I've owned a Guild D35 and Gibson Hertiage for over twenty years and about 15 years ago I decide to get a good quality OM. I read a bit about the Martin 000 28ec and bought one. When I opened the shipping carton and took the guitar out of the case, at the guitar store, there was a rattling noise and it turned out to be manufacturing debris inside the guitar body. We cleaned out the junk and I took it home. What a disappointment. It had poor intonation and a very thick finish on the spruce top that was damping the top's vibration. I called Martin and they sent me another 000 28ec. It was clean inside but still had poor intonation and a very thick top finish. Within a week I traded it in for a new 2004 Santa Cruz OM. It had great intonation and a top finish so thin you could feel the grain. It's sound was also far better than any Martin I've tried. I mention all this because I wonder how the PRS acoustic would compare. Has anyone any input regarding intonation and top finish or other thoughts about it?
