Thanks for the nice comments guys. I finally got my Martini done today except for the final action adjustment, which is a little high right now. I do have lots of saddle to work with. The volume and intonation are as perfect as one would expect from a high end guitar. This is a rather basic looking guitar as far as bling appeal goes but it is a pretty faithful replica of the original Martin OM seies, including the unadorned headstock. That's the way my "customer" wants it.

Here's a video from this mornings jam in Anola using a cheapie digi-cam. I'm really pleased with the clarity, tone and volume of this guitar. It can easily keep up with the D-28s & D-41s around here. Christmas is coming and I'll try to get a video of me playing my Dobro and my son on one of the KMG guitars at that time.

Beautiful gloss finish, excellent choice in tuning machines, and it sounds damn fine to boot!
