I was looking for a Baby Taylor when I came across this little mini Martin guitar. I liked the description and the price was reasonable, so I bought it. It was delivered about 3 days later. I was pleased with it's general appearance, and after adjusting the strings over time, I found it to hold it's tune, with a subtle but rich tone for such a small guitar. It even came with a very nice, well made gig bag. The only drawback was that I was afraid it was "too" small. I used to own a Baby Taylor and this Martin was a bit smaller than that. I must admit that I haven't played a guitar in several years, and my fingers have gotten a little "sausagey". But I think it'll be ok. With a little practice and some stretching exercises I'll be just fine.
As far as recommending this guitar, I would do so without hesitation. I love the sound, the size, the style. Unless you have ham hocks for hands or still sleep in a crib, this little Martin and it's gig bag makes a really good go anywhere, anytime, fun little guitar for just about any age, beginner or accomplished performer.

The LX1 sounds great and is easy to play. I watched several video comparisons with the LX1 versus the other HPL-top Little Martins and felt the LX1 sounded too bright, almost annoyingly bright. Don’t be fooled. In person, this little guy sounds beautiful and I’m glad I went with the solid top. I was a little worried because the box I received was a bit beat up and had been retaped. It looked like a return, but thankfully the guitar was flawless. It came with medium gauge strings and stays in tune well - even after being carried around in its gig bag. The top has no finish so the oils from your strumming arm will soak in and start to become visible unless you wipe it down after playing.
