MGR/DX-1 owner « Martin DX-1 »
Published on 10/18/03 at 15:00I bought it at Guitar Center for my birthday in April 2002. I payed $450.00 new.
I love the sound of this guitar. It's not as pretty as the higher end Martins, but it sounds just as good. I played every acoustic they had in stock, and when I was done the DX-1 was the best buy. The action was great and NO fret noise at all. Easy to pick and easy to chord.
I wish it had the pearling in the neck and had a glossy finish on the body.
This guitar is not massed produced. It is hand made and all seams match nicely. The smell of the wood is very nice. It smells like it was made yesterday.
For someone on a budget the DX-1 is the best full sized acoustic in sound and in play quality. Like I said earlier, I played over 50 guitars in the $199-$799, and even a few $1000-$2000, and for the basic acoustic guitar the DX-1 is the best. I love my Martin. If I had money to blow I'd buy a $2000 Martin, but I don't, and for the price of the DX-1 you get a great guitar. It's not as pretty as some, but out plays them all.
