Six years, seven countries, five continents, zero problems. Fantastic axe. Just about everyone who plays it loves it

I wanted a guitar I could carry to and from school, and this one fits the bill. It sounds great!

To top it all off, it’s easily portable and is also available as an acoustic/electric. Way to go Martin!

This guitar is built like a tank, and stuffs easily in the overhead bin when I fly. Just a slight set up adjustment, Tusq pins, and Elixer Mediums and I was good to go.
