My favourite Martin is the d42. This one just has what I like in terms of wood selection and build quality. This one has the special trim too. I like the fingerboard inlays as well.

I have a Martin Special D16 rosewood and an Alvarez MD60BG.

I have several electric guitars

My favourite guitar is the d35. This one just hits it out of the park in terms of overall sound, especially the Brazilian rosewood ones. I’ve had quite a few other d28s from the 1950s and 1950s but found that they lacked something. I think the d35 just has what the other guitars lack

I like the Martin d18 the best. This is the work horse guitar that just keeps on going

I like the Martin d-42 a lot. It sounds great and I do like the bling, especially when it is built by Americans

@jerseychicadee Wish we lived closer, then you could try out this 2008 Martin Custom D I've had since 2011. It's a more than decent guitar - it is a Martin, after all - but I had always wanted a D-18 or a D-28, so I got the D-18 last spring.

Bought the Custom D used for $750 in 2011 but will probably list it for less than that. It has an after market pickup in it, for what it's worth. I rarely plugged in this guitar and always just played it acoustically. Rosewood back and sides with a spruce top, I believe, but I'd have to check on that, and made in the USA.

Think I'm going to put it up on Craigslist in April. We're going to Vegas to celebrate hubby's retirement and we need some gambling $$$. LOL

I’d love to have a nice Martin. Of course, the ones I like are 3-5 k or more.

My Martin is a DM. It was the first guitar that I had ever picked up. I've read that it can be upgraded to sound more like the D-18. I think it was meant to be a cheaper version of the D-18. So far I still like it. At my skill level my problem is not an equipment issue.

Most of the small music stores have been bought out by a larger chain but I have found them to be very knowledgeable ...after I bought the D16 I saw that there might have been 10 left right across Canada.
