I think mine was around AU$2300 during the pandemic, first post covid shipment into Oz! It's such a great guitar, so sweet sounding. The neck did move after a few months, my tech guy fixed it no problem, he said it was a common issue with new Martins. I then got an LR Baggs pick-up fitted, was expecting great things into my DAW but it sounds a bit ropey, does the job with a bit of brutal EQ but it isn't terrific.
Dearly beloved is getting this for full on Kinks '67 vibes. I'm hoping it'll sound good straight into Logic as well!

I can't imagine a Malibu getting close either but they look cute... burgundy or the dark blue maybe? I wish I'd nabbed one of the 000-15 or 000-15S Martins when you could import them for £750 new from Nashville, I organised that for a mate once. Funnily enough I tried a new 00-18 in Camden just the other day and thought it was really good. £2900 now over here for a Standard series 18 is just wild though, I can't get my head around it...
hey Wicksie!! Gonna drop down to polo...?
