MartinSemi Acoustic Guitar D-10E Road Series - Natural Sapele - Softshell Case

I love this guitar! The sound is deep and full. The materials are good quality, you can even smell that Sapele when you open the case. The price makes this my first entry into the Martin Market and I’m an instant fan. Great instrument and well packed for shipping.

Guitar sounds nice and looks nice, but the action is way too high right out of the box. The strings are over 1/4" off the fret board starting around the 12th fret and up. For $800 it should be set up properly. Other than strumming a few open chords I haven't played it much since I got it because it's practically unplayable on the higher frets.When you buy this guitar prepare to restring it and adjust the neck on your own, or take it for a setup and pay another $50 to $100.

Great guitar if you have small hands. The tumor and pick up work well. Great sound for the money.

Nice sounding instrument. Am most pleased. Do replace the strings though

I have to replace the nut and saddle, because action is not consistent. In general main materials are good for value, but guitar needs to be professionally setup with a few of the low cost replacements. Nut, saddle, bridge pins should all be upgraded,
