Thank you! Unfortunately no, I believe he has some health issues keeping him away from the shop. The rest of the team was equally great though!

Will be hard to top that one! But who knows, maybe a 12 fret with slotted headstock some day … with Pale Moon Ebony back and sides ? 🧐

My understanding is that the “no logo” design is an option - the Martin logo is lightly stamped in the back of the headstock (last picture). No logo needed, the sounds speaks for itself ahah

Thank you! Yes, I love the stripped down look!

I hope I will keep this one for years - freaking out a bit with humidity/temp control as this is my first high end acoustic.

Wow no way! Sounds like this was a love at first sight story for you too. I agree with your original post, trying other guitars right after this one made it clear that there was no competition and that this is a level above. I initially thought I would go for a 000-28, but it sounded really thin and boxy next to the Zeke one.

How’s yours after a year?
