yes, but im glad to see martin branching out, i mean sooo many of their guitars are very very similar, with just small changes here and there.

you know guys, that is an acoustic-electric guitar. The archtops are used for jazz 99% of the time and do not require any wires unless you are performing. oh and bennedetto was bought out by guild but still oversees the operation. if you want to know about how to build an archtop he wrote an excellent book that I suggest reading
