"BEST MARTIN FOR THE PRICE!!"
Verified Purchaser
zZounds has verified that this reviewer purchased this specific product from us.
I have been playing guitar for over 40 years. I had 3 bands. now I am retired & wanted a guitar to play at home. I have owned numerous guitars. This guitar is the best quality guitar for the price. Ilove the "genuine mahogany" neck. also "bone" bridge pins nut & saddle. the simple appointments on this guitar are amazing. looks vintage. and don't let the "katalox" fret board scare you. it's mexican ebony wood;very quality & very smooth. Martin went above with this guitar. what you get is a Martin D-18 authentic for a HD-28 price. this will be the last guitar I own. If it was stolen or borken I would get another if they are available. I only buy Martin.
Musical Background:
guitar & piano; over 40 years
Musical Style:
I had 3 bands; last band was a semi-pro Beatles Cover Band. I only play Beatles.
