"Buy it!"

Feature:
Not many features but I just wanted a simple, great sounding 12 string and that's what I got.

Quality:
Flawless finish and fit without a single blemish.

Value:
Given all the other twelves I've played, I would have expected to pay more for a guitar of this quality with the Martin guarantee and hard case.

Desirability:
Can't beat the quality. However, its a fairly plain looking guitar.

Sound:
I must have played 12 guitars before buying this one and this one blew them all away-no contest.

Support:
Haven't had to deal with Martin yet.

Overall:
Great value, no complaints!
