Guitar U.S.
wooden easel and plastic ivoroid kind
Handle rapid end
Acoustics

UTILIZATION

The handle is great for little fingers
It is lightweight and balanced
The sound is typically Martin (good definition and low boom boom), but less cartoonish than the dreadnough
The sound is pleasant

SOUNDS

It is more folk than blues
I prefer to strumming or picking that balance is more delicate

OVERALL OPINION

I've had seven years. This was my fourth flat top acoustic LG2 after 1954, a Harmony of the 20s and an Art and Lutherie. I found it in Austin Texas at a guitar show and she immediately hit me .... in the ear. This is a low-end at Martin, but it sounds like a OM42.
So for me, the value for money is huge. But I tested the same with Paul Beusher in Bordeaux and it sounded like my Art and Lutherie three times cheaper ...
