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 Star! Nothing like having a new guitar and she is a beaut. - I think
no fret dots looks great.

 
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,

Wow! I love the tone you got with your guitar. Very nice!

Where is my drool cup?
 
Love how it sounds!!

Nice guitar. New is always good....as is old.... heck any guitar is good.

 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.

WOW she's gorgeous Tim!!! I love acoustic guitars. I don't know why I didn't get mine along time ago. Shear joy they are!
