I understand what you say and knew that the D-15 series is good, but a Martin D-15M is not much different from the new Guild D-20 as it looks. My comment initially was wrong as I thought the 15 series has those odd laminated necks, but they seem to have real mahogany necks. So I was wrong.No offense Ralf, but I'd be surprised if either of these were as good as Martin's 15 series. The D20 would have to be awful good to be better than the last D15 I played, and that might happen at some point, but likely not out of the box at Oxnard.
Thanks for that link! So the finish on the D-20 and M-20 is a "catalyzed varnished finish". That info was the only new info I spotted in the video. It certainly speeds up production vs a sprayed nitro. But Ren also mentioned that the higher end guitars will get nitro again.Acoustic Guitar interview with Ren Ferguson and introduction of the new models is here:
