  • Not perfect, but still great
Know what you're getting before you buy and you'll be happy. This is the kind of guitar Ed Sheeran built his career on as a busker. This is not the guitar he is currently using on tour, nor is it a good choice for recording. The version with electronics might be good for gigging, but the LXK2 does not have electronics so I can't comment further than that. This is a 3/4 size guitar. The scale is about 3" shorter than a regular guitar, which means you can tune up two notes (F#BEAC#F#) with regular strings without risk of snapping them. I've done this, and it was fun. I've also tuned down a couple notes (DGCFAD) and it didn't buzz or feel weird. For some reason, though, I have more issues when using a capo than I do on other guitars--retuning with the capo on is a must. The tuners are not too good. The ratio feels low, which isn't a probably for most of the strings but makes it hard to get the low E string dialed in. I'll probably swap them out for 18:1 Grovers. Projection is minimal, but that shouldn't be a surprise. This is a tiny guitar built to survive kids and/or road trips. For what it is, it sounds good and the volume across each string sounds even. The Martin strings it came with sounded awful and I immediately swapped them out for a set of D'Addario phosphor-bronze. Tone is balanced, but focused in the midrange. Fretboard feels perfect. Action was perfect out of the box. Finish looks nice--I'd describe it as semi-gloss (shinier than a matte finish, but not a glossy mirror). The materials are all laminated, and the "koa" is a photo finish but it looks nice and I don't see a seam or repeat in the pattern. Build quality is ROBUST and the finish will be hard to scratch. I've brought this a couple places and while the tuners aren't superb, it didn't seem to react to temperature changes like other guitars I've owned. This is a guitar I bought for the purpose of bringing to church for youth, and on youth group trips. I am totally comfortable letting the youth borrow it and carry it around without me sweating about it. So far, it's been well received, and it's worked well in our smallish worship circles. Very pleased with this, even with its flaws. ... show more

  • Great at being what it is.
I have a legit Martin 000-18 and this gets many more hours of play. Why? Because I can take this guitar anywhere, leave it on the couch or in the trunk, take it to the beach, everything I would never do with my beloved 000. It sounds and plays pleasantly enough. It's made of a pergo-type material that sounds weirdly warm and has a laminate neck that feels nice and doesn't move. Everything you could change about this guitar to improve its tone, would also make it less portable and durable, which would defeat the purpose. Its materials aren't really going to age like a sweet old D-28; rather it will sound sweeter as you learn how to play it. The neck angle is set so that the action toward the body is rather high. This works out very well for helping it project notes higher on the fretboard. I've considered dropping the action a bit but haven't bothered in two years of playing it constantly. I've put Elixer strings on it all this time and they sound great. This string change I'm going to try Martin strings. ... show more

  • Wow the sound!
I can’t believe this little guitar has such a nice tone! I am very happy I chose this one. It’s nice to take a long and has been the guitar that I pick up because it’s so easy. After playing mine, my guy bought one.

  • This is a great product for younger people or those with smaller reach or smaller hand sizes.
This is a beautifully crafted musical instrument. I purchased this as a gift for my wife. I know very little about musical instruments so I only purchased it after reading and researching what could be a good fit for her. The folks at Total Music Source were a tremendous help in educating me about guitars in general and this specific guitar. Many thanks and kudos to them for helping make her birthday a smashing success! ... show more

  • Sweet little guitar
I have been playing the banjo and uke for a couple of years now and I've never really been comfortable holding a full size (acoustic) guitar. I wanted to find a smaller guitar I could play on the couch or porch and bring with me camping, I love to play outside. I researched and asked musician friends of mine and narrowed it down to this Martin, the Baby Taylor and the Ibanez GA2. I was able to play the Taylor and Martin side by side at a local shop and tried the Ibanez model at a Guitar Center a couple of towns over. The taylor was bright and beautiful but I didn't like the action. The Ibanez sounded good but the action was awful and the tuners were very cheap. The martin was just right. While it's not as brassy and clear as the Taylor, the action and overall feel for me is incredible. The tone is beautiful, very rich for a 3/4 scale, especially the lower notes. The volume is more than enough to keep up with my friends when we jam outside and while I haven't been to a large group jam with it yet (it's only been about a week since I bought it) I have no doubt it will do just fine later this summer when I have a sit down with the blue grass boys. If you're thinking about a 3/4 scale but not sure if this will keep up, you're going to be surprised. I'm heading up the river this weekend and the fact that I can carry my deering good times and this for a combined weight of 7 lbs makes it a no brainer. Overall, extremely pleased. ... show more
