Style of Music: jazz, classical and a mixture of all world musics

Experience: music degree - jazz composition - play sax and many guitars

"An outstanding piece of kit for the price."

Sound:

The sound of this instrument is awsome - it blew me away when tryin it out in the shop. The reverb is good enough for me and if you want more on stage then get an fx unit. The sound is clean and pure - why bother with an electric/acoustic, this is a bit of genius. A good quality classical guitar sound comes from the sound box - this is as close as it gets to perfection using electrics.

Feature:

The reverb is great and if it sounds distorted its because the volume is too high. The action is brilliant for off the shelf - but I will get it dressed. I can plug this into my 120 watt sound system and it sounds astounding - makes you sound very professional. I would like to see an inbuilt tuner - thet would have been the icing on the cake - and perhaps an eq.

Quality:

I think its its great - the woodwork is just the dogs nuts. Machine heads and head stock are very pleasing to the eye. It fits together very tight and true - no gaps or dodgy areas. Its a quality piece of kit. Even the bag is a little special - well padded. I wanted a hard case really but this will do fine as long as you keep it with you when flying.

Manufacturer Support:

Don't know - haven't tried it.

Value:

This instrument is a little unusual and difficult to compare to other similar products but I was more than willing to pay the dosh - I think its well worth it - its a one off which I'll keep for life.

The Wow Factor:

Its got to be the sexiest bit of kit I have and I have about ten guitars (at the last count) Its wow factor can not be beaten - its just an amazing looking instrument - have you seen anythin like it before - if your a keen guitarist then this is a must have.

Overall:

I can play almost anything on this instrument - classical, folk, jazz and even rock - it adds a new dimension to old songs/tunes. Its just wonderful hearing the sound - every time I pick it up I'm struck by its uniqueness. It really is a quality piece of gear but I guess its not for everyone - only those that really appreciate what a musical instrument is for!!

Style of Music: Blues, Rock, funk, funkier... cow bell, gotta have more cow bell...

Experience: Active Musician

"Irresistable temptress, oozes style and class."

Sound:

Through a fender acoustic amp, it sounds sweet, full, round. On the gain channel, it broke up nice. Rough and classy at the same time. There are better sounding electric/acoustics out there for the same price, but they tend to have more quirks and dead spots.

Feature:

The reverb's a little weak, and it could use a middle eq control. Nice headphone sound and volume.

Quality:

Well designed, assembled, and finished. If the knobs and switches are more sturdy than I'd give it a 10.

Manufacturer Support:

Value:

A little pricey, by maybe $75-100.

The Wow Factor:

It demanded to be picked up at the shop. If I see one anywhere, I'll make a point of finding out who's got it, how do they like it, and can I try it!

Overall:

As an apartment dweller, the silent option is valuable, especially at 3 am. If the eq is upgraded, and the reverb nixed, and the price is brought down to reasonable, which really isn't that much less, actually, then It's my next purchase. The Martin "back packer" has a worthy travel partner.
