Martin D-18 Modern Deluxe Demo and Sound Test : Just the Right Amount of Upgrades

D18 Modern Deluxe Sonic Documentation, Phase 1.... Everybody loves a D18. And most everybody loves a D18 with a Torrefied Top, some tasty cosmetic appointments, and a couple subtle modern upgrades am I right? Carbon fiber bridge plate, liquid metal bridge pins, titanium truss rod.... All functional and welcome modifications, at least to me. I love vintage guitars and do consider myself to be a bit of a traditionalist, but I also have been around vintage guitars enough to know that innovation in the acoustic guitar world is certainly not a bad thing, if done right. Kudos to Martin for putting out this whole line, I hope it is proving successful for them because I think they're on the right track with these. I'll have a 000-28 MD in soon to check out so stay tuned.
