I want to buy a kit....

Hi John
I have just about completed my first guitar – a Stewmac 000 and I am delighted with it. All thanks to you and your forum and videos. I have made loads of mistakes, but have learned from all of them.
Now, my ‘playing’ guitar is a Martin HD28V which I love the sound of, but hate the fixed saddle bridge and modified V neck – so I was thinking of selling it and making something similar.
What I am looking for in a kit is a Martin Dread with forward shifted bracing, ebony fretboard with the slots pre-cut, a good quality soundboard with the rosette rings pre cut though not fitted. Back and front pre joined and a dovetail pre (rough)shaped mahogany neck.
I am slightly wary of Martin Kits as I am told they use reject wood from the factory for them.
Can you help. Any idea of cost and shipping to the UK?
Thanks
Steve
