zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Best " Bang for the Buck" guitar on this planet"

Sound: I'll make this simple and consice. This guitar is without a doubt the " Bang for the Buck" you can get. Martin has finally put all the top level build quality, materials and skill in to this instrument , kept all the unecessary trim amd frills off and built a real " working Players" dream guitar. Feature: It's most useful feature is it plays and sounds like a dream and you can use it night in and night out as a working player without fear of scratching it or pampering it. It's a work tool and a really fine one. Ease of Use: came with all the care and feeding manuals, case and necessary paperwork Quality: I really don't believe that Martin could build this any better. This is an average guys chance to own true Martin quality without breaking the bank. Value: this guitar is worth ten times it's price The Wow Factor: it's simple elegance is it's beauty. Overall: It's a hand built Martin, what else needs to be said?

Style of Music: blues/country/jazz

This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful. "WORTH ITS WEIGHT IN GOLD - FANTASTIC GUITAR FOR AN UNBELIEVABLE PRICE!"

Sound: l...ove this guitar! best value ever! sounds/plays great! I fingerpick and strum - so easy, fun w. this guitar. Looks like a work of art, worth 10 x what the cost is for a Martin. I also play a 12-string Yamaha and I'm so happy I picked up THIS Martin .. wow! in all areas. Feature: Acoustic/Electric w. built-in tuner ... not 'fancy' but beautifully made, enjoyable to play, gorgeous to look at :) I actually like it better 'not plugged in' but either way, a great deal, an awesome guitar! Ease of Use: Use a capo or note ... use a pick or fingerpick ... strum ... easy, sounds great, feels 'right' and there is no 'learning curve' - excellent playability! Quality: Well made - finish and fit are perfect. Reliable, dependable, sturdy and a guitar to 'take on the road' - there are no minus' to this guitar . Well worth the money, to say the least. Will 'open up' after awhile for an even richer sound. Value: WOW! ... you cannot get anything better for this price ... thought it would cost 5 x as much! LOVE IT and the price cannot be beat! Manufacturer Support: Martin is the best - around 'forever' - in the family and made in the USA... handmade, gorgeous guitar, friendly and 'know everything' people. Warranty is for life! The Wow Factor: Looks like a 'work of art' - the wood, color, shape, style = outstanding ... def. a guitar you will lust after. Also, sounds awesome!!! Overall: Keeping this forever ... I also play a 12 string Yamaha - so, these two guitars are keepers for life! I chose this because it is a 'Martin' . meets my musical needs .. if lost or stolen I'd replace w. same or maybe w. the Dreadnaught DC 1E - I love the feel, the sound, the look, the beauty, the ease of playing. There is nothing I dislike about this guitar.

Style of Music: finger picking country, folk, blues
