This guitar is no longer manufactured, it was replaced by Martin DM (a little different and my taste a little worse)

Be careful, the few stores who still sell the stock at a price that is more current (1250 euros) since the DM is 800 euros on average.

I bought my D-1 used on ebay for 600 euros.

I think just the ribs are pressed against-the rest is solid (unlike the DM or the back is pressed against)

OVERALL OPINION

I for a month and a half
before I had a smaller guitar (a corte to 400 euros) and there is no comparison.

D-1 has a powerful sound, very well balanced between the bass / midrange / treble, pleasant.

A recording is nickel, I place a condenser microphone in front of the rose, 45 cm, and then I remove the bass and I go back to 7.5 kHz in equ.

The guitar is very light but it must be said: fragile, at least with respect to the finish. Be very gaffe if not welts appear very quickly on the front (super fine layer of varnish, to wonder if there is one).

For my part I took some time to get used to the handle.

Anyway, overall I am very happy with this guitar.
