I've been hooked on the Martin sound now for 35 years or so. I don't play Dreads any more & have moved to smaller-sized ones for comfort. I have several OM-sized models that play most often. Although, I still get plenty of whomp from my '90 J-65M. It's a model that was made for a few years ('86-'92). Maple is Martin's best kept secret...IMO!
