Sound: Well, it is a travel guitar, so I didn't expect the sound to be that great. However, when I plug into the "Mini-Q" my accustic mini-amp really brings out the sound. When unplugged - it is loud enough for me... Feature: The gig bag is awesome! I will not only store my guitar in it, but will use it everywhere I go. The "Mini-Q" is great, but if you do not plan to amplify, it really is not needed. Ease of Use: There was minimal information that came with the guitar. Pretty much "self explanitory." Quality: This Little Martin is a beast! It weighs more than my full size classical guitar. However, I would prefer it to be heavy and duarable than light and fragile. My fret bars need to be filed. they stick out too far over the fretboard (a bit uncomfortable). Also, my high "E" string is very close to the edge of the fretboard. It takes some getting use to... Value: I am very happy with the guitar. Price is an issue for me; so, I have to look for bargains/sales and I believe the Little Martin was a great bargain for what you get. Manufacturer Support: N/A The Wow Factor: This Little Martin is appealing - That's for sure! It also makes you want to take it everywhere you go. Overall: Depending on the construction of the guitar, I plan to use it daily for a long, long time... I thought the smal size would be uncomfortable/awkward - I was totally wrong! It is very comfortable and easy to play.

Sound: Sounds like a full size inexpensive guitar, and has much bedtter sound than the baby Taylor or the Fender. Feature: Comes with a nice padded gig bag with back pack style straps built in. Quality: Made of composite, should be durable and trouble free. Plus, it's a Martin! Manufacturer Support: I have been a Martin owner for 32 years, they stand behind their products. The Wow Factor: If you are a Martin fan, you have to have it. It looks just like my D-18! Overall: I bought this guitar to be a beater/travel/take to the beach guitar, because I was a little disappointed with the performance of the Backpacker. So far, I have been totally pleased with it, and would recommend it to anyone looking for a travel or practice guitar.

Sound: I played a friends several times and decided to purchase one for myself. Anyone who hasn't played one or had the pleasure of playing one they should definately find a dealer and do so.When i first played one I was amazed at the full sound that it had.The fret action is very comfortable and easy to play. Feature: Comes with a thickly padded gigbag. Quality: I wish it came with a tortoise pickguard.The Battery compartment comes loose easily and the battery slips out occasionally. Value: When you plug it into a good acoustic amp, it sounds like a full size Martin. Manufacturer Support: I phone Martin regarding a pick gusrd for this Guitar and one is not available. They were however great to talk to and answered other questions. They did not rush me off the phone but made sure they answered all my question in their entirety. The Wow Factor: You can't miss with one from Martin. Overall: This is a real keeper for the size and sound.

Overall: How did they pack all of this sound into a tiny guitar? It is better than my Taylor Baby by light years, and is great either unplugged or plugged in. The built in tuner is very convenient. I am doing a European tour in January, and I will be taking this little beauty with me. It should pose no problem on the airplane because if its size, and it won't be a burden to tote around. Nice gig bag, too. I am more than happy with my purchase, and happy that zZounds makes it so easy!

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!
