I know this topic has been worked over in the past many times, but I would love to hear more opinions on people's experiences with the new Martin Style 3's, and whether they believe the KTS-7 is a better deal or not. I'm hoping to add something along these lines to my collection in the next month or so, but I am torn. I'm not currently considering vintage Martins, mostly because I wouldn't want to buy one without playing it first, as I have heard that not all old Martins are great players. I want good intonation, good tone, and an instrument that is crack free and has not been repaired in the past. Also, when you come across a vintage style 3 that meets these criteria, it is usually cost prohibitive.
So, anyone out there recently purchase a new Martin Style 3? I'm interested in the mahogany, koa, or even the cherry (although Petey's experience with the cracked katalox fretboard worries me).
Thanks,
-Steve
