Solid, well build. We recognized the quality of a Martin guitar. Plain, but really nice looking. Just look like an expensive guitar!

This guitar inspires songs. I have honestly never played anything with such a rich tone and magical playability for a price under $1000. I bought it on a whim at a Guitar Factory in Denver; it was the best musical decision of my life. It’s a more playable guitar than a D-15 with a comparable tone.

Great for fingerpicking. Not so great for volume. This is a great stay at home workhorse.

The solid Mahogany neck is beautiful, and it had just a beautiful smell when I first bought it. The spruce top has a “hand rubbed finish” but looks almost like bare wood. I really like the rounded edges on the front of the guitar, I bet you’ve never seen another Martin like it.
