I purchased this guitar for my daughter who has been learning guitar and wanted one of her own to play. So far the quality has been great and very durable. My daughter takes this guitar on camping trips and it has held up very well. The guitar came tuned and she's been playing since she got it. I would definitely recommend this to anyone with a little songbird.

LXK2 The Honey Badger of Travel Guitars

You've all seen the demo videos so you know this guitar sounds great but you really can't appreciate how great until you play one. I keep mine hanging on a wall surrounded by artwork in genuine solid Koa frames, my LXK2 looks right at home. I forgot to mention that it plays beautifully right out of the box, I changed the strings for some Martin Retros and it's even better. In my opinion it's the best of the travel guitars, and I love it.

Great little guitar at a bargain value. Yes it's a Martin and the build quality is top notch for what it is. This is a compromise between a regularly sized instrument so don't expect studio sound but do expect a nice sound for traveling, practice, etc.
Note that it does have a slight glue smell likely because of the laminate build process but smell doesn't detract from the sound quality.

I've owned this guitar before and have since tried out other competitors, but I always come back to the Little Martin. It's an all around great guitar. The koa wood gives such a warm tone and the ease of play is phenomenal. If I had to choose one guitar for the rest of my life, today would be the one!

Great guitar! It sounds great right out of the box. The case is a really nice soft case. The case does have padding. It is not one of those cheap ones. Great travel guitar. I use mine for camping.

I bought this as a birthday gift to complement my girlfriend’s Martin LX1 and she LOVED it! I hung both guitars on the wall and wrapped the wall; she never expected to see that! She took it down and immediately started playing it and it sounded awesome, warm, and like a guitar bigger than it is. If you’re looking for a gift or something amazing in a smaller package this is it. Thank you American Musical for helping me pull this all together!

This guitar is phenomenal, but even more phenomenal is the service that AMS continually provides their customers. It seems like most businesses just really put forth little to no effort these days. So refreshing to know there are companies that actually do it right! This little baby was a surprise Christmas present for my 18 year old. She's away at college, and the size is so perfect for the dorm room and beyond. Such an amazing sound, and the finish is gorgeous. Love, love, love it!

This is a great little guitar. First travel guitar I’ve tried that has actually sounded good and felt good to the touch. Sweet little neck it’s strong and sturdy. I would recommend this for ukulele players that wanna branch out to guitar or I guitar to take on the go with taking up all the storage room in your vehicle when traveling.

I had done a lot of research on these little Martin guitars before I finally bought one. I needed something I can take around with me and this was definitely the perfect solution. Not only that but it sounds great! After trying the solid top and this one at a local shop I decided to go with this one for it's warmer sound. It really is an amazing guitar for a very good price. I can't seem to put it down. It's incredibly fun to play this one too! It also comes with a really good gig bag so no need to worry about your guitar getting damaged. The bag is padded very well. I'm glad I got this little Martin. I defiently do not regret my purchase.

I love this guitar so much! I've owned average sized acoustic guitars all my life, and found it more difficult to learn/write songs because I have smaller hands. I always loved ed sheeran's guitar- and I was so excited to find that I could purchase this in monthly payments! What a deal! The sound is quite bold for an acoustic this size so it's perfect for busking, it's comfortable enough to wear around the house and not worry about banging it on stuff, and I finally don't have to strain my hands every time I want to play. Woo hoo!! I was deciding between the acoustic and electric acoustic little martin, and heart the electric acoustic sounds more tinny (as expected), so I went with this. Best decision!!

If you’re in the market for a mini guitar, this is the one. I have a Baby Taylor BT2, Martin LX1E and this guitar sounds and plays the best. I was skeptical about the HPL top but not anymore. Good projection and clarity. Fun to play. I recommend changing the factory strings to Elixir lights and sanding down the saddle.

Product Review
First the one negative. Strings too high. Now, the good...
Beautiful composite looks. Sound, even with factory strings (dull, and dirty, perhaps used, didn't make a difference--this guitar sounds wonderful for the size. I have six others, more expensive, and one parlor Peavey Composer (with two sound holes), and this Martin blows her out of the water. Once I get her setup and change strings to lights, I know I will even love her more! This is not just for kids, and I don't understand why it is marketed as such. This guitar has a full, albeit, lower sound, but it is really meant for a practice guitar anyway.
You can't go wrong with this purchase. I took advantage of the 8-pay option, and I am thankful to AMS for throwing that my way, even with my credit!
I love this guitar! The tone and sustain and full-bodied chord sounds are amazing for a little shrimp as this. Nice gig bag too!

This little guitar is great. It is so comfortable to play and hold. The sound is great but obviously not as loud as a full sized guitar. It was set up perfectly right out of the box. The action is very low making the transition from playing an electric very easy. The koa finish is beautiful and doesn't show fingerprints. My guitar teacher played it and loved it. The gig bag it came with is really nice and heavily padded.

Nice tonal quality and volume for a 3/4 size instrument. Great action with the strings it came with. Stays in tune without tweaking after mandatory string stretch in a day or two. A tad brighter than the spruce top but that's fine with me. Can't comment on durability yet but would buy it again.

This will be my 10 year old son's big Christmas present. It arrived quickly, and tuned right up. The frets are clean and the action quite good. It sounds much bigger than it's 3/4 size. Plays like a full size guitar. Looks great, plays great!
