Subject:
Dollar for Dollar this is quite possibly the best guitar under $1000.00
Quality:
I'd give this guitar a big thumbs up for build quality! Not one single issue, and I'm not necessarily easy on guitars. They get played hard and often!
Sound:
Has that big bottom-end that Martins are famous for. Is has opened up very nicely over the last couple of years. It projects very well (as you'd expect from a Martin) and articulates nicely up the neck.
Reliability:
I've had it for 2 years and it's help up like a champ!
Overall:
I've had it for 2 years and I absolutely love it. from Bluegrass to Praise and Worship tunes it can cover all of the bases without having to sell a kidney to afford it! An absolute workhorse of a guitar!~
Playability and Feel:
Plays great. The lower profile neck is a really nice feature.
Tone:
PURE MARTIN! Tone is on par with the high dollar Martins. It sounds the way a Martin should. Thick smooth and LOUD! These babys are cannons.
Finish:
It's a satin finish, so there isn't much to talk about.
Action:
The action was perfect right out of the box. I didn't have to adjust the neck, bridge or anything else. I just tuned it up and she's been stable ever since!
Do you own this product?:
YES! And Proud of it!

Accessories missing
Overall:
This item was shown in the catalog and on the internet as a package which included; gig bag, strap, quick release, and case humidifier. When it arrived, it was just the guitar only. I called about this and was told I had to order the accessories seperately. This resulted in my paying an additional $23.90. This doesn't seem fair to me.
Playability and Feel:
Plays well
Action:
I was pleased with the instrument, but disappointed with the missing accessories.
Skill Level:
Intermediate
