I bought this so I could have a fun to play, well built, travel guitar. It’s lovely. A pleasure to play despite it's small stature. Plays nice out right out of the box. Stretched the strings, tuned, and started playing. Fret ends feel great. As with all Martins, the action could be a smidgen lower. Overall, excellent bang for your buck.
