When I first started reading this thread about the turntable, I thought it was a joke, and responded accordingly. I have a Martin sinker mahogany guitar and love it.
I know that if you want to continue to make good guitars, you must first stay in business. For Harley Davidson and some good guitar companies, it means you need to expand your operation to include selling things that your followers would like to have (I have a Martin tee shirt and ashtray that I like). It sounds like the Martin turntable is half-way decent, but not state of the art. If people want to buy them, that is ok with me. I wonder though if Chris Martin were still running the company, whether he would have approved of a turntable like that.
