Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? Perfection in wood. Reliability How has it stood up over time? It's a Martin so with love and care I expect to hand this down to the next generation...or generations... Overall Your general opinion of this product. This thing is a tone monster! After pining over D-18s, D-28s and D-35s I finally bought a D-25. I love this guitar. I haven't ever been so inspired to play. I have owned a 000-18 in the past and it was very nice but not a D-28. The smooth balanced tone along with the ability to get as loud as I need to is amazing. I have been asking myself why it took so long to appreciate bluegrass and now I'm asking why I waited so long to buy a D-28. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? It's a little heavier that the D-18 and D-35 I was looking at but it is very comfortable to play with a strap for hours. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? Very balanced with perhaps a little bias toward the bottom. I would say more warm than dark. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? flawless...just flawless..... Action How was the action out of the box? Very playable. I may try to shave a little off the action in the next month or two but I want to spend time getting to really know this guitar just as it is before I decide to do anything.
My first guitar.
