Martin & Co DX-1R
By moosers on 03/25/2008 at 19:58 Music is your Profession.
Characteristics  
My Martin DX-1R was made in the USA and has 21 frets and is not an electric-acoustic.
Utilisation  
I have loved this guitar since the first time I played it...the neck is unfinished and goes so easy on the fingers, one of the nicest necks I have played and I couldn't believe it for the price. It is very light and is extremely easy to get a nice sound of. I would say the sound is definitely on the brighter, tinnier side, but it does have some nice bottom and fullness as well.
Sounds  
I'm a singer/songwriter and play a lot of shows by myself with this guitar and it always delivers, whether its with or without the external pick up I purchased. I'm into a lot of acoustic guitar orientated music (Bob Dylan, etc) and this has suited me great for playing those kinds of songs.
Overall Opinion  
I've had this guitar for about a year and half now and I've been converted to a Martin lover. If I ever upgrade I will upgrade to a higher grade Martin guitar. I was looking at some Taylors and I decided to go with this one because it just played so nice and sounded so great for the price. I would hate to lose this guitar and I recommend it to anyone looking for mid-level priced guitar with great sound and feel. I would probably just purchase a higher end Martin guitar if I were to break of lose it.
