Product Review
It's been a lifelong dream of mine to own a Martin guitar. I did a tremendous amount of research and everything I read pointed me in the direction of the M36. I am completely blown away by this guitar. The tone is absolutely incredible. It's balanced and focused. The guitar is so responsive to the lightest touch. It just begs to be played. As a bonus, this model became available during a scratch and dent sale. I have inspected every square inch of this guitar and can't find a scratch or dent. The fit and finish is flawless and it's set up and intonated perfectly. The only thing I could figure was that it has been played and was maybe a customer return but I can't for the life of me imagine why anyone would have returned this gem. If you want a guitar that is versatile and sounds great fingerpicked or strummed, you won't be disappointed with the M36. I can't believe there aren't more of them out there.

Best Martin I've Played

Product Review
This guitar was kind of an afterthought for me, I was ready to go with the Clapton or JM. I saw some reviews on YouTube and decided to give it a try. Wow. Wow. Wow. The instrument is extremely well balanced tonally. Very loud for such a thin-bodied guitar. I installed a Martin 24CTGM2 Thinline Gold Plus pickup and it's incredible. Very true representation of the guitar when amplified. The neck is very comfortable and easy to play. I changed out the tuners (my only gripe, I hate Grovers) with some Gotoh 21:1's and it's perfect. I've tried several strings, usually an Elixir 80/20 Nanoweb guy, but the Martin Lifespan SP's really make the guitar sing. Try this guitar, you won't regret it!!

Best Guitar I've ever played...

Product Review
I've owned Martins, Taylors, Fenders, Takamines, Blueridges and many other kinds of guitars. This is hands down the best guitar I've ever played. I had been saving up for an Eric Clapton or John Mayer model. I played both and just wasn't as pleased as I thought I'd be. I read nothing but great reviews on this guitar. So, I ordered it blindly. Right out of the box, it sounded soooo much better than the other two and had almost all of the same appointments for over a $1000 cheaper. It's got the bass of a dreadnaught and the trebles of a 000. It's the perfect all arounder, in my opinion. You'll be happy you got this guitar!
