Fantastic to Hear, Play, and Look At

The tone of this acoustic guitar is very balanced. Not bass heavy sounding. The playability of the neck is typical Martin; (silky smooth with great action). The European flamed maple sides and back are a joy to see. Overall, a very satisfying instrument well worth the price.
