    Yeah, this line of guitars is pretty interesting.  Martin has been experimenting with a few untraditional materials like this HPL and Richlite bridges and fingerboards.

    Good information video! My shop includes super glue and duct tape. And a hammer when that doesn’t work! Guitar sounds amazing!

    Hi, I have repaired some Martins where the bridge and fingerboard are not even timber.

    Nice save of the little Martin.  It sounds great in your hands.   Good video and info.  People used to say regarding guitars, "If it ain't wood, it ain't good."

    I think the HPL material Martins have gone some distance in disproving that.    They sound good.
