VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: This is a sound-machine, whether plugged or not. The scalloped hybrid system that Martin devised (and patented) make it much more delicious than just about any acoustic you're ever likely to try. The Fishman Analog does the most important thing acoustic electronics can do: it stays out of your way. Feature: The spruce has the polished and perfect look that we've come to expect. The sapele is satin, and quite lovely. Even the finish makes this guitar feel like your favorite pair of jeans. When comparing it to Martins that cost twice the price (because of the electronics), you have to ask yourself whether you want a perfect acoustic or whether you want Garageband inside your guitar. Ease of Use: This is the lightest, loudest (for its size and even compared with its bigger, non-OM brethren, the DCP4A), best-made, and most comfortable instrument in its class. No guitar is a Swiss-Army knife, but this instrument almost makes you want to remain perfectly monogamous. Quality: USA, folks. Out of the box, you can tell that someone took pride in making this little gem absolutely perfect. Value: Everytime you play this beauty, you feel like you've saved two-thousand dollars. There are few guitars with this kind of value (Gibson 50s tribute Les Paul, the new Epiphone Masterbilt 500 [after an action adjustment]). Very few guitars come close in value. Manufacturer Support: I've dealt with Martin for other priceless gems (not for this one). Martin is an A+ company. The Wow Factor: It's beautiful; it's lightweight; it's elegant. That said, it is quite unadorned, but I personally appreciate that look. Overall: If I were in the proverbial burning house, and I could only take one instrument, this perfect OM woud be the one.

Overall: I'm in the Navy, and I decided to try the pay as you pay plan. I got my shiny new Martin, which I've dreamed of owning my whole life... It came to my ship in perfect condition, and plays like a dream! It's like no other guitar that I've ever owned! Thank you guys for giving me a way to make it happen so that I can make it through deployment by songwriting :)

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!

2. We guarantee the lowest price

If we don't already have the lowest price, just send us a link to any legitimate competitor's offer, and we'll beat their price as long as we're not losing money on the deal.

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.

3. You'll get your gear fast

Because we have two well-situated warehouses--one on each coast--nearly three- quarters of the US population is located within our two-day shipping zones. Plus, we keep both warehouses well stocked with all the most popular products, so you'll usually get your gear fast without having to pay more for expedited shipping.

In fact, zZounds offers free two-day delivery on many of our best-selling products!

4. We make returns super easy

You have 30 days to try your gear at home, in your practice space or studio. If you're not absolutely in love with the sound you're getting, just let us know. We'll promptly arrange for an exchange or a refund without the hassles or hidden charges you face with some of our competitors. If there's something wrong with the gear you bought from us, we'll email you an electronic return label so you can return it easily and free of charge.

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
