It's a beautiful all solid wood American-made guitar I've only had it for 3 months now and I pick it up every day just smell when the case comes open really just brings to life and then you strum it and the room lights up with sound

The feel and sound of this guitar far exceeds any guitar I've ever owned. Plus it has such a beautiful finish. I love the matte sides and back.

First - AMS is great. Another flawless transaction. 24 hour delivery to MA. I love this guitar! Just what I was looking for - a voice a bit less bassy than my 1987 D28, but with more meat on the bones than my Taylor. Very versatile for fingerstyle, flatpicking and strumming. Nice projection, resonance and sustain. Excellent playability. Nice sounding electronics. Beautiful craftsmanship. No fancy appointments or finish, but that is why it isn't $3500. Still, a very attractive guitar. I can't put it down! This one's a keeper!

Your general opinion of this product.
You notice the quality of the instrument as soon as you see it and start playing it.
Best made guitar that I personally have played. I can see this guitar being very dependable.
The guitar feels fast to me. Neck has satin finish that aides in playability. The electronics onboard are top-notch and very easy to use. I can explain enough on the quality of this Martin.
The tone is broad with a smooth sounding middle but with perfect pitch on the highs and lows. This guitar sounds amazing unplugged or plugged in!
Action was perfect straight out of the box. No adjustments needed yet.
Finish was polished but with satin finishes on side and back. Immaculate finish!
I have had no complaints yet. Only had it for a week so far but I can't imagine anything going wrong with it.

Great guitar for this price
By: Brian from Irvine, CA

I bought a Dent & Scratch GPCPA4.
When I got it, condition is very nice. I found a light scratch at the back of the guitar no one recognize. I saved $300 and happy with it.
never had a problem
Your general opinion of this product.
It is much more than I expected.
Neck is little bit thicker than I thought. Fast.
Bright tone. Sounds like Tayor but has more middle tone. So I use Phosphor Bronze strings.
I expected lighter color.
But still beautiful.
Nice action, no Buzz.

Awesome Guitar
By: Jeb Stewart from Murfreesboro Tn.

Yes,very.And after the tuning factor,G string only...what else could I say.I have never had a guitar arrive tuned so near perfect after being shipped.Great set up guys.
It will.....
Your general opinion of this product.
I had a 514 CE Taylor that was involved in a Mis-hap and I replaced it with this.No regrets...
Fast,I put some finger ease on it so I could fly.I am not used to the strings.I play elixirs but I will use Life Span from now on with this guitar.
Beautiful tone,the pickups are mellow until attacked and they respond accordingly.
Perfect
Perfect after a 3 day trip in the cold.Neck feels great...I tuned the G string from sharp to perfect...

Best value American made guitar under $1500 or more
By: RGBGT from Celina, OH, USA
Submitted: 8/28/2011
Light, but appears and feels to be built like a rock.
Just had 2 months.
Your general opinion of this product.
Outside of the fact I'd have liked a bit more saddle to work with to lower the action over the years, I have no other squawks on the guitar. The Fishman analog system does a great job but has a bit of consistent break-up (3 different amps) with an agressive pick on the A string. May be unique to mine, don't know yet. Otherwise, Excellent!
The neck was very thin like many electrics. Has a 1 3/4 nut and I'll guess the fret radius at 14 or more. Excellent for finger picking.
The tone is great. It projects even when lightly finger picking. I knew that was true when my wife commented "it sounds wonderful but I'll bet it won't hide mistakes like your other guitar does".
Great. The gloss top was well done and the satin looks great but is barely there. May be why the sound is so open.
Right at 7 and 5 but had a bit too much relief.
