    I nearly put mine in classifieds within a month of buying it. I thought I'd never get used to the neck and nut width. But I had it professionally set up and it made a wonderful difference. It now has low action but sounds as big as a barn :)

    Yes they're superb guitars and if I did sell it would probably regret it.

    I've seen that Coda have a DR Centennial in with the Adi VTS top just now for £1499.

    Looks like an interesting guitar, but a bit plain for me with the matt finish and lack of binding on the back edge.
    The DR Centennial is a good guitar, Martin usually reserve the VTS process for much higher priced models. Also how often do you look at the back edge.

    I've no doubt it is a nice guitar. Just not what I'm looking for.

    If I owned it I'd be looking at the back edge all the time wishing it were bound.

    Yeah you can’t have niggles, even if there are rational reasons they shouldn’t be niggles. It’ll always bother you.

    @BigPaulie your strategy sound perfect. Get something with quality like a Yamaha R/W, if it still scratches an itch, go for the Martin. I still have my first D28 ( a whole history of blood,  gigs etc ). If I am honest.other guitars have become more important to me, but my D28 is still precious to me for all that it inspired me to go on to. I had to get the bridge plate sorted a few years ago, but it's still a classic for a certain sound. All the best |( sorry if some of my posts hijacked your original thread ).
