Exceeds expectations

I've always wanted to own a Martin but thought they were way beyond what I could afford, at least the ones I've had the pleasure to play. Then I found the 000CX1E. This is a quality guitar at an unbelievable price. I also own a Taylor 214CE. The sound is more mellow than the crisp, treble tone of the Taylor, which is a great contrast and what I was looking for. It doesn't matter to me where it's made (Mexico), it's still a Martin and made to their specifications. Factor in it's sound, smell and price, and you have an amazing guitar. Aso, the Fishman pick-up/tuner is far superior to the one in my Taylor. For anyone who thinks they have to pay hundreds of dollars more for a decent Martin, think again. This guitar is far better than its price would suggest.

Best Guitar Ever

I have two of these Martin 000cx1e acoustic guitars, as well as three other Martin models. I am a 52 year old singer and soloist since age 9. Let me tell you that this, the X series guitars are made in the U.S., at the famous Martin factory in Nazareth, Pennsylvania, NOT in Mexico.(Other reviewers are confusing this with the Little Martin Series, and/or the Backpacker.) If anyone wants to own the very finest guitar on the planet Earth, they need a C.F. Martin & Co. acoustic guitar. This Martin X Series uses non-traditional bullet-proof materials for the body, neck, and fretboard. This one has an excellent solid spruce top. The precision is absolute. The tone is superb, with TONS of bass. It booms. The quality, flawless. An errorproof purchase. Enjoy!

Reviewer's Play Style: blues ,rock ,new country

Nice little gtr , sounds great next to my 97 taylor 714 cedar top. Sounds like a martin w.o. the boomy low mids of a dreadnaught. Plays well, no buzzing or fretting out on bends. Came out of the box in tune all though a few cents shy of std. Looks great & smells great!

One of the best acoustic guitars I've ever played. Incredible tone and projection. Mine is one of the new ones made in Mexico and is just perfect! Don't let the labels or price tags fool you... listen with your ears, not with your eyes... great guitar, so far so good, beautiful sound when plugged in as well!

Good job Martin!

I've had this about a year. If you're looking for a somewhat bright sound, easy playability, great plugged in and acoustic sound...this is your guitar. Very crisp sound, strong mids, beautifully made. No gripes at all, couldn't tell it was MIM. I've gigged a good amount with this, working my way to a D35 or a Hummingbird, but this will do for a few years more!
