I agree that the HD35 is probably the next best thing....they sound great.

what current guitar is it the most similar to? bracing, wood, sound wise.

logic would say his old HD-28V, but ive never played or seen a DM3MD in person, nor am i logical.

kanter has the specs you want....he sent them to me, too...

Yea, that would suck if you had a pimp ass martin with dave's name on it, i see what you mean

Honsestly, if you are serious musician, having someone's name on it as hated and loved as Dave is, well it's tacky in my opinion.

Better still, buy Martin with no name on it and play well, make 4 track demo, get picked up to play college frat parties, then clubs, release Platinum disc, follow up with more Gold discs and then play areans and amptheaters and Martin will put YOUR name on the guitar.

Yeah...forgot to get the specs when I went home for lunch. I'll get em up later tonight when I'm back home...won't be till about 11pm EST though.

These are specs received directly from Martin and that weren't ever put online and have a few extra things in it that aren't on normal spec pages. T714, if you still have em, please post them so people can see em sooner. Thanks!
