Jon and Sharon,

So here I am, sitting in my office diligently getting my work done and minding my own business when the man in the big brown truck shows up with a box. Unfortunately I made the fatal mistake of opening the box only to find the most incredibly beautiful Koa T5 I have ever seen. Pretty soon, several employee's were gathered around my office to take a look at my new prized possession. I then heard the presses in the pressroom stop printing. Next the folder stopped folding and soon the production people were in my office as well all ooooing and ahhhhing over such lovely instrument. Needless to say, Friday afternoon production around my shop suddenly came to a grinding halt. And you know something? I can't think of a better way to bring the weeks production to a close. Once again, thanks to both of you for the outstanding customer service. You truly go above and beyond the call of duty to satisfy your customers.

Warmest regards,

Mark

This is the exact same guitar as the Martin D-18 Golden Era, except My Favorite Guitars custom orders them with the Ambertone 1933 finish.  For this reason, the neck block is stamped "Custom."  A FREE Greven 30's or medium pickguard is included with the purchase of this guitar. We are allowed to advertise ACTUAL PRICES on all Custom Shop guitars.
 IMPORTANT! IT "APPEARS" LIKE OUR AMBERTONE GUITARS ARE HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS LESS THAN OUR STANDARD SERIES SUNBURST GUITARS -- THIS IS BECAUSE WE ARE REQUIRED TO ADVERTISE PRODUCTION GUITARS AT MAP OR MINIMUM ADVERTISED PRICE - BUT WE ARE ALLOWED TO ADVERTISE CUSTOM SHOP GUITARS (LIKE OUR AMBERTONE GUITARS) AT ACTUAL PRICES!
