Feature:
Beautiful hardshell case,

Quality:
the best acoustic I have ever played

Value:
Others at 2 or 3 x the price for less sound.

Sound:
some nice 10 gague strings and you are in business.

Ease of Use:
quick action, sweet sound,

Support:
have not had to call, NO problems

Overall:
there is no other

Feature:
The Mahogony back and sides make this guitar a permanent fixture in any household.

Quality:
You don't have to worry about this guitar breaking. Everything is sealed and crafted perfectly. Wheather you are on the road or at home the guitar will last a lifetime.

Value:
I would have paid for a $3,000 guitar until i heard the sound of this.

Desirability:
This guitar just seems to call you. You could be looking at a $3,000 Taylor, and out of the corner of your eye you can look at Martin DM and go bye it immediatly.

Sound:
The sound of this guitar is second to none. It bellows deep, rich sounds with every chord or note. With age the guitar sounds even better

Ease of Use:
You can either be an expert looking for more sound or a begginer looking for a guitar to last a lifetime.

Support:
the company is exteremly nice and will do their best to find a solution to your problem.

Overall:
i will be happy with this for the rest of my life because the guitar gets better sounding and looking with age.

Quality:
Would have expected nothing less and once again Martin proved them selfs with the DM series. Don't let the price fool you. It is a great guitar.

Value:
For the money, you want regret it. If you are just beginning to play or if you have been at it for years, the DM series is an all around great guitar for every level of player.

Sound:
The Martin DM series is the best guitar I have own (and I have several). The quality of the sound is second to none and very easy to play. I have been playing guitar for several years now and have owned more than 24 acoustic guitars during that time. Martin really came through with the DM. You just can't go wrong with this investment.

Ease of Use:
Very fun and easy to play. I had a pick-up installed under the saddle about 1 year ago, it sounds as good through an amp as it does unplugged.

Overall:
It will many years before I will part with my Martin DM. If fact only when I close my eyes for the last time will I ever depart from owning it. It will be passed on to my son at that point.

Feature:
The case is great! It is solid and the guitar floats into with an almost airtight fit.

Quality:
I can't say enough good things about my DM. I am not going to subject it to adverse conditions just to see if it will stand up. I am sure that this one will last me until I pass it on to my son who plays also.

Value:
well worth the price

Desirability:
It is not as pretty as a D-35. But when you pick it up and put fingers to wood it becomes a thing of beauty.

Sound:
Brite! crisp highs, all strings equally resonate, intonations are accurate at every fret. tuning can be changed and returned with ease, stays in tune without constantly having to adjust.

Support:
After I purchased my DM and played it a while. I could tell that the action could be sweetened a little and my local dealer made the adjustments for me free of charge and installed a new set of strings. If it were any better it would play itself.

Overall:
You can never have enough guitars. I will own others but I will always keep this one.

Feature:
It's got all the needed stuff, and none of the fat.

Quality:
It's an American made Martin, nuff said!

Sound:
This thing sounds like the $5,000 models, or damn near.

Support:
Great company with a long history under one family.

Overall:
An American made Martin for well under a grand?? can you ask for more?

Feature:
Wish it had an ebony fretboard and a finished top, but then I'd have paid $200 more! The guitar plays and sounds wonderful as it is - laminate sides & back, rosewood fingerboard, plain top, Martin tuners.

Quality:
Quality is second-to-none. I was a bit nervous at first because it was a bit lighter than any of my previous acoustics, but this turned out to be a non-issue.

Value:
This guitar is sells for an oustanding price for the value.

Desirability:
Not the flashiest thing in the world, but then what quality acoustic really is? Its built very well, and shows it. Basically a plain-jane item that sounds killer.

Sound:
The tone and volume of this guitar is everything you'd expect from a Martin. Much, much richer and fuller than "comparable" guitars with laminate sides & back.

Support:
I have had no company contact or warranty experience with this guitar.

Overall:
I will always buy Martin acoustics, and will go with the DM again for a budget/practice model.

Feature:
Very few a plain jane, the only fancy feature is the very good quality case.

Quality:
Godd quality a well made guitar although it is very plain.

Value:
Great value for the money.

Desirability:
I love it.

Sound:
Deep, rich and very even tone with the very distinctive Martin bass punch.

Ease of Use:
Easy to play, mine came with the perfect action for both bluegrass picking and fingerstyle.

Support:
Don't know.

Overall:
A great guitar, nearly as good as my more expensive Larrivee.

Feature:
It's got a great hardshell case, thas the only important accessorie I can think of.

Quality:
There's no flaws at all on this guitar and it's manufactured very nice and smooth on the surface. The neck feels very nice in spite of the satin finsh-again I like a gloss finish better. As I mentioned before you have to be extra careful with the satin finished surface on the top of the guitar and this could be a problem if you are a heavy strummer. As I Myself plays mostly fingerstyle it's not a problem but it annoys me with the sweat marks where I'm resting my arm. This is the only flaw I've got but it's only a cosmetic issue.

Value:
The Martin DM is great value and sounds as good as the D-28 but it's not the exact same tone and if you expect that it's probably not for you

Desirability:
It looks great, however not very appealing in my opinion because of the satin finish but it's beautiful in an understated way.

Sound:
Big sound, very full and expressive. Like all Martin dreadnaughts (exept the x-series which I think is cheaply made) it's got a lot of volume maby not the loudest compared to more expensive Martins like the D-28 or similar, but thats also what the price says-you get what you pay for right!?. Like all quality guitars it suits strumming and fingerstyle equally and it has a more bright tone than the D-28, not it lacks bass but the highs are very clear and bright. Personally I like a guitar with a gloss finish so i won't the forever, not because of the sound, but you have to take a little more care of the satin finish

Support:
Haven't had any experiences.

Overall:
I dream of a guitar with a gloss finish maybe an Alhambra Dreadnaught with either solid mahogany, ovangcol or rosewood back and sides. These spanish made guitars are great value and as I live in Denmark I pay a lot of taxes when I buy a Martin guitar(about 30% more expensive than US) so you get a greater value when you buy a european manufactured instrument. How

I bought this guitar approx. two weeks ago and don't
want to put it down! This a very easy guitar to play and the tone is great.
This is my fifth guitar but my first Martin.
Just remember, like most things, you get what you pay for and DM series is no exception.
Great investment.
