And I’m enjoying the extra room with the 1 3/4” nut. Really glad to have EIR back in my tiny herd. This is definitely the best D-28 I’ve owned by far. And I’ve had two standards (one of which was reimagined) and a D-41. Martin really nailed it with these Authentics. Simply superb.

My current two guitars are the best pair I’ve ever owned…both in looks and tone. The Collings burst reminds me of a Kopp and the top on the Martin is so pure. Just a classic look…thankfully no orange toner.

A sweet pair, it is. Congrats to you, Roy!

Still waiting for Kori to get one of these. The pressure is building...

Wow, what a duo! If I had the resources, those might be the two I'd pick for myself. Congratulations on the new Martin Authentic!!
