DK2M = http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/p...tar?sku=520321
DK2 -= http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/p...tar?sku=520318
Yes MSRP is alot higher but the real price is a lot less. The DK2M can be had at GC for even less than that.
Besides that nobody is paying MSRP for anything any more.

Here is one of the reasons the MM D2 is much less expensive.
Nato wood is a collective name for wood from Mora-trees. The best-known species are Mora excelsa (Mora) and Mora gonggrijpii (Morabukea), with the latter contributing less (occurring in a smaller area).
The wood may vary in appearance, with reddish brown being the dominant color, but in varying shades and often with darker or lighter streaks. The wood is dense and not particularly pleasant; it is not very easy to dry or to work. However, the wood is available in large dimensions and is well above average in properties such as resistance to wear, strength and durability. It finishes well. It is used for heavy construction, industrial flooring, railroad ties, etc. Smaller billets are used to build acoustic and electric guitars.
Because of its availability and price, many Chinese and Korean imported guitars use nato in their inexpensive guitars. BC Rich guitars, Eastwood guitars, and others manufacturers often refer to nato as "eastern mahogany" due to the use of the more expensive mahogany wood in higher grade instruments.
MSRP is a number contrived to give the consumer the feeling of a discount when purchasing at retail.
If this had an alder or ash body the MSRP would be $300.00 more pushing it too close to the MM Dominion and killing the demographic selling point.
