    Comments about Martin DX1AE Custom X Series Acoustic-Electric Guitar:

    i actually like the plain jane looks. no edge binding or inlays, but still looks like a beautiful, quality instrument. the solid spruce top gives you a loud, full tone. sounds like a martin, at an entry level price. it does in fact have a truss rod, after 2006 they are buried deep in the hole, you need a 5 inch wrench to get to it. made in mexico, but who cares? i'm not a huge fan of the fishman pickup, but that's really just nitpicking. it's a martin. buy one.
