If the '37 AA D-28 had a more user-friendly neck, that'd be my favorite guitar I've ever played and I'd be wanting one bad. IMO, I think the Martin faithful get frustrated if Martin tries something new and only wants the pre-war guitar sound. I love my Martin, but they're gonna get left behind if that's all they continue to push.
They are only the oldest continuously operating company in the United States, 200 years + now? I'm not so sure they will just disappear or get 'left behind.'
