I don’t expect it to sound better than my D-18 or my D-16 Rosewood, but it does sound like a Martin.
Now I’m waiting for the DX1e in Black or the DX1e Johnny Cash. A perfect busking guitar. Or perfect for taking to the open mic at the local pub.
Plus no worries about humidity.
My older Masterbilt easily beats this guitar but I think it would be pretty even with the newer Masterbilts. But that old Masterbilt is just one heck of a guitar!

One nice thing is the pickup. The only other pickup I have available is the one in my Esteban American Legacy "guitar." (I only add the quotes because I still can not find what kind of wood or wood-like material this thing is made of.)
