Martin LXM Little Martin Acoustic Guitar (with Gig Bag) Reviews
10 out of 10
"A small"
Feature:
The gig bag is astoundingly beautiful and well made!
Quality:
Yes, its high pressure laminate, not real wood, and yes, it was made in Mexico, not Nazareth, but for well under $300. the quality, workmanship and finish are very, very Martin-like.
Value:
Do you want a sweet sounding little practice guitar that you can grab and play any time the spirit moves you? This has to be the best value around.
Desirability:
This rating is a little low only because the small size does look like a student guitar, and may be a tad wimpish for public performance, but that's not why you buy it, is it?
Sound:
Although the sound is not quite as full as a full size Martin, it is certainly on a par with many other full size accoustics, and it is "Martin sweet".
Support:
I have never had to avail myself of Martin support, but I will take the word of friends who have and rate it highly, as they do.
Overall:
I think I will probably purchase a full size Martin as soon as I can afford it, but for the immediate purpose of playing myself back into shape, I think the Little Martin will do just fine.

"It's Not The Size That Matters, It's What You Do With It."
Feature:
Great Gig Bag!! Plus, although there's no pick guard, the HPL/all plastic made real sense for me because I'll have this thing on a boat, and near water all the time. Humidity would kill any other guitar. The size is great for taking on trips.
Quality:
so far, so good. People knock this because it's plastic and made in Mexico. I've never seen inferior work from Mexico, and this product, while light, is beatiful and feels solid. The tone, while not loud, is beautiful and rich for a baby axe.
Value:
Besides the neat "pick up and go" compact features, it's going to be better for my kids to learn on than my full-size Sigma d-3.
Desirability:
Can't beat it as a small, travel guitar that will take the humidity, temperature changes and won't cause people to laugh at you.
Sound:
I agree with the prior reviews on the mellow, rich sound compared to Martin's backpacker and the Baby Taylor. Also a better bass sound than the Ibanez Daytripper. The difference in tone was immediately apparent in the store. My model is all plastic HPL, and while my Sigma d-3 sounds much fuller, I don't believe one can get a better travel axe than this one -- period. I wish I could have heard the sound difference (if any) of the LX model.
Ease of Use:
Excellent tone (and holds tune) all up the fret, with no distortion anywhere. Really easy action if used with the recommended strings.
Support:
Not needed yet.
Overall:
I'd give it a 10, but I would trade it in for the model with the electric pick-up. Otherwise, I'd make the same choice all over again.
