Review: Didn't expect it to sound so good! - Considering the hpl construction, this guitar sounds fantastic! I play in a country/southern rock band so I needed something durable that also plays and sounds good. This guitar surprised me. For a Martin at this price, I really have no complaints. What's really crazy to me is the electronics. I put this thing through my distortion gauntlet starting with a compressor/OD, a Boss SD-1 and even an Abassi Concepts Pathos distortion and it was very manageable. No major feedback!!! That's a first for me and I've owned more acoustic electric guitars than I care to admit lol. So, if you're looking for a durable, great sounding acoustic electric for a very reasonable price considering the name it bares on the headstock, you really can't go wrong with this wonderful instrument. I hope this helps guys and girls.
