Great Sound - Fantastic Value
The Martin DX1 and its variants (DX1K and DX1M) have High-Pressure Laminate (HPL) sides and back but the top soundboard is solid spruce. This contributes to the big deep sound that comes from this guitar a sound that usually costs a lot more particularly in the Martin line. The HPL construction and 'Stratabond' laminate neck make this guitar not as attractive as solid wood instruments but the sound and playability are what you are getting. I love the sound and I love the fact that I don't have to baby this guitar like I would if it was all solid wood. This has to be about the plainest guitar I've ever seen with nary a single bit of trim or binding anywhere. The top is just beveled around the edge and that's it. I kind of like the clean plain look of this guitar but others have told me it looks cheap to them. It probably does but that's because all the money went into the sound! More detail ...
