I have a Martin 000X1 that I love. I played everything I could for about $800 or less and bought one of these. I tried not to like it because of the formica, etc., but could not help myself. I tried to hear why solid wood cheapos (Epiphone Masterbuilts, Seagulls, etc.), often touted here and elsewhere as "better," were superior, but, as I said, the 000X1, at least to me, sounded great and had the Martin sound I love. I have a 70s Martin M38 that I love but do not want to take to certain gigs, and this has fit the bill just perfectly. I suggest at least trying one.
