UTILIZATION

Guitar trslgre, Access in acute and easier, shape and feel well made and trs, and finishing.

Only BMOL for this guitar is the neck, it remains difficult to play, not to empty the bars and agreements rather complicated! We can quickly catching tendinitis! Also the handle is not varnish, which is problematic lorqu'il is hot and you sweat, because the thumb grip, and has a lot to me dplacements gene.

SOUNDS

Against noise issue by then! L Martin they made strong! It is a pleasure vritable, a perfect balance in the spctre, warm bass as I love, the beautiful mdiums and treble that sounds like the crystal. Finally vritable a pleasure, both involved in picking the mdiator. I never had as much fun playing the finger elsewhere. Not the frankly they have strong, because this guitar is not completely solid wood!

OVERALL OPINION

So I use it for a year now, what I like least is like I said the hardness of the shaft, but it makes up in sound so well that we forget quickly tendinitis!
Before buying it, I took a m'tais Journe to find the guitar that sounds old as I love vintage. Basically J'T parties for Taylor, but the whole essay APRS upscale at Taylor, I did not find one that REALLY sounded like I was looking for! So it is with Martin that I rabatu, and I finally found my Bonnheure trying one acoustic MODEL 2500 euros. Only I did not want to put this money and I really wanted a pan shot.
And that's the end of the essay I Journe XC1T Ellypse and I really took a slap at the sound! it sounded even better than Martin and 2500 euros for only 1000 euros. Unbelievable.

Obviously I would do without this choice problem. For the price there is no better on the market. Against it by a guitar that I use only for the studio as too difficult to live, but I think I have found another Martin, but to live with a handle easier.

Fishman Ellipse Blend Prampli. (Embedded in the rose, I love "but
not electro? b if if ... look ... " )
There is a rglage to balance between the two pickups, one volume, and another
button to decrease the Feedback I think depending on where you play (check)
Book by tui rigid Martin. (Beautiful)
I put 9 because I do not know what will evolve back and wicker covers. For the time being
it's perfect but because it is a new matriau ... see but I think we can trust Martin.

UTILIZATION

The walking is good trs, trs enjoyable and feels good wood.
CHAC is possible thanks to the sharp cutaway. A pan shot what.
Ergonomics weird because the handle seems heavier than the body but in the end
it's super enjoyable. (in comparison with a Takamine or body mass is heavier).
The sound - nothing to say, trs good balance for all frequencies. It's here must first ds agreements.
But I think for such a choice of guitar strings is important for
keep some sustain and volume. I think there are more adaptable than mdiums of lights for that gear.

I put 8 because I think this guitar the strings a bit high RULES to departure.

SOUNDS

- Appropriate are your style of music?
I play both arranged folk standards as Butler or John McKee as open.
Nothing wrong to be. Do not string too soft.

- What are the sounds you prfrez, you dtest?
Caution is the kind of guitar that does not Tolra a cord with 1 / 4 of hair from your perch a little higher in an agreement. It s understood right away.
But rgl ... It does not explain s, ca s listening.

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?
I use it for a week.

- What is the particular feature you like best and least?
The best: the sound and effect ond on the back and wicker covers.
Minimum: CHAC cell (c is good but not every day that it is changing.)

- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
Larrive, although but slightly upgraded now.

- How do you report qualitprix?
It is "RESPECT" Dear, 1000, at least a good serve and it has something to
good ...

- With the exprience, you do again this choice?
I do not t's. Especially with the tui that throws!
I would do so this choice.

Made in MEXICO
Massive mahogany table
Composite body, which explains the price, relatively low for a MARTIN
Cutaway
Fishman system, coupling a micro nut + ambience mic in the box
A flat for live use: no varnish on the wood (table, round ...)
Adjustments: Volume + Balance saddle pickups / atmosphere

UTILIZATION

Access to the treble is very easy thanks to the cutaway and the shape of the handle
Guitar very light and balanced, it is placed on the thigh or shoulder

SOUNDS

Houlala ...
It's just awesome! The day of the trial, and after being satisfied only by the aesthetics and the fame of the mark, I wonder what can be a crate so small and light as a guitar ...
It's just stunning ... Bass good round and a perfect balance!
THERE is no word, you just try!
To be compared with higher priced guitars, with boxes much larger and without cutaway, one wonders how Martin can succeed in this feat.
The microphone system is excellent, but ask my opinion a little time to be mastered so many possibilities it offers adjustment + room mic position inside the box.

OVERALL OPINION

Use for several weeks, it's probably a little short to judge.
But it is always the same pleasure at the opening of the case, the first note, last, etc ...
This is clearly not a guitar first prize, and not suitable for a beginner, it also boosts power faults, and it takes a little hit in order to be valued at fair value.
To have tried a lot before buying (Guild, Taylor, Takamine, etc..), I found the quality / price excellent and the sound much warmer than pklus on other models.
After everything is matter of taste: aesthetics, sound, the game
In this budget, I think we should definitely try this guitar before buying another!
I Refer-free choice without any hesitation!

Cf kiri81 "...
Especially for the solid spruce top. My lifts are stamped "Martin & Co". The electronics hidden in the rose is simply the great class! The ambience mic inside the body too. He had on the other hand tend to stroll, so I finally hang where I wanted with a small black elastic (discrete wish).

UTILIZATION

I love everything about my little darling. Me, I love the handle: the sharp-varnish (also on the table) has just been instrumental in the purchase. The look of "roots" is brand compared to other brands models all good varnish. But ... Must love the whole "found at the bottom of the Bayou. It's party time every time I open the box. The grip is magic ... Let's go to her!

SOUNDS

This is THE folk sound that I have sought for years. I passed on my old Epiphone with my brother after an hour with my kiff Martin. Most impressive has been testing the day of purchase. I compared it for over an hour and a half with a Gibson and Taylor (Fender did not take 10 minutes!). I do not remember most of the models, but I really liked the Gibson (more expensive of course). The Taylor was too perfect (too course for my taste, too politically correct). What I subjugate with Martin, the dull side, warm and deep: True Blues! The bass and treble balance is incredible. That's why these settings are absent on the preamp of the rosette. Same recording: the balance control ambience mic-stand is super convenient. I use almost no microphone in front of the box (but I'm not a pro at making her either!). I play usually empty or on my Jam Over 150 SR Technologies, and is a joy: the sound of my Martin is still there.

OVERALL OPINION

I do it again this election 10 times if necessary. It sounds, it is too beautiful, she is like no other (excuse me ... I did too!). Frankly, for 1000 euro at the time, I'm happy not to have to drool over the Gibson (with a more classic look candidly).
