<DIV>>>>BTW, the neck also does not have an adjustable truss rod which
Martins to=<BR>day have. Knock on wood -- I've never had any neck warping
problems and t=<BR>he action is still great!<<<</DIV>

<DIV>Greg, </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have exactly the same problem, and I haven't fixed it yet. I have a 1970
D-18, and the pick guard has seperated from the body of the guitar, but I don't
have any cracks, except for a slight one from the bridge to the sound
hole.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Guitar sounds better than ever, but the action rose...I like to use it as a
slide guitar now, but I don't play it very often...</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I also have a D-42 and a D-28...and I tend to use them now...</DIV>
