The Martin? It's really lovely... It was a bit odd at the guitar shop, had a nightmare of a day at work then jumped straight in the car to beat rush hour traffic, then it turned out the Dave I'd been speaking to in the office to tee this deal up was a mate!
So when I got to a quiet place to try the guitar out I was a bit unsure of what I was hearing, I was a bit freaked out... It was only when I went over to the expensive acoustic wall and tried out all the very posh Martins that I realised the 00 had a sound I much preferred! The D28 sounded so dull by comparison, it was weird... That made my mind up...
It still sounds a bit rude, I'm sure it'll mellow with time... Much brighter in tone than I'd imagined it would be but the strings are spankers as well, this is straight out of the factory... Happy with it! A much more rounded and sweeter tone than my Kalamazoo and much easier to play as well...
