Reimagined; Modern Deluxe: Authentic: ?
Please preserve us all from such marketing bollocks
How would you rather a maker differentiates between lines with different features...colour coding?
I remember when you were all about your Les Paul and your JCM800.
Aging gracefully is a terrible waste!

Expect a NGD thread on Wednesday.
There's one out of stock in GV.
Martins - more emphasis on sounding woody/darker/warmer & more traditional sounding.
But these are generalisations and things do vary from guitar to guitar.
What are you after Drew?
IMO, if you're looking for a Martin voiced guitar I'd recommend having a look at Furch. They make left handed guitars, but you might have order one.
Check this video out, a Martin v Furch one

imho the Martin thing is as much about a deeper/stronger fundamental as it is about warmer/less bright - although there are many folk more familiar with them than me.
I'm also a total sucker for the iconic look of a J45 so I'll say try those too :-)
I have one of the new Reimagined HD28s. It's flawless and the aged toner looked a bit plain yellow when I bought it in November last year but with time hanging on the wall the wood is aging and grain showing through nicely now and it doesn't look so new, this will only get better as the years roll by.
Tone wise I find the forward shifted bracing added some extra high end zing when new but that's starting to even out a bit and the sound become more balanced with time, especially with D'addario EJ17 strings fitted (I previously used Exilir nano coated)
The 1 3/4 nut width took a little time to adjust to from a previous D28 1 11/16ths but I don't notice it now.
I love Martin Guitars!
