this acoustic guitar is amazing !!! I'm impressed by the sound, it sounds very deep, you play plugging in the Amp or the mixer and the result is amazing !!! I already had other more expensive guitars, but Martin overcame them all with their sonority, people loved his sound and they all talk to me impressed by the sound !!!! really this Martin leaves us in love with the sound!

First let me say I love zZounds. Can’t say enough good things about them. Next I see this guitar sells out of stock a lot and can’t believe as this guitar is usually on the waiting list to buy nobody leaves a review??? Well let me tell u that this price for this guitar is worth it. Skip on the other guitars on the cheaper side and spend a little more green and get a really nice guitar from a well known and popular brand. When I finally got to play in a jam session at a church we were invited to play at I truly didn’t expect the minister to immediately after I pulled the guitar out of the case to come by and couldn’t help but play it and everyone was saying man that’s a nice guitar. What makes this even more suprising there were Gibson’s And other higher priced guitars but this one is the one everyone kept looking at. My Taylor never got that kind of love. Now playability the neck is a Martin neck so it took a little while to get use to playing a Taylor and a cheap a Fender but before to long it felt very comfortable and the deeper sound that comes from the Martin is great and it echoes and prolongs the sound beautifully without being amped up. I played it through my Fender amp and got it set to the sound I like and complements Our singing and makes u feel comfortable on Stage because it sounds so good. It’s a blast to play and the looks fits my personality due to the look of the guitar. I got kinda complacent playing for a while and getting this guitar and playing it got me excited about playing again. Do not doubt the sound and enjoyment I’ll get buying this guitar take the plunge buy it and see for urself and U will be glad u did. After all there is something to be said when a guitar sells out like this one does and it’s on the waiting list all the time.

I just absolutely love this guitar!I had only two issues with this guitar, 1, it didnt come with trust rod wrench and the action was high.That being said, after I adjusted the action to be low, it became so smooth to play and i fell in love.Sound is definitely all martin and the craftsmanship and beauty of the wood will have all of your friends envious and wanting to play it. Most important to me is the fact that I live in the south and humidity is always an issue but you can tune this guitar in the cold air condition and walk outside and it doesn't affect your tuning thanks to the hpl.I recommend this guitar highly and have not one regret buying.

I was blown away by the tone of this guitar. I think it's the best sounding guitar in this price range. very warm and bright. It came set up nicely, had no fret buzz. It stays in tune after being played for quite a while. For the money you can't go wrong. Every time I play it I am surprised by the rich tones and playability. Sounds nice through an amp, also.
