Guitars > Martin Guitars

1 of the elite trio of acoustic brands!!!

Advantages: will last a life time, sounds great, plays great, will not depreciate
Disadvantages: costly to begin with

...simply, If you purchase a Martin you will never have to buy another acoustic again, they are the perfect tool for all professional players. In my experience I have never seen one loose any value or sound bad. My advice would be to certainly shop around to find the best deals and Do not just settle on the first that you pick up unless you are instantly happy with its feel and sound. No two acoustics are identical in sound or feel so do not stop until ...
...very fortunate to purchase my Martin for £800 second hand price, the guitar had a few marks on it but the fact is I buy my guitars to play and gig not to lock in a cabinet all it's life so this did not bother me, I actually kind of think it added to it's character. Whether you spend £1500 or £5000 on your martin you will have a guitar for life as Martins are built for the professional player looking for the ultimate tool. Ultimately there are other ...

Review of Martin D-28 Acoustic Guitar

Well strung guitar

Advantages: A good guitar
Disadvantages: bit big

This guitar has a good sound to it, it a little bit large for my liking but it has a pure sound to it and i can see why a lot of people would like to buy this guitar. I bought this for my son, who enjoyed it for a while until i bought him a better one for example an encore. this is a very guitar for a beginner but the more experienced musician might prefer to have a slightly more expensive and better quality instrument. All in all i think that if ...

Review of Martin D-42 Acoustic Guitar

One of the best guitars i've played for this money

Advantages: Stunning looks, Amazing Sound, Amazingly playable
Disadvantages: The price doesnt suit all budgets

...and sides for the typical Martin drone. The inbuilt fishman pickups i believe capture the full range of tones produced by this guitar. For me the cutaway shape was necessary as it gives the option for playing above the twelfth fret. This guitar can be used by anyone, although the price does somewhat limit it to the more experienced and potentially more enthusiastic musician. I feel that for a guitar of this build quality the price is reasonable although ...

Review of Martin DC-16RGTE Acoustic Guitar

Strong and Warm

Advantages: tone, weight,
Disadvantages: plain, appears mediocre

...base sound that only faultless Martin can accomplish. Along with a beautiful rosewood fretboard the D16 GT is exceptional value for money- retailing in the UK for around 900 pounds one could do a lot worse - this is a guitar you won't want to sell or trade. Although the body is lighter inweight than maple for example it still offers a strong, warm sound with clear, bright airy trebles. I have owned mine now for 5 years and I'm sure it just gets ...

Review of Martin D-16GT Acoustic Guitar

An amazing guitar

Advantages: Pickups, Appearance, Playability
Disadvantages: Weight

...is just so reliable and easy to play. I feel that this guitar would be ideal for any guitarist. The hardware is epiphone standard which is always good. Appearance wise i really love it, it has contrast between the main colour and binding colour which i think is really nice. ...
