MGR/David Baird « Martin DX1 »
Published on 01/01/04 at 15:00Looking for a new guitar in Dumfries, Scotland, I tried out several in the £300 range. Having tried Garrison and Norman and settled on a Norman, I then tried a DX1 which I thought I could not afford - £529. Having tried it, I could not leave it in the shop - no fret hum, low easy action and wonderfull all brass string set. This is the best guitar made for the price - by far.
The Dx1 is plain - it needs no fancy decoration to make people take note of it. The matt finish is easy to maintain, the tuning pegs are solid and quality finished. The resonance and vibrancy are a joy - I can't keep my hands off it
I didn't get a hard case as part of the deal - big deal.
The matt finish is easy to maintain, the tuning pegs are solid and quality finished. Seams and joints are fantastic. There is no fancy pearl inlay and such - great - a well constructed guitar to do what guitars do - make music, not pictures!
Don't look elsewhere - beginner, amateur or pro, this is the one for you, and if you have a bigger budget - buy two!
