I disagree. That guitar will not sound better than most $300 dreadnoughts. You're paying extra for the Martin name on the headstock. At that price you should at least get a ebony fretboard vs. the rosewood.
There's more value spending the 500 dollars somewhere else. In my opinion, a Martin won't sound better than anything else until your spending in the $2K range. At that level they really begin to stand out, but then, so do most guitars. -Brendan --- Doug Brewer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Here you go: > > http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Martin-DX1-Dreadnought- > > Acoustic-Guitar?sku=514814 > > order now. > > if I had the bucks, I'd buy it. > > On Jan 2, 2008, at 12:10 AM, Scott Loveless wrote: > > > Hey, gang.
