When I went shopping for my first Martin, I truly expected to come home with a D-28 or 35 as those were the ones I was most familiar with. I came home with an M-36. I never even touched the D 28/35 models. I already had a Takamine dread, and the comfort of the M-36 was so apparent, and the sound so good, it was no contest. My two cents: try every guitar that appeals to your eyes. You never know when a guitar will find you.
