Two weeks ago I purchased the Martin GPCPA4 Rosewood Performing Artist Acoustic-Electric Guitar from zZounds. This was not my first Martin, but it was my best to date. I have a Martin DX1 RAE and a Martin D16RGT. They are both fine guitars, but the GPCPA4 Rosewood is in my opinion a better guitar. I was impressed with the quality of sound right out of the box. The guitar came with a hard case as well. Deep rich bass and outstanding middle and highs. The sustain on this guitar is awesome! I am very impressed with this guitar overall. This guitar doesn't have the overly bright sound of most of the other guitars I compared it against, while chosing a new guitar. Even unpluged this guitar has great volume. The only thing it doesn't have that I would of prefered, would be a total gloss finish, not just the solid sitka spruce top, but that said it still looks beautiful. I would highlyreccomend this guitar.
