I still consider myself a begginner guitar player having played for about a year and a half (seeing improvment everyday). Overall I am pretty satisfied. Does not play as clean or as easy as the more expensive Martin models but you get what you pay for. Guitar looks great, people are always telling me they have never seen a guitar that has looked like this one ever. Sure to turn heads. Sounds very deep and mellow with a decent clean quality. Not as crisp and bright as a Taylor. I hear there is a chance for these particular guitars to increase in value over the years since they are a limited edition model. All around good guitar for the price.
Musical Background:
about 1 1/2 years
