A very comfortable somewhat (sightly) smaller body and my Martin Concert Cutaway (GPCPA4)... buy very Big on sound. This guitar projects with a sort of "mellow" clarity and a beautiful tone. Not too bassy... because of the smaller body it is not overbearing on the bass end... which I like. I bought this because I really wanted a pure acoustic without any electronics at all. I prefer to mic my guitar. I am very glad I made this purchase. There is not lot of "bling" on this guitar - but in its simplicity it is quite beautiful... and hey, it's a Martin. And, it's affordable (thanks to zZounds payment plan!) I am a singer/songwriter and this guitar has a crystal clear sound with a nice "punch" to it. I am a finger-style player and the neck and action play almost perfectly right out of the box. (I have never bought a guitar that didn't need some kind of neck adjustment) - I tune down a 1/2 step so I put 13-56 Martin strings on it... WOW - what a beautiful "chimey bell" tone it has!!! (I will be adjusting the neck only because I prefer a slightly higher action than what it is currently at... and this is not a complaint... it's just preference) Martin did a fantastic job on this guitar. Comes with a real nice solid case... oh... and it smells wonderful. p.s... I ordered it on a Friday and received it by noon on the following Tuesday - WOW... thanks Zounds...
