Feature:
The included gig bag is pretty nice. Otherwise, features aren't really this guitar's strong suit. It does one thing--exists as a travel guitar--very well.

Quality:
The quality is pretty good so far, but let's not kid ourselves...in terms of sound, fit, and finish, it's not an American-made Martin. With that said, it's durable as hell and can weather temperature extremes in ways that a wood-top guitar never could (I bought it for a beach camping trip).

Value:
A fairly good buy. If you just want something to practice on while you're traveling, the Washburn Rover is a better deal. This guitar is better for playing to a (small) audience or using outdoors.

Sound:
The tone is leaden, boxy, and small. In other words, it's in line with other travel guitars. Sounds better than most, though.

Ease of Use:
Easy to play out of the box, but I understand that the Little Martins are a mixed bag. Maybe I'm just lucky.

Overall:
If you keep your expectations reasonable--it's a travel guitar!--it's easy to be satisfied with this instrument. It's inexpensive, comes with a really nice bag/backpack, and will keep you in practice while you're on the road. Bonus points for the HPL construction, too. My "real" acoustic has a solid cedar top, but you can't beat this weird plasticy stuff for outdoor use.

Feature:
Pretty im pressive for what it is. Nice tuners, stays in tune, and a really nice gig bag.

Quality:
Nice quality for the money, and the purpose. You probably won't record with tis thing for a rich tone, but it stays in tune even with the most aggressive strumming.

Value:
It's great bang for the buck

Sound:
It sounds great for the size -- much better than other comparible models

Ease of Use:
Very easy to play. I find myself neglecting my much more expensive full size guitar to play this one around the house

Support:
N/A

Overall:
I highly reccomend this product to any guitar player's collection. It's really fun. After I bought it, I was like why did I just buy this thing? I should take it back, and put the money towards a more "useful" guitar. But now, i would never part with it... it is becoming one of my favorites.

Quality:
especially impressed with the quality of the composite top

Desirability:
cute and impressive for it;s size

Sound:
needed slight bridge reduction for that easy smooth Martin feel

Overall:
sound for the size. Bridge (fulgrum) had to be shaved to adjust stings height to prevent pain
