My first Martin was over 45 years ago. Only thing that stuck with me was the tone. I first saw , I knew that this is the one I waited for.. Plays close to an electric guitar. Only Martin has a sound all its own. Like the mustang gt.mach1.. it’s also fun to play by the way it handles and fits on your lap..Hope this helps .
