Pros

Taylor baby 3/4 guitar is the same size as this martin, however a little thinner in the body with a much brighter sound to it. Great starter guitar that has a rich sounds and feels comfortable to learn to play on.

The size is perfect for just messing around on the couch or travel. Perfect for small hands and beginners. Great 3/4 size guitar for little hands as well as adults.

Very pleased with this, even with its flaws. I was smitten (and still am) is awesome. Feels great.

Little martin lxk2 has a rich sound and a nice heft to it. The sound is very nice and belies its small size. It has the beautiful chime sound i've heard in other martins.

Bought this to replace my washburn rover as my beach/campfire/couch guitar. Its koa pattern and small frame makes this guitar ideal for traveling.

Cons

The wood swelled causing the bridge to delaminate. The laminate is so cheap that it looks like the wood grain was printed on. This isn’t martin craftsmanship.

For the price, i would highly recommend this product.

Best guitar out there for the price

Shipping

Guitar arrived on time and in perfect condition.

Wanted to return because delivery was announced as friday, sep 2 after i had left on trip.

Of course it didn't arrive in tune but it seemed like it had been intentionally detuned prior to shipping (which is good).

It arrived from the online store already tuned.

Packaging/appearance

Although, the carry bag it comes with is nice(bonus).

I’ve been taking it every where with me (beach / camping / various trips)the second i pulled it out of the box my dog came over... Read More

Competitiveness

I also compared this to the solid topped little martin.

I've taken to playing my classical, finger-picking repertoire on this guitar and (i'm chagrined to stay) i actually like the ov... Read More

It's a much different animal than the rover; much more refined sound with bigger body.

I have also heard that the taylor tuners were not as good as the martin.
