how do you like it?

I've always thought it was the best bang for the buck for beginners.

Nothing like a Martin acoustic.

I'm jealous.  Nice guitar!

Dago...hahahaha...you had me going for a moment!

Golfer: "beginners"?? lol. As someone else said, and I agree with him: "It sounds like church bells shot out of a cannon."

Being a new axe, the sound is a bit "tight", but still very rich. It'll surely open up with a little time, and lots of playing. There's an underlying bass response from the rosewood back and sides, that some say is too "bassy" for them. But I don't think it is too bassy. More like...rich. And the bass just growls and you can feel it in your chest. Yet, the trebles are not overpowered by the bass. I fingerpick and flatpick, both. This is prolly the only good acoustic I'll ever own, since I'm not a performer at all. That's why I spent a few bucks more and got something that I can pass down to my kids and grandkids. I really love this guitar. I compared many high-end guitars, and no other one, for the money (or even for twice the price), sounded as good as this one.  If you're only gonna buy one, this is THE one to buy...IMHO.

Mmmmm... Martin.


I've only played one before, but I can definately see why you'd buy one. Absolutely wonderful guitar there. Enjoy!

One more shot, and then I'll quit. This one shows the silking a little better. Overall, it's a rather plain looking guitar, but I wanted one that would turn heads because of the way it sounds, not just because of its looks.
