She's a beaut

 I was at Guitar Center today....yeah I know we can get in trouble going there and I did ;-P I am a smaller guy and I wanted something less than a full dreadnought. I was eyeing the Mini Taylor and then I spotted a Martin. Same price as the Taylor,similar category,sounded just as sweet and has an included pickup which doesn't appear to need a battery. The body of this guitar was slightly larger than the Taylor but it was still the right size for me. It's a MIM Martin but looks nice and was  not expensive.
 
  I am impressed with the quality and sound of this guitar. I tracked an old familiar  song with it I knew from way back but only learned it on guitar today...still learning it...the journey is fun.

    Love the OO size over a dreadnought and Martin is still my favorite voiced acoustic.

    Congrats on your new guitar.
     
    There is one very similar staying here at my place this month. We have a set of "hi strings" for "Nashville tuning" on it.
     
    The guitar is nice and light and it has real sweet tone.
     
    I hope you enjoy yours for years and years.
     
    best regards,
    mike

     Thanks guys. I'm sorry I didn't reply sooner, kinda busy here.
     
     I have never owned a "nice" acoustic guitar. I'm still wondering if there's something wrong with me ( besides the usual ). I haven't tuned this guitar in three weeks, maybe a quarter turn on the  high E string. I'm not used to this. My other acoustic guitar needs tuned every time I pick it up. Even if I didn't play it I needed to tune it. Something must be wrong.
     
     I love the smooth rounded corners.The tone couldn't get much better,even sounds good with my playing. I took it out to play a few weeks ago and used the pickup in it into the house mixer from a cheap D-box and it was even ok then. I am sorry I didn't look for a guitar like this sooner.
