Reviews of the Best Martin Acoustic Guitars!Like any guitarist, I had heard of Martin Acoustic Guitars. But until I started my search for the perfect acoustic, I had never actual played one. Let me tell you something straight up; there are very few guitars that can compare either in tone or quality of construction to Martin Acoustic Guitars. For more information and a review of each model, click the links below:
Getting to Know MartinI know - that sounds like the title of a TV series, doesn’t it? Or at least the title of a book. The thing is that when I hold a Martin Guitar in my hands I can’t help but be amazed that I’m holding the product of a company that has been in business for over 200 years!If there is any one truth about guitar companies, it is that they come and go depending on the leadership and business acumen of the people who run them. When it comes to Martin Guitars, however, it is the quality of the instruments (combined with the fact that it is still run by the multi-great grandson of the founder) that has kept it going through all the ups and downs of the guitar market over the last two centuries.
The Quality of Martin Acoustic Guitars
Of course the number of pennies that you are going to pay for a top quality Martin guitar can be rather daunting. The HD-28 (which is considered to be one of the best sounding Martin’s on the market) can cost you nearly $3,000. This is about the same price as a Gibson Hummingbird (another excellent guitar). While there are other guitar companies (such as Seagull, Washburn and some Takamine’s) which make quality guitars with solid tops and bodies at a lower price, there is also the issue of resale value. The Decision to Buy a MartinMartin guitars are a known quantity. Just like a Gibson guitar, a Martin can be resold for a significant portion of the original cost if the need should ever arise. In fact, the longer you keep your Martin guitar the better the chance of you actually being able to get more for it on resale than you originally paid for it. Martin’s are considered to be just that good. Of course you are not going to want to sell your Martin. Not only are they well-made and play beautifully, they are also stunning to look at. In fact, the aesthetic beauty of Martin Guitars is only outshone by the way that they sound when you play them.So in the end, the decision of whether or not to buy one of the Martin Acoustic Guitars will rest entirely on your shoulders. It may technically be out of your budget. But if you consider the fact that it is not just an investment in your music but also a financial investment for the future, you may see your way clear to buying one after all. If you do, it will be a decision you will never regret.
