I am almost ready to pull the trigger on this guitar; I'm not in a position to go and play it, well there are not many in Australia ATM and I am a very long way from any GC that has one.
1. From a playability point of view, I think this guitar might for me.
2. The sound, many mixed reviews about the sound, especially plugged in. I am not overly concerned about the sound when plugged in. Unplugged, very much so.
3. The guitar is laminated back and sides. Many have complained it ought to be all solid wood. ( Solid Mahogany and Koa Fine Veneer.)
Negative comments about this guitar are always from those who have listened to the guitar played on YouTube. Owners speak highly about how these instruments sound. That being said, it's not a D-28
I have spent hours reading and listening to commentary about this instrument.
It is at the end of the day, a Martin, the amount of research and ingenuity poured into this instrument is impressive.
Is there anyone here interested in this guitar and would care to offer up their assessment of it?
