UTILIZATION

The neck is very thin and very pleasant. All boxes are available and there is no frieze even with extra light.
Like all dreadnought, it is large but nothing compared to some takamine.
In addition to the coating facilitates sliding of the arms and fingers.

SOUNDS

I find it a very versatile guitar for the game as much rhythm in arpeggio.
The sound is very round and well balanced between bass and treble.
It's a very typical and very style Martin, but really not very folk metal or electric (at least in acoustics)
When the branch, you obviously have a good amp because it is full of bass.
I love the acoustic sound with David Gilmour, Ben Harper, Radiohead, Heart ... and it apparent that guitar a lot.
The sound is very warm, very rich and very clean.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 6 months and I do not change it for a while.
I wanted a D-28 Martin from home but the price made me go back.
It's the only guitar that I found interesting and had the sound I was looking really (except for D-28 models and above) and frankly, considering the price, do not hesitate.
Yet I try Takamine (too plastic, Taylors (too expensive), the Gibsons and even a horse (in the end I preferred the D-28)
She is beautiful, it sounds really good, it is easy to play.
The only downside is that there is no volume control on the body.

If I really have the means I certainly would have made the D-28 (although, since I was the Guild, I have not tried again with Martin) but now I think I would do the same choice.
