This guitar suits me perfectly. The feel and tone are just plain awesome. Best guitar in this price range...period!

What more could you ask for? The fishman f1 aura is the best you can get in any price range. Great value.

Needs some tweaking but that's to be expected with any new guitar. I love my GPCPA3.

Top notch Martin craftsmanship. This one is built for a lifetime

I got a great deal on mine and its worth every penny

Haven't needed it and I hope I dont

I'm proud to own it. It's a beautiful work of art

This is an excellent guitar in every category. It's kind of like a Taylor 414ce except with rosewood! The tone produced by rosewood just can't be matched in my opinion and this guitar can hold it's own against the higher priced Taylor 814ce even. It has a very balanced tone and a great feeling neck. The tone is awesome.

The Performing Artist series has the Fishman F1 Aura and no other electronics compare. You get a real acoustic guitar sound for the first time live without a mic. The system recreates your guitar's natural sound with 9 world class mic images at your disposal. The guitar is light years ahead of the competition.

It is very nice. It did need a set up but you should always expect that with a new acoustic. The only reason it gets only 9 stars is I think Taylor gives a better factory set up even though this guitar blows theirs away in this price range or even a couple hundred more. It's very similar in tone to the limited edition Taylor 414ce with the rosewood back and sides but I'm going with this baby for the Aura. I will never get rid of mine. A must have for the serious performer.

Martin quality. I looked mine over with a fine toothed comb and it's flawless. Martin is on top of the game with quality control. This guitar is very well built.

I hope I never need it

I really love the Aura system but the tone of this guitar is enough to sell it.

Martin tone that sets this instrument apart from other brands

The first time I saw this thing it caught my eye and stood out to me from all the other guitars in the store (even guitars triple the price)...then I played it and Wow! I came back to the store about five times and eventually bought it. At that point, I knew I had a great guitar but I didn't yet know just how nice it was. The more I play it the more I love it. The tone is beautiful and very balanced. The highs, mids and lows ring so clear. It will need a little bit of tweaking with the set up but that is to be expected with any new acoustic. They play it safe with the set up so a player can set it up to suit their individual tastes and styles. I am a pro musician/recording artist and I do about 170 shows a year. Yes I am a full-timer. I have been playing a Taylor 810ce for the past five years or so and I think this guitar may be my new favorite, although my 810ce is still very sweet. I just love this thing. Fine craftsmanship and detail....but it's the tone and feel of this thing that sold me. It's a truly great instrument that any pro should be proud to own. The Fishman Aura system is second to none. Sure there may be a bit of a learning curve but just like anything else just take a little time to learn what it does and you are in business. The Aura blows away all other systems and reproduces the actual acoustic image. Try one...you won't be sorry. Martin got it right with this series. Look out Taylor...you've got some serious competition!

This guitar plays like butter and sings like a bird.

Awesome attention to detail. Some people may think it's plain looking but I think it's one good looking instrument.

I got a great deal on mine so I'm giving it a 10. I didn't pay the 2k sticker price

Haven't needed it but I'm sure they are great. I have met a couple of the guys from Martin during a Martin show and they were great guys. I'm going to assume they will be great and give them a 10

Now that I have this guitar I'll never get rid of it. Paired with my Taylor 810ce I have two very nice stage acoustics.
