"WORTH ITS WEIGHT IN GOLD - FANTASTIC GUITAR FOR AN UNBELIEVABLE PRICE!"
This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful.
Keeping this forever ... I also play a 12 string Yamaha - so, these two guitars are keepers for life! I chose this because it is a 'Martin' . meets my musical needs .. if lost or stolen I'd replace w. same or maybe w. the Dreadnaught DC 1E - I love the feel, the sound, the look, the beauty, the ease of playing. There is nothing I dislike about this guitar.
Sound
l...ove this guitar! best value ever! sounds/plays great! I fingerpick and strum - so easy, fun w. this guitar. Looks like a work of art, worth 10 x what the cost is for a Martin. I also play a 12-string Yamaha and I'm so happy I picked up THIS Martin .. wow! in all areas.
Features
Acoustic/Electric w. built-in tuner ... not 'fancy' but beautifully made, enjoyable to play, gorgeous to look at :) I actually like it better 'not plugged in' but either way, a great deal, an awesome guitar!
Ease of Use
Use a capo or note ... use a pick or fingerpick ... strum ... easy, sounds great, feels 'right' and there is no 'learning curve' - excellent playability!
Quality
Well made - finish and fit are perfect. Reliable, dependable, sturdy and a guitar to 'take on the road' - there are no minus' to this guitar . Well worth the money, to say the least. Will 'open up' after awhile for an even richer sound.
Value
WOW! ... you cannot get anything better for this price ... thought… read more it would cost 5 x as much! LOVE IT and the price cannot be beat!
Manufacturer Support
Martin is the best - around 'forever' - in the family and made in the USA... handmade, gorgeous guitar, friendly and 'know everything' people. Warranty is for life!
The Wow Factor
Looks like a 'work of art' - the wood, color, shape, style = outstanding ... def. a guitar you will lust after. Also, sounds awesome!!!
