Thanks....I really took my time finding it. I drove to (3hrs round trip)Sweetwater in Indiana and spent a whole day trying out Acoustics of all makes and models (got a great tour of the place-all I can say is WOW-would be a great place to work)they bring anything from stock to the floor for you to try. But alas nothing there was "the one". I found a Martin that I would have bought but it had a really weird turquoise motif that I just couldn't get past. So next was Elderly Music in Lansing, MI (about the same distance from me) and after about 6 hours I narrowed it down to to the Marquis. I kept going back to the Marquis guitar (Elderly has a lot of Martins-New & Used). So I knew-if this was the one I kept comparing the others to...well, it's got to be it. So I get it home and I'm just going over it and inside is stamped: 1833-2008 175th Anniversary...Bonus. I just love the tone...That Marquis of yours is an outstanding guitar!
