Martin DXM Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar Reviews

81 People rated this product :
           9 out of 10
           10 out of 10
"Do yourself a favor and get this one for a beginner or as a second/backup."
Feature:
I bought mine new but damaged so I didn't even get a case with it.

Quality:
Even though its primarily made of laminates, they are quality high-pressure laminates that look great and sound wonderful. The only drawback to the looks is the back of the neck. Maybe some dark stain?

Value:
At the going rate of $449, it would be hard to find a better deal on a new guitar.

Desirability:
This is a pretty standard looking axe i.e. its not sexy like my Taylor 714CE but, hey, the Taylor sells for 5 times the price!

Sound:
Great bass and highs but a little flat in the mids. Overall tone is well above average

Support:
Have never dealt with Martin but one of our band members has a 70's D35 which he had the action reset on. Martin did a great job quickly and at a reasonable price.

Overall:
I really like this guitar since its such a good deal for the price. If I like a guitar, I'll have it for a long time. I bought this one over Tacoma, Takamine, and Alvarez because it sounds better than the Tacoma and Alvarez and plays better than the Takamine. All were more expensive than the Martin.

Style of Music: Old country, rock & roll, and bluegrass with the band. Fingerstyle on my own.

"If you're getting started this is the best you can get for the $$!"
Feature:
Comes with strings....what more do you want?

Quality:
Flawless.....not the prettyest guitar made, but made well.

Value:
This is the best you can get for the money. I've gone to the store 3 times with $1700 in pocket and I can't replace it for that. By the time I find a guitar I like more I'm in the $2200 range.

Desirability:
Like I said it's not a pretty guitar, but I makes a beautiful sound.

Sound:
Sounds very good for the money. Dont let the HPL fool you.

Support:
Dont really know, haven't needed it. Good website though.

Overall:
I only wish it had a pickup. I'm thinking about having one installed.
