Review of the Martin DM Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar

Review of the Martin DM Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar - "This is a beautifully crafted Dreadnought with a voice that drips honey..."

Fender CD-60 Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar, Sunburst Review

Laminated Spruce Top, Laminated Nato back and sides Scalloped X Bracing Sonokeling Bridge with Compensated Saddle and chrome die cast tuners Additional Features: Dual Action Truss Rod, Black Pickguard, Scalloped X Bracing, Dot Position Inlays, Compensated Urea Saddle, Gold Silkscreened Fender Logo, Multi-ABS Inlays on Soundhole Rosette, Black Body and Neck Binding, Black Bridge and End-pins

At a buck under $200, this is a great bargain and a quality entry-level acoustic guitar. The finish is of very high quality and the sound is quite nice. The action is also better than one could hope for in a $199 guitar and the tuning pegs are excellent. It holds its tune very well, even with brand new strings (according to the Korg GA electronic tuner that I bought at the same time). An added bonus is the well made fake leather hard case that is also a bargain at the price. I’m sure more experienced guitarists could find fault and I’m sure a $1000-plus guitar would be better made/sound better, but this is a great place to start. The sunburst finish is very nice. Amazon handled the transaction flawlessly also.

CF Martin Guitar & Co. and “Once” Open On the Great White Way

The acclaimed musical based on the 2007 ACADEMY AWARD®-winning film of the same name. Throughout its run at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre, “Once” will exclusively feature Martin guitars and strings. Currently in previews, the show will officially open on March 18, 2012.

In addition to Martin being the exclusive provider of guitars and strings for the entire run of “Once”, Martin instruments were also used on the original Broadway cast album, to be released by Masterworks Broadway, a label of Sony Masterworks, on March 13; and will be one of the title sponsors for the opening night festivities on March 18

“We couldn’t be more thrilled to be a part of this unique Broadway experience,” said Amani Duncan, director, promotional marketing for C. F. Martin & Co. “Not only will this partnership expose our brand to an expanded segment of music lovers and consumers but it is the perfect opportunity for us to align with a play that is about the very genre of music on which our business is based.”
