"Buy it!"
Great value, no complaints!
Sound
I must have played 12 guitars before buying this one and this one blew them all away-no contest.
Features
Not many features but I just wanted a simple, great sounding 12 string and that's what I got.
Quality
Flawless finish and fit without a single blemish.
Value
Given all the other twelves I've played, I would have expected to pay more for a guitar of this quality with the Martin guarantee and hard case.
Manufacturer Support
Haven't had to deal with Martin yet.
The Wow Factor
Can't beat the quality. However, its a fairly plain looking guitar.
