 My Favorite Guitar November 9, 2009

I bought the Koa Little Martin about 3 years ago for my kids to learn on. Guess who's been playing it....ME! I was waiting in line at a music store to buy some small item and saw the Little Martin sitting on a guitar stand nearby. I picked it up while I was waiting and was so impressed with the wonderful tone, action, and playability from such a small guitar that I bought it right on the spot.
Less than a year from when I bought the Little Martin the top started to separate from the right side body panel. It would have been still under warranty had I registered it, my other acoustic guitars (Ovations) are over 20 years old and I have never had any structural problems with them so I didn't expect any problems with the Little Martin. So I ended up paying for the repair myself.
I truly love this guitar and keep it out on a guitar stand and use it regularly for practicing. I must pick it up and play a bit whenever I walk by. I do recommend it to many people.
It is overall very good quality and stays in tune. A nice plus is that it comes with a good quality padded gig bag.
 Great Travel Guitar...for a Year July 28, 2008

Great travel guitar - for a year. I have taken it all over the world and loved playing it. Good sound quality and volume( for a small guitar)
Recently (16 months after purchase) the top has separated from the side body panels, requiring significant repair (the guitar has not been dropped or damaged). When contacted Martin said it has a 1 year, NOT 16 month warranty. Hard to think of anything with the Martin name as disposable, but the LXM may not be a guitar for the long haul.
 Very versatile, great value November 15, 2007

I've owned the Martin LXM now for several years and it's an amazing little guitar. It's far superior to the Baby Taylor in my opinion. It holds tuning like a rock and since it's mostly made of composite materials, it isn't as sensitive to temperature and humidity changes. It's a great guitar to travel with and always sounds wonderful. It has a very warm, balanced tone. It's obviously not as loud as a full-sized guitar or a real wood counterpart, but it makes up for that with a really great sound that doesn't favor highs over lows or vice-versa. The laminated neck is really heavy and gives you an unparalleled amount of sustain for a guitar this size.
About the only thing I can say is that while the quality seems very consistent, if you're very picky, and have a chance to play among several of these guitars, do that. I've handled some that play better than others, but they all play very very well.
