    Travel guitar or guitar for someone with small hands
    The product description is not totally true. The weight of the guitar is 3lbs 10oz.The dimensions of the guitar (not including the case) are 34 x 12.5 x 3.5 inches.If you are a beginner and can afford it, this is the best guitar. If you're intermediate and want to travel with, it's a decent guitar. It sounds good only with an AMP. If you're a gig performer, I'd recommend you're better off with a Yamaha FXG.

    I am in love. In play every chance I get.
    It arrived on time and in perfect condition.
    The size is perfect for me without giving up any quality of sound... plus this model can be used acoustic or electrically amplified.
    Definitely would recommend this Martin.. for any seasoned guitar players to have a portable outlet for easy take along for playing anywhere... or for anyone.
    Thank you

    Reviewed in Canada on September 18, 2020
    Love this little Martin!
    First real acoustic was a Taylor 414ce in 2011.
    Second acoustic was a Martin dreadnaught junior sapele w pick up.
    I’m only 5’4 and enjoy playing and singing live either plugged in or not.
    This little Martin is awesome for playing around! I have it in my office and feel good knowing it’s high pressure laminate and can withstand some heat/humidity change. Durable!
    Looks great, sounds very nice with spruce top.
    I love it! So glad I purchased. Also glad to have my dreadnaught junior as it has more boom being a bigger guitar.
    FYI if you don’t get a chance to try this ahead of time, the neck width and fret spacing is a bit tight, I have small hands so I love it but takes a bit of adjusting from a regular size acoustic.
    If you have any questions or want more video just ask a question and I’ll see email update!
