(06/09/08 4:01 PM) Moderator Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	According to the count that's pinned to the top of this Topic, there are at least 76 that are numbered today. That list was last edited in April 2008 and there was only one other post of a change of ownership of #16 since April 2008. It is my understanding that they will be numbered and will only last as long as the spec wood [quilted mahogany back] will be available. Check with Jon or Maury or any other Martin Dealer to see if they are still available.

(01/14/09 11:09 AM) Moderator Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	This is a very special guitar for fingerstyle playing. Once you have played one, you are hooked until you buy one. As far as flying off the shelf, I don't know of any other "custom" models that have been produced in this number. I think we are now in the 80s from the posts I have seen. I noted that Jon with My Favorite Guitar has at least two, one amberburst, on his site and he would probably have a number on it.

I'm sorry but you can't have it back, in fact I was thinking about buying another one so I would have a backup in case anything happened to #81. GAS?! Now how can I make sure I get #100 and I think it would have to be a natural top... not to hijack but does anyone have a count of naturals vs. bursts? Dan.

Of the two 00-18S JM's I saw, the quilt was nothing to get excited about. I wonder how much quilted mahogany is left. Mike

Surprising that more were'nt sold.

(01/24/09 9:52 AM) Moderator Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	12000 UMGF members, but not all fingerpickers, which who this guitar appeals to the most although I find it impressive for strumming as well. The Bluegrass and Flatpickers in the groug already have access to standard models that really meet their specs - that's why Martin does so well with the D28, D35 and HD versions of these guitars.

I just could not resist letting others who might be interested in a UMGF not take a gander at this beauty.
