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!
