Continuous operation under family management is a feat bordering on the remarkable, reflecting six generations of dedication to the guitarmaker's craft. In or out of the music industry, C. F.

The concern for producing the finest instruments possible in 1833 is especially in evidence today at Martin's expanded facility in Nazareth, Pennsylvania.

| Quality is great, well made, binding looks great, fret ends are clean. Finish is clean, pick guard was well lined up. No frills, but well made. | | Reliability:
| I keep mine in the right humidity and change the battery when it runs down and it has never failed me in about 3 years of gigging between one and two nights a week. | | Overall:
| Love it. It is the favorite of my acoustic guitars. | | Playability and Feel:
| It feels good, the smaller body size fits really well and is very playable. | | Tone:

| | | Subject: | Martin is horrible. | | Quality:
| This guitar split in half in the first 2 weeks I had it. It was repaired by a certified Martin tech and ruined, it had to be returned to Martin, they replaced the top and sent the guitar back missing parts and the tuner not working properly. It is useless to me as is Martin guitars. | | Reliability:
| It is the worst guitar ever made, very bad. | | Overall:
| Really a horrible instrument and horrible company and the support is even worse, they make you pay shipping both ways also. | | Playability and Feel:
| It plays fine when you buy it and it warps beyond belief shortly after and then it splits and it's only good for fire wood. | | Tone:
| It sounded fine at first, the internal mic is wothless and can not be notched out for feedback, just shut it off. | | Finish:
| The finish is glossy on the top and matte on the sides and back, just a way to cut costs. Martin went down hill fast, they are just producing the same kind of stuff that the overseas folks are cranking out, worse actually. | | Action:
| Horrible
Below, the only selection was "pro rock star" I'm a pro country star, not rock.....there is more than one type of music AMS, get with the program. | | Skill Level:
