I've played them and they're great! The sound is very rich and full, great tone. If you can, get a golden era if you have the cash, the best acoustic guitar i have ever played.

He just asked if you played it.
IMO the Golden Era is not worth the $$

My bad, I just thought that you though I may have come off as someone who simply idolizes Dave and will freakishly do anything he does when infact I am a musician. Just didn't want to be associated w that group of people...sorry if i came off strong, i apologize and appreciate everyones input

Production value on new Martins has been going down in the last year. I suggest looking for a 2005 or older for sure.
