Subject: RE: Tech: The New Martin 1 Series
My mate in the band I am in has one. It cost him about £600 (or equivalent as he bought it in France). Plays very well, pretty loud but not harsh and has the strange looking compound neck mentioned previously. Personally I like it even though I am a J45 type of person, it isn't Martin-ish in that it isn't as crisp but has a real pleasant boomy base nicely balanced by the top end.

Budget in appearance but definately from a good stable, tunes easily and all the tonics ring true. Well worth a punt at the price in my opinion.
