Martin LXM Little Martin Acoustic Guitar with Gig Bag

Martin is proud to introduce the new Little Martin. Like its predecessors, this latest addition to the Martin line is built with the same Martin quality craftsmanship, with an emphasis on producing great sound in a smaller guitar. The Little Martin is durable and easy to play. It is the perfect "pick up and play" guitar that lets you jam at home or on the road and is the perfect choice for students. Your Little Martin comes with a padded gig bag made of a tough ballistic cloth exterior, plush interior, backpack straps and a front zipper compartment.

For well over a century and a half, the Martin Guitar Company has been continuously producing acoustic instruments that are acknowledged to be the finest in the world.

The Martin Guitar Company has, through the years, managed to survive with each succeeding generation from C. F. Martin, Sr.'s Stauffer influenced creations of the 1830s to recent developments introduced by C. F. Martin IV. 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. Martin has few rivals for sheer staying power.

Throughout its colorful history, the company has adapted successfully to continual changes in product design, distribution systems, and manufacturing methods. In spite of the many changes, C. F. Martin has never veered away from its initial commitment to quality. The concern for producing the finest instruments possible in 1833 is especially in evidence today at Martin's expanded facility in Nazareth, Pennsylvania.

Subject:Great little guitar.
Quality: Feels very, very solid... especially considering the nice price
Sound: Sounds big and full... I read a review where some guy was comparing the sound to his 4K custom acoustic. It's not that. It's a nice sounding guitar. The fact you can lay on the beach, plane, back yard etc... and not worry about someone sitting on it or something makes it nicer. It's warm and I like the stock strings... I purchased a backup set (Martin M550) also from AMS
Reliability: Feels solid... my Baby Taylor top split from the sides... the beveled edge on this makes that seem unlikely. Neck feels really meaty and solid. It does stay in tune very well.
Overall: Very nice. I travel a lot and this is perfect, from CT to FL humidity, planes, you name it - this guitar is ready. Looks professional and feels much more substantial than the Baby Taylor
Playability and Feel: Plays very well. Chords sound nice. It's not a Jackson Dinky but you can play relatively quickly with lot's of clarity and definition.
Tone: Warm, full, mellow, and big considering it's size
Finish: Beautiful. It would be nice to have real wood all the way around but this may handle temp and humidity better. It looks beautiful, and doesn't look like a toy at all.
Action: The action was nice straight from AMS... all I had to do was tune it up.
