  • Interesting Guitar
Size: Right Color: HPL Mahogany Top
The Martin DX1E is one of the most interesting guitars I have ever played, and one I definitely recommend. But, please be aware of what you are getting into. The Martin DX1E is completely made of high pressure laminate, as in the same stuff used to make formica countertops. Because of this it is easily one of the most indestructible guitars ever made; a beast you wouldn't be afraid to gig with or take camping. I believe the HPL also attributes to the guitar's amazing tuning stability since the HPL is not affected by temperature and humidity. The guitar also has nice electronics that sound great plugged in. It should be noted that the "wood" grain is printed on the HPL and in person does not look much like real wood at all. I understand this is not important to everyone, but just a fair warning. The biggest issue I see is that the HPL doesn't have as much volume or low end as most wooden guitars, which essentially defeats the purpose of purchasing a dreadnaught over a more comfortable guitar such as a OOO or OM guitar. For these reasons, if you need a low maintenance camping or couch guitar, I recommend the OX1E model instead. ... show more

  • Bait and Switch - no Koa Markings on this guitar, as shown in picture
Size: Right Color: HPL Koa Top
The photo of the guitar on line clearly shows Koa markings on the laminate top, below the bridge. The guitar I received looks like mahogany or some other dark wood, with no Koa markings/stripe below bridge. Beware of bait and switch

  • Great guitar and customer service
Was accidentally sent the wrong guitar and seller did a great job getting a replacement shipped to us in a timely manner with expedited shipping. My son is so very pleased with this guitar. It’s beautiful and he says it strums and plays so easily. He’s got a couple gigs/performances this weekend and is so excited to use this guitar on stage. Very pleased with overall guitar and customer service. ... show more

  • Martin is simply the best.
Size: Right Color: HPL Koa Top
Martin Guitars stay at the top of my estimation in that no matter the cost, the Martin quality stands out. I have owned many guitars throughout the years, but I have been an exclusive Martin guy for the past 10 years now.
