If you want a Martin get a Martin, but I absolutely agree with cpabolting about going used and getting an all wood model, even if it means saving and waiting a little longer.

There are a lot of very good clones out there, some come close to the Martin sound but none of them sound "exactly" like a Martin, period. The only thing that sounds exactly like a Taylor is a Taylor, exactly like a Collings is a Collings, etc.

If you don't need the Martin sound get the Eastman. If you want the Martin sound get a Martin, and a used all wood model is my recommendation.
