9 out of 10
Quality:
It's made very well. The spruce top clean and smooth..very pretty wood. It also smells wonderful.
Value:
I shopped around and tried a dozen or so guitars...Nothing matched the Martin sound and projection. I don't think you'll find a better sounding guitar for the price.
Desirability:
Everyone says to play as many guitars as possible and choose the one that says, "Take me home." The DX1 is not the prettiest guitar around. I tell my friends it is plain looking but sings beautifully. It has no embellishments. I'm not crazy about the color of the laminate sides and back, they're okay, but I love the smoothness of the spruce top as it's unvarnished and soft as a woman's thigh.
Sound:
The DX1 has rich high ends and deep, soulful resonance. It really projects. I love it...It sings so beautifully, it makes me want to see what it's big brothers will do.
Overall:
I'll own this guitar forever. Knowing how this one sounds I will definitely check into a D28 down the road. If it offers a much superior sound and I feel it's worth the $$$. In the meantime, this one sounds just fine.

Feature:
Mine didn't come with a bag, but I would have wanted a hard case anyway. It's too nice to leave in a bag.
Quality:
Just beautiful. Fit and finish is perfect.
Value:
For the price, nothing comes close.
Desirability:
The one complaint I hear is that it's plain looking. I wanted a guitar that looked like a guitar, I have no interest in Doves on my pick guard. It's a very pretty guitar
Sound:
I have been playing mine for a year now and it sounds amazing. No one believes the back and sides are laminate. I have played many different acoustic guitars and always love coming back to the Martin. Everyone wants to give it a play, just sounds so amazing.
Ease of Use:
I love it, low action, easy to play. And because it sounds so nice, it's a very forgiving guitar for the newer players.
Support:
I asked about strings when I first got it, they mailed me a few different types to try.
Overall:
I don't plan on getting another acoustic like this for a long time. It just sounds so nice, it's not worth the extra money.
