Sound:
great giggin' gtr. Warm acoustic sound for recordin as well
Reliability:
Well, it's new... But I have a few Martins dating back to 1965 and they are built to last!!!
Playability and Feel:
tight without the dainty-ness of a Taylor
Tone:
Not to bright, but warm. You don't want a screaming bright acoustic it's annoying live and on tape.

Pro-Rock Star

Great Beautiful sounding guitar
Quality:
It's a Martin, but I've had the product for about 4 years and already had to get the neck refinished because the satin finish started wearing off, and the finish became... bubbly? not sure how to describe it... but it became rough and sticky...
Sound:
Tone is great! full sound with rich highs, bass is not as deep as a jumbo or a dread but that's expected from a small body concert size.
Reliability:
needed the neck refinished and the electronics reseated because the guitar started giving unbalanced tone on the strings when plugged in. I do have to mention that this was after 3 years of constant giggin 2-3 times per week.
Overall:
Great product, not too happy on the durability part of it though.
Playability and Feel:
This guitar is fast (except when the satin finish becomes sticky feel with the years), the Roland electronics are very nice.
Tone:
the tone is very rich and warm, the highs and lows balance perfectly, this has a trademark martin sound if you know what I mean.
Finish:
The semi gloss on the top was very good, the satin finish on the other hand was not as good as I expected.
Action:
action was perfect out of the box, very light no stress whatsoever on the fingers

Sound:
Good throughout the range, not as good a bass tone with a capo.
Reliability:
Don't know, it's only 6 months old
Overall:
I have several dreadnaughts so wanted something smaller and more comfortable to play. I have not been dissappointed and the playability id fantastic with the low oval and wider neck for fingerstyle. Great Martin quality at a great price.
Playability and Feel:
It is a fast guitar with a great fingerstyle neck
Tone:
Bright and rich, your typical Martin sound. Pickups work well and the Roland easy to use
Finish:
Gloss top with satin back and sides is great for me.
