Really nice, for a huge fat price
By Johnny Guitar
First, I don’t own this guitar. I merely played one. But there were no reviews so I thought I would add a basic one.
The body is more or less littler than a lot of guitars, both in terms of the size of the soundboard (face), and the thickiness of the guitar. This does make it rather comfortable to play. The sound was typical of martins, but more delicate or tame than say, a dreadnought, due to the more or less littler body. It played like a dream and I’d love to have one but for the $3200 price, it is a bit oversold. You’re paying for Eric’s endorsement, and a couple inlays and minor features that are not on the basic 00028.
If cash is no object, it is an interesting piece and a nice guitar. But you might do better to pay a grand less and get the basic 00028. Unless you like guitars with other people’s names on them. But hey what do I know. I have a Reverend Horton Heat Gretsch 6120, so….ya know…its regarding the feature set and what you in truth like. I didn’t buy that for the name. On this guitar, this model gives you dissimilar tuning machine knobs and a couple inlays for a grand….not sure that’s worth it.
I downgraded one star on the price tag, because I don’t think the value is there. But it is a very nice guitar and if you buy one, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. Its a fine instrument, just overpriced.
