Sounds like a million dollars, as any "real" Martin should.
Sound Rating: 10
They put light strings on it when I bought it. All it need was to have mediums put back on and the buzzes were mostly eliminated. It still has a few but they're very minor and the authorized Martin repairman is talking about lowering, not raising, the already low action.
Setup Rating: 8
I love it. Beautiful red mahogany. Nice spruce top with with several bear claws.
Appearance Rating: 9
Seems like it'll survive a nuclear attack.
Reliability Rating: 10
Haven't dealt with Martin and hope I don't have to. Still, the lifetime warranty is a big plus for me.
Customer Service: not rated
Top-shelf all the way.
Components Rating: 10
Just a beautiful, great sounding ax. The only way to improve it is to play it and let it age.
