| Quality |
| Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? |
| USA, folks. Out of the box, you can tell that someone took pride in making this little gem absolutely perfect. |
| Reliability |
| How has it stood up over time? |
| This is a Martin. I expect it to outlive my great-grandchildren, and to sound better when they give it to their great-grandchildren than it does now (and now it's unbeatable). |
| Overall |
| Your general opinion of this product. |
| This is the lightest, loudest (for its size and even compared with its bigger, non-OM brethren, te DCP4A), best-made, and most comfortable instrument in its class. No guitar is a Swiss-Army knife, but this instrument almost makes you want to remain perfectly monogamous. |
| Playability and Feel |
| How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? |
| Without parallel. The Analog F1 stays almost completely out of the way. When comparing it to Martins that cost twice the price (because of the electronics), you have to ask yourself whether you want a perfect acoustic or whether you want Garageband inside your guitar. A TC Electronics "Hall of Fame" reverb pedal (which is perfect for both electric and acoustic) make this a powerhouse for a thousand dollars less than the aforementioned "Garageband" Martins. |
| Tone |
| Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? |
| A touch brighter than the DCP4A, but without losing the smoothness and the bass that make this what I consider to be the consummate Martin player. |
| Finish |
| How did the stain or paint job look? |
| The spruce has the polished and perfect look that we've come to expect. The sapele is satin, and quite lovely. Even the finish makes this guitar feel like your favorite pair of jeans. |
| Action |
| How was the action out of the box? |
| Unbeatable action. The action on this little bombshell of a guitar has the same level of forgiveness as my Les Paul. |
