Thats the first guitar i ever had and i wish i still had it today. The quality is very good for not being a solid wood construction. I now own a 514ce and a 710 LTD which are both "higher end" guitars, but i would love to still have the martin to mess around with... maybe leave it in drop-d or raised b or something.

spoiled my ass, I have a Martin DX-1 and won't be getting another for atleast another year/year and a half and it'll be a d-35
The d35 is defineately worth the wait. I think I have posted this before but since you are in Jersey you should defineately do the Martin factory tour and check out Nazareth Music Center - great selection and prices.

I don't even have a job as of now(only 16 and it's a bitch to find a job) so it's gonna take me a hell of a long time to save up even close to enough money for it. Thanks for the tips, though!

I purchased a Martin D-16gt just after Christmas and its one of the best investments I've ever made. All my camp fire listening friends agree that it sounds great, and I can stihl smell the Mahogany through the sound hole. IMO buy the best guitar you can afford, you wont regret it...TREE
