Here's a review: "I’ve played guitar for 15 years and I own a Martin HD28V, D16RGT, and 000 18. I played this guitar for about 5 min. at the Martin Factory in PA. I thought an Aluminum top would sound terrible, and I was right. This guitar sounds awful! Even with new strings and proper setup, this guitar sounds like a $150.00 Laminate special. I’d describe the tone as Tinny and weak. The action of the guitar was very good, and the quality of finish was first class, everything was perfect constructed. Metal guitars are not the future; there are plenty of responsible ways to construct guitars from traditional materials. If you need a green friendly/tree free guitar, look at a Rain Song, All carbon fiber, they sound great, or an Ovation, wood tops, but composite back sides and sometimes neck. Martin disappoints me greatly with this embarrassing guitar."
