    I tried about 75 billion six hundred and thirty three Martins (give or take...)

    There were only two I really liked and a few I thought were ok.

    The J40 is beautiful in my H op. But too expensive for what it is. I also really liked the C1 which is something altogether different from their usual line.

    All the rest are very average I think.

    So I went and ordered a Maton EBG808. Now THAT is a nice guitar and faaaaaaar better value than a Martin.

    I've a martin ceo-4 I picked up in the states a few years back. Love it to bits. Lovely tone. Has a lot of bass though so it's tough to amplify.
