I'm just going to leave this here, along with a few quotes from the seller.
"I'm just the type of person that always has to customize things and this production came out of that"
" Most stock guitars I've found have thicker than necessary soundboards that don't resonate as well as if it were thinner, so I thinned the top so that the guitar could respond and resonate better with a lighter softer touch"
" The neck was also thinned down a bit to make it more easier to play, and the fretboard slightly scalloped ( not yngwie malmsteen type scallop as you can tell) giving every note more air/openness and better control over bending and vibrato"
"So if you are crazy left brained perfectionistic about things please go buy yourself a stock whatever"
This custom Martin was listed at $1999 U.S. but see now that the listing has ended.
Did it sell?

Highly "customized" Martin D-16GT makes me feel more than a little blue.
