Jon & Sharon,

Just a brief note to say how incredibly happy I am with your Custom 00-28V. In addition to your great service and willingness to work with me to get the deal right, the guitar you sent turns out to be just about the finest new custom Martin I've had (and I've had a few, as your records alone will show). This amazing guitar is head and shoulders above most of the guitars my friends and I have A/Bd against it. You've got a real winner here and I consider myself fortunate to now own one. It's a Keeper!

My best,
-- Jim M.

This is the EXACT same specs as the Martin D-18 Golden Era, except My Favorite Guitars custom orders them with the Ambertone 1933 finish.  For this reason: 1.) The neck block is stamped "Custom."  2.) There is no label inside the guitar. WE ARE ALLOWED TO ADVERTISE AND PUBLISH 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!
