So here it is. I’ve never felt any GAS for this guitar, possibly due to a combination of some negative reviews I’ve read and the fact that it makes me think of the McNally Strumstick (I’ve got what appears to be a one-string prototype of the strumstick that my aunt bought in Manhattan many moons ago–if I had any doubts about its pedigree, the signature and hand-written number inside the soundhole would erase them). I almost wish I knew someone that owned one of these things so I could hear it for myself. Maybe that would help change my mind.

I got this before the Washburn Rover and loved it. At over twice the price of the Washburn its has a touch of quality about it. I have to agree with the reviewer on this guitar. It is a beautiful traveling instrument from Martin and it oozes quality. If you get it with the built in pickup the applications for it is limitless. Almost impossible to play it without the supplied strap though.. ( ;
