Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

It all comes down to the bracing patterns, the radius of the back and top, and other internal details. The quality is jut top notch. The bridge is wide and the braced resonant.

The lx1 sounds great and is easy to play. In fact for me, it is perfect as i'm petite. I’m a grown man who’s played a full sized martin since i was a teenager. The little martin is ultra portable, with a surprising substantial feel.

The sounds is crisp. It’s weird to hear such a big, booming sound coming out of this little fellow. The sound is great for the size and easy to get in a car packed with baby gear.

The gs mini is much better than some less costly ones. The lx1 is fine for that purpose.

It comes with a vinal case, i recommend you get a hard shell. Comes with steel strings and the bag. Martin logo embroidered in gold. Made in nazareth.

Cons

The top on my martin split in the middle of the lower bout, from the bridge to the end and ihad to glue it back together. The martin has cheap die cast tuners, and a finger rash problem. Disappointed in quality of tone.

The joints, seams and finish are excellent.

The guitar, excluding the top, which is solid spruce, is made from hpl wood.

It all comes down to the bracing patterns, the radius of the back and top, and other internal details that luthers manipulate.

Price

Awesome guitar, the sale price of $299 was outstanding!

Buy it on amazon and you the price beats everyone, and has a nice martin backpack.

I really didn't want to spend $60 on a setup/tune up, and started to regret not buying the martin lx1 i had looked at the same day.

Although the lx series of guitar, is inexpensive, there are martin 0 and 00 size guitars that sell for more than $8000.

Shipping

For sending this guitar to deployed soldiers (us army) in combat zone.

Packaging/appearance

It was in a double thick box and within a gig bag.

I was a little worried because the box i received was a bit beat up and had been retaped.

Delighted with the buy, but when i saw the case, which is really a gig bag, wow!

Competitiveness

I've done extensive comparisons between the lx1, lxm, and lxk guitars.

You cannot compare any small bodied guitar with a d series guitar, or classical guitar.

Second, i've seen several reviews that compare this guitar with other body classes, such as dreadnoughts and classical guitars.

I compared it to fender acoustics and yamaha acoustics in the same price range, and this martin was a touch smaller (i was only... Read More
