Martin & Co 5-15

(Originally written by mamour6/translated from Audiofanzine FR)

I had been looking for it for a long time so I didn't hesitate to buy it when I found it.
Impressive! Quality and beauty! It seduced me right away! And the sound!! What a great sound!
I already owned several models, including two "compact-size" ones. I'm selling my Taylor and my Art&Lutherie now that I have it! They stand no chance! It sounds hard and good! It's a pleasure to play with it (BTW I discovered that I like light strings!).
Its easy to get to the 15th fret but not so to the 19th... who plays so far on the neck, anyways?
I like everything about it! In spite of my beginner skills I already recorded it and posted the videos on YouTube. My web cam alters the sound, it's a pity!

UTILIZATION

It sounds great even when a beginner like me plays it!

SOUNDS

It's great for the music I make. Pop, blues, ballads...


OVERALL OPINION

I've owned it for 2 months. I like its look, its size and its simplicity. It's the first thing I grab when I have spare time!
I've already had other models and I can feel it has better quality! Some might say that the price doesn't affect the quality. But when it comes to guitars, if you pay a higher price you'll most probably get a good instrument (a few exceptions confirm this rule)!
I wouldn't hesitate and buy it again!
