just sound better and better with time. I have a early 80′s Larivee dreadnought that just sounds like magic. Perfectly balanced with a fantastic feel…with bracing modeled after a high end Classical Guitar. I only wish it was cut-away and had electronics that didn’t need an outboard rig to sound like a real acoustic guitar.

000 body means that finger-style probably sounds fantastic on your Martin. I keep looking at new Taylors simply because I want a guitar that sounds like an acoustic guitar plugged in and can get reasonably loud, while still sounding great acoustic…. and I love Taylor necks. Some of the new Taylors fit that bill… but at around $3000, I gotta keep hoping I win the lottery or I get an unexpected bonus.
