| Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? |
| It's a Martin. I expect it'll be a tank just like my D28. |

| How has it stood up over time? |
| It's a Martin. |
| Overall |
| Your general opinion of this product. |
| Just what I expected it to be. |
| Playability and Feel |
| How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? |
| See action. |
| Tone |
| Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? |
| See sound. |
| Finish |
| How did the stain or paint job look? |
| Considering I got this as a "scratch & dent", for a very nice discount, the finish is almost perfect. Had one small area on the upper edge right below the soundhole with a slightly rough feel, but I can't find any "scratch & dent" on it. Love the satin finish mahogany. And....that heavenly SMELL! |
| Action |
| How was the action out of the box? |
| Action is almost too easy. But then, I'm used to the firm, tight feel of the D28 with medium strings. I'm going to give myself a couple of months before I start messing with the action. I bought this one to have an Easy guitar to play in my old age; for fingerpicking and string bending. It's definitely easy with little buzz unless I strum pretty hard like I'm used to doing. |
