"Versatile Martin - without going into debt!"

Sound: Very good strumming guitar. Typical "MARTIN" sound. Powerful and rich. Quality: It is a Martin. Value: I bought mine used and in Perfect condition. I got a great value. I see them for around $1000, I think that is a good price for this guitar. Comes with a great case. Manufacturer Support: Never dealt with them. Overall: There aren't many guitars that compete with this guitar in this price range. It has a cutaway design, nice electronics and the Martin acoustic sound,case, all for about $1000. That is hard to duplicate.

Style of Music: blues, rockabilly.
