Published on 06/23/01 at 15:00Acoustic Outfitters / Stratham, New Hampshire.
I specifically purchased it with overseas travel in mind. I had no desire to risk one of my better acoustics on underpaid baggage handlers and poorly designed luggage carousels.
Purchase Price (w/Martin case) $615
The amount and quality of the sound of this instrument far exceeds what you'd expect for the money. I now use it for serious recording. Martin D-28/D-35 sound and feel, at a quarter the price.
Quasi-satin finish. Looks like something Cousin Herb threw together in his spare time, while 'under the influence'.
Ruggedly braced, but very light overall, which probably accounts for the big, rich voice.
Great value, and forgiveable lack of decent cosmetics given the sound. Still -- it would be nice to see a decent finish.
