i dont like the ed...better u just buy a regular LX1.
i interested in the artificial top one, ie. LXM.
only little martin signature i like is the elvis...but that one limited edition and from couple yrs ago...price wasnt tht worth it then...tho now somehow i still want it...cock.

Lxm.. i was initially upset by the hpl top. Because for the price i feel solid top will be worthy. But seem, it has very positive review. Should get one day down to GC to have a try.

By the way, all these 3/4 size guitar don have tone bars bracing at the lower bout. Bridge lift is kinda command.

Lastly, welcome to Martin.

ya, LXM has a much warmer / less brighter tone.
bridge lift isnt really an issue with LXM since the top is also HPL.

ok, nm.
seems the bridge lift only affected older HPL models, apparently fixed now as they changed the adhesive for the bracing.

Wah.. this ia cheap.. tomolo ia holiday... finger crossing....

This thread wouldn't be right without pictures;

that guitar isnt right...i remember seeing it here brand new for around rm3.5k

I would suggest thread starter make this thread to 3/4 guitar thread. Else to find only Martin is hard. To gather acoustic player itself is hard enough.. not to mention only certain brand + model. Anyway.. just to share another deal from tgs. And only today..

3/4 size also got tanglewood.
then there is one cheap china one, cant recall what its called but rm200+ and sounds pretty decent.

3/4 guitars can never be right, not matter how good the quality is. They exist just for fun.

The cheap china one I believe is L.Luthier? But that one is made in Malaysia if am not mistaken.

obviously its not for fun for ed sheeran

the 3/4 cheap one is not LL, some unheard of one...

It's still for fun for him, just that it got him paid well.

And Martin took the opportunity the moment they see it, and boom! Ed Sheeran Little Martin signature.

diff tone, diff feel...whos to say it cannot be used for recordings...
