Hi Jim

Thanks for the email & good to chat yesterday

Martin guitars in our opinion are the perfect balance of old school hand=20
made techniques with use of modern machinery, set ups are completed=20
using a plek machine meaning every guitar is very consistent.

All 3 models we discussed are great examples of Martin guitars, 18 being=20
slightly brighter with good projection on the trebles & mids, 28 is a=20
warmer tone, fuller bass and a slight mid scoop & the EC model having=20
similar characteristics to the 28 but with more pronounced thick trebles=20
and a chucker soft v neck profile.

We can offer =C2=A3100 discount on any of these models, just let me know=20
which one you decide on and I can apply the discount for you.

If you need any further info just let me know.

Phil :)
