Hands down best guitar I've come across so far. I was set on a Gibson but they
just didn't have the magic this guitar has. there's a reason it's five stars
everywhere you look. I played some really nice collings guitars that were great,
but not any better than this in my opinion. Mine arrived with perfect action and
intonation, new strings, gorgeous woods. I played one of these in a store and
fell in love, so I was thinking maybe in time mine will sound as good as this.
Haha. It sounded better than that one right out of the box. The fretboard feels
so good and I love the thicker neck. Craftsmanship is so much better than the
competition it's almost unfair. Also, Martin seems to be the most consistent from
guitar to guitar that I've seen. All the high end stuff should be this way but sadly
it is not. This model is great for strumming, and would be equally as good for
finger style I think. Any type of music sounds great on it. Drop d, slide, capo, it
invites anything. When I owned a previous Gibson, I could still enjoy my old
Washburn jumbo beater. Not the case at all anymore! It's collecting dust and will
be for quite awhile I'm sure! I gotta thank Derek and also recommend him, he's
been a huge help and an awesome person thru this journey of finding the right
guitar. Took three different guitars, but I ended up with the best of the best.
Buying something like this online is frightening to say the least, but I trust the
guys at private reserve. They'll go play these guitars, get an idea of what you're
after, and make sure you get that on your doorstep... For a fantastic price. Very
satisfied with my new acoustic and glad the search is finally over! I highly
recommend this guitar if you can swing it..
