Review: Martin LX1 Is The Guitar Ed Sheeran Loves To Play - The Martin LX1 is a wonderful guitar for smaller people with tiny hands, or even as a travel guitar. This one does not come with a pickup; I meant to get an LX1E but excited about ordering a Martin at a low price, just 449.00, in my haste I ordered the acoustic without pickup. My Luthier did, however install a pickup he had in his shop, and the sound is brilliant thru an amp. Don't have to tune it much, no more than any guitar, it's small and easy to play, it feels perfect on my small lap! And it's all wood, very sturdy and beautiful color. Mine is a light tan color. Martin never makes cheap, and this guitar is proof! Crystal, clean, melodious sound! You can never go wrong with a Martin!
Review: Be Sure of the Size - I was looking for a Baby Taylor when I came across this little mini Martin guitar. I liked the description and the price was reasonable, so I bought it. It was delivered about 3 days later. I was pleased with it's general appearance, and after adjusting the strings over time, I found it to hold it's tune, with a subtle but rich tone for such a small guitar. It even came with a very nice, well made gig bag. The only drawback was that I was afraid it was "too" small. I used to own a Baby Taylor and this Martin was a bit smaller than that. I must admit that I haven't played a guitar in several years, and my fingers have gotten a little "sausagey". But I think it'll be ok. With a little practice and some stretching exercises I'll be just fine. As far as recommending this guitar, I would do so without hesitation. I love the sound, the size, the style. Unless you have ham hocks for hands or still sleep in a crib, this little Martin and it's gig bag makes a really good go anywhere, anytime, fun little guitar for just about any age, beginner or accomplished performer.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ For Everyone or Any Collection
*by L***E on October 30, 2015*

I've been playing for about 30 years, being in a very musical family with people you have all heard of, but I will keep that anonymous here. All kinds of acoustics, electrics...all brands--low dollar, very high dollar and so on. Knew about the electronics version, but wanted to get this one totally "off the grid," a guitar you could easily carry anywhere with no need for anything else. Mainly just goof playing, playing with random other folks/instruments, whenever, wherever=and handing off to my daughter one day. First of all, for crying out loud, it really is a Martin. I just didn't believe it would play like one, but it does. This is the crown jewel from the Mexico factory. I really like the sound. Not a full sized sound, but a special unique sound that has great range and establishes its own category. It is easy to play. I also like the echo tones from finger percussing the body. I'm not going to ramble on here and give a too long review that many won't read. Let's cut to the chase. This is a Martin. A real Martin with all that that entails, for a low low price. If you are wanting to try guitar, this should probably be your first. If you are an enthusiast and want an everywhere guitar that has small, tight frets and good action that you can take anywhere and accidentally bang up a few times, get this guitar. Finally, if you are someone who likes guitar, get this guitar.
