I’d disagree with him, in a lively way. If you looking for a Martin sound then that is what you are looking for. However, there are other traditions and styles Ah in are superb in their own right.
Even with Martin style guitars, the best I have played in the last few years is from Steve Agnew - to my ears every bit as good as Ralph or, say, Santa Cruz.
Many US luthiers seem to be doing the same, looking for a different sound to Martin. Gross man seems to see that sound as the pinnacle of modern guitar making.
I would beg to differ and I am a happy Martin owner!

Despite having his own Martin signature model, the last time I saw Stefan he was still playing his Franklin OM.

No mon By the way if "Andyspeak" is the result of his phone's text predictor then someone should challenge the use of the term "Smartphone" under the Trade Descriptions Act.
