For Everyone or Any Collection

ByLukeon October 29, 2015

I've been playing for about 30 years, being in a very musical family with people you have all heard of, but I will keep that anonymous here. All kinds of acoustics, electrics...all brands--low dollar, very high dollar and so on. Knew about the electronics version, but wanted to get this one totally "off the grid," a guitar you could easily carry anywhere with no need for anything else. Mainly just goof playing, playing with random other folks/instruments, whenever, wherever=and handing off to my daughter one day. First of all, for crying out loud, it really is a Martin. I just didn't believe it would play like one, but it does. This is the crown jewel from the Mexico factory. I really like the sound. Not a full sized sound, but a special unique sound that has great range and establishes its own category. It is easy to play. I also like the echo tones from finger percussing the body. I'm not going to ramble on here and give a too long review that many won't read. Let's cut to the chase. This is a Martin. A real Martin with all that that entails, for a low low price. If you are wanting to try guitar, this should probably be your first. If you are an enthusiast and want an everywhere guitar that has small, tight frets and good action that you can take anywhere and accidentally bang up a few times, get this guitar. Finally, if you are someone who likes guitar, get this guitar.

Surprisingly good

Bylithoson August 22, 2014

Verified Purchase

I have a Martin LXK2, and I thought this LX1 would be a nice addition to my travel guitars. The LXK2 is HPL (high pressure laminate) throughout, including the top. The LX1 has a solid spruce top, with HPL sides and back. I thought these guitars would be comparable, but cosmetically different. I was mistaken. This LX1 is remarkably better in tone, and I'm a bit sorry I even have the LXK2 (with the exception noted below). Of course, the LX1 doesn't sound like a full-sized Martin (of which I have several), but it's pretty darned good, and a marvelous travel and practice instrument. I'd still take the LXK2 camping or to any other higher risk environment; the laminate top of that one would probably be more resistant to dings and self-inflicted stupidity.

In the winter in this part of the country (Alabama) it gets awfully dry inside. In those conditions, all of my guitars (except the LXK2 but including the LX1) have Oasis humidifiers in them, and the LXK2 is the only one I let out of the case for any extended period.

Note: To make string changes easier, I replaced the tuning machines with Grover Roto-grips. As these guitars require medium gauge strings, it turns out the Roto-grips can't handle the thicker low E string. I had some regular Rotomatics laying around, and I used one of them for that string so they'd all be cosmetically similar. I can stand tying off one string the old-fashioned way.

Small hands? Try the Little Martin,

ByYossarianon February 5, 2015

Verified Purchase

I own a full body Harmony Sovereign H1260 and since I have small hands, it's always been tougher to play than I'd like. The sound is beautiful of course. But I got the Little Martin to accommodate my hands and body type. I have been pleased with the action and the sound. A 3/4 guitar will never outperform a full size, but since it's a Martin, the sound is great.

Great Little Guitar

Great little guitar, it is light weight and doesn't wear me out after singing and playing it for an hour at a time. Just exactly what I have been needing.

Great little guitar

ByKindle Customeron February 28, 2015

Verified Purchase

Just received this guitar. I put some new extra light martin strings on it and I love it. Fit and finish is great and I was very pleased with the warmth of tone and volume of such a small package. The action was great with no fret buzz. I would definitely replace it if something happened to this one.

A wonderful little Martin guitar. It's everything you'd expect from a Martin. Sounds great and workmanship (even though it's produced in Mexico, is top notch.

As usual this Martin came ready to play out of the box. It still sounds great after months of being stuffed into small spaces on an endless road trip. Great guitar.
