"Total Stisfaction.I LOve my Martin!!"

Feature:
Guitar came with a beatiful hardshell case. The woods used in this guitar are excellent throughout. Mahogany back & sides and a Spruce top.

Quality:
Fit and finish are excellent.I could find no flaws.

Value:
Absolutely! In fact, in my opinon it's worth more. I would have paid more if I had to.

Desirability:
The beauty of the D16GT is in it's simplicity. Nothing fancy or pretentious. The Gloss Top & Matte finish sies combo really works for me. It is beautiful just to look at.

Sound:
Beautiful,deep,rich low tones & crisp clear highs.

Overall:
I will probably play this Guitar for life. I can not see a reason to ever buy another guitar.

"D16GT... Solid wood, super value"

Feature:
Very nice looking guitar. And super workmanship. I wish it had a little "dressier fretboard. I do not find the micarta fretboard to have "ANY" negative effect on the sound or playability as some would lead you to believe.

Quality:
I found absolutely No quality issues. In fit or finish. I found this somewhat unusual since every other guitar I own as well as some other Martins I've played, had some blims.

Value:
I am convinced this is the best solid wood buy out there right now for under $1000.

Desirability:
This guitar is made for playing not dating.

Sound:
Very good sound. Bright highs and resonate lows. I flatpick bluegrass and country and love the sound. The only reason I don't rate it 10 is there are no 10's.

Support:
I've had to call once for a service related question and that experience was very positive and followed up via email. Again there are no 10's.

Overall:
I really don't regret buying this instrument and I have other guitars that don't get played much anymore because I own the D16GT. It is my intention to keep this guitar.
