| My Martin has seen lots of stages in the last few years. The case got beaten badly, but the guitar sings on!I got a new, better case, and we are off for more touring.I like how easy it is to change the 9 volt battery at a show.My last acoustic was a time consuming effort to change a battery! | | Overall:
| I own this guitar and it is a very nice one, but you should take time for a sound check to use through a PA system, or you will miss out on it's best tone. You must take the time to tune the sound to each room for best tone. It sounds fantastic in the studio, and is great when you use it properly with , if you want the most from it.. Rooms change the sound every time.This is a great guitar, as good sounding as some very expensive acoustics from the competition.For under 2 grand, it is a beauty.
The Martin Co. was nice to me when I needed their help.
Great service. | | Playability and Feel:
