This is the acoustic/electric version of the new DXM dreadnought. It has Martin's new laminated body (spruce on the top, mahogany on the sides and back)with a Fishman pickup system. Volume, treble, and bass controls on the side of the body; plugs in through a jack in the strap button. Gorgeous satin finish, even though it's not really wood as we know it . . .

Played through a Fender Deluxe Reverb, the amplified sound is GREAT -- very full and crisp top to bottom. Played acoustically, the sound is a little bit small but still very warm and full.

This is what sold me on the guitar. It plays like a dream. I have never felt action like this before on an acoustic guitar. I also play a Strat, and the action on this one is just as fast and easy. I love it.
Reliability/Durability

Looks rock solid.
Customer Support

Lifetime warranty. I called Martin the morning after I bought it, because Mars didn't have any warranty materials or other paperwork on it. I got a call right back from a very friendly and helpful guy at Martin. This bodes well.

I tried a whole variety of acoustic/electrics (Takamines, Fenders, Yamahas, Ovations) and I fell in love with this one the moment I played it. I would absolutely buy it again.
