One of the reasons for the questioning is that Martin didn't make them for that long. Couple that with the fact that they make their nylon strings in much smaller numbers compared to the steel strings, and it makes for a guitar that few have had the opportunity to experience.

Obviously they didn't sell in as great a number as Martin wanted and the decision was made to discontinue the line. It is a niche market and I think this model is sorely missed. I think it was ahead of its time. There seems to be a growing market for the crossover. Hopefully Martin will take notice and bring it back or maybe they are working on a new crossover. In the meantime, perhaps one can be ordered through their custom shop.
