"Versatile Martin - without going into debt!"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
There aren't many guitars that compete with this guitar in this price range. It has a cutaway design, nice electronics and the Martin acoustic sound,case, all for about $1000. That is hard to duplicate.
Sound
Very good strumming guitar. Typical "MARTIN" sound. Powerful and rich.
Quality
It is a Martin.
Value
I bought mine used and in Perfect condition. I got a great value. I see them for around $1000, I think that is a good price for this guitar. Comes with a great case.
Manufacturer Support
Never dealt with them.

Musical Style:

blues, rockabilly.
