It's a beautiful piece of craftsman ship. Obviously not intended for regular playing. I guess it is a little guady, but it is the millionth guitar so why not make it fancy.

Because Martin guitars are known for their "slick", sort of understatement look.

In fact, regardless of the immense craftmanship involved, this has got to be one of the ugliest guitars I've ever seen in my life. Just like some old italian churches, there's so much gold you don't even want to pay attention to the details anymore.

I realy dont see the point of making it like that, it dosnt show or represent martin guitars at all.

..and surley you dont need that many inlays

to tell you the truth though.. this is what shocks me .

The dreadnought body is handcrafted with extremely rare, and nearly unobtainable, C.I.T.E.S.-certified Brazillian rosewood.

human labour is cool, people can do what they want. but it's a bummer when wood becomes valuable because of scaricty.
