Through mу job I hаνе gotten a discount οn Martin Guitars, аnd I wаѕ wondering whаt exact model ѕhουld I bυу? I used tο play fοr fun a couple years ago аnd gеt thе basics. I саn play аbουt 10 songs frοm ѕtаrt tο fіnіѕh, bυt want a more quality guitar. Anу hеlр….thanks!
Just about any Martin will kick @ss, but which one you should buy is an individual decision. Here’s what you should do:
Go to a music store and play all the Martin models they have. Does any one of them feel better than the others?
Then have someone play all of the acceptable Martin models while your back is turned. This will give you an idea about different general tone characteristics–tho’ that’s not definite, because there are variations in wood grain and manufacture that make different guitars of the same model sound a little different (sometimes lots different).
But that should guide you in choosing the Martin of your personal dreams.

You just can’t go wrong with a Martin. Try them all and see what you like and what fits your style.
I like their six-strings better than their twelve strings.
Head over here too and you can usually get a really good deal. I’ve gotten two guitars from here within the last year…
