Garrett Gentle

I'm a hobbyist musician. Have been playing guitar on and off since I was a kid. Have only owned 1 *acoustic* guitar before this (a $300 Fender Acoustic-Electric), and have gotten to play on probably under 50 unique acoustic guitars in total. With that said, this is the best quality acoustic guitar I have ever played, let alone owned, especially for the $700 prize point. I'm a bit biased since I've always wanted to own a Martin brand guitar, but It absolutely has lived up to the reputation. Have owned it for a only around 3 or 4 years now. It has a full sound, perfect balance between warm and present, stays in tune for months, and plays well outdoors, indoors, mic'd, and direct line in. Feels solid in my arms, no wiggle room, fragile feeling parts, or cheap qualities. Has taken one or two bonks like a champ. Comfortable to hold, even more comfortable to listen to.
