Location: SoCal | Good placement of the Tak advertisement on page 4, opposite the Martin.
Gee, buy ANY Martin (except Little Martin, Backpacker, and SO Uke's) and you will have a 175th Anniversary Martin Guitar Certificate. Not a particular model, any model.
With as many special issues that Martin has come out with, you would think they would have a 175th Anniversary model... |

Location: SoCal | Sure, I know what you are saying but they also will have other models with a personalized COA saying
C. F. Martin & Co.
Certificate of Authenticity
175th Anniversary Martin Guitar
your name, model, serial number, and signed (or printed signature) of CEM IV.
So, a D-15 is 175th Anniversary Martin Guitar.
Dispute...check out the advertisement. With a COA like that, watch and see eBay sellers listing 175th Anniversary Martin Guitar
Just a little strange...usually reserved for the specific high-end limited model. |

Location: SoCal | from a Harmony review for a D-28:
As a bonus, and unknown to me when I bought it, it turns out that this is a 175th anniversary model. I received a certificate in the mail with the serial number and my name on it. Cool.

Location: Tennessee | Nice article. After getting to spend a small amount of time with the Q, I understand what all the fuss is about and wish that somehow they could be made into a production model at a reasonable price. Ovation was way ahead of the market and the Q was way better than either the RainSong or the CA that I've played (although I do think the CA guitars are really nice given their price point of about $2K). |

Location: Winter Haven, FL | I've got a CA Legacy COT with the LR Baggs iMix system in it, and it really is a great guitar. It's got a 1 3/4" nut width that I find very comfortable, and the tone is extremely sweet. It plays great and is comfortable in the hands. What's not to like?

| I was impressed by Trader Jim's CA. Very nice sound and playability. Didn't get a chance to play the Q since Cliffy hogged it at Amelia. |
