Verified Purchaser zZounds has verified that this reviewer purchased this specific product from us.
Spoke with one of the Reps on the phone about this guitar. He answered all of my questions (e.g. Did I still get the Martin Warranty? Yes! Did the guitar come with a case as it's not a standard size? Yes!) and he was pleasant and informed. I decided to purchase the guitar, but was cautiously expecting to have to deal with a blemish in some form. The guitar arrived promptly and especially so since the company was dealing with the effects of Hurricane Sandy. When the Martin M36 arrived, we looked at it from top to bottom, inside and out and could not find anything wrong with it. It was gorgeous. The tone is spectacular. Playability is excellent. I am a working musician and this is my main tool. I need to have a narrow body guitar for more comfort when playing gigs for hours. This instrument is everything I expected and more. It will be with me for my life, I'm sure.
