Likes: The sound i wanted to hear was in my head before I went guitar shopping back in 1987. I played no less than 25 different guitar models. When I strummed the J-40, it had "that sound". After 20 years it's still the best sounding acoustic I've ever played.
Dislikes: not enough time to play as much as i like.

Like about the Martin J40: Full rich and incredibly balanced
Dislike about the Martin J-40: There is nothing to dislike about this instrument
Additional Comments: I own nearly a dozen Martins and two "boutique" guitars. This Martin is a dream come true. A strum across all six strings exhibits a perfect balance of volume and lush tone. If I could keep just one guitar, this would be the one. I wish I had had the opportunity to try one years ago.
Like about the Martin J-40: Bought it in 1990, and it has become a great old friend. It has been refinished, has a new saddle, and has been refretted 3 times since then, and it just keeps getting better. It has seen countless stages and crowds, as well as most of my lows and highs. If I could speak to the me about to purchase this guitar 17 years ago, I'd say I was about to make the right choice.

Like about the Martin J40: Exceptional all round sound quality for differnt style.
Dislike about the Martin J-40: Should be built with compensated saddle.
Additional Comments: Have taken it to guitar builders for refret, saddle work, accessories, etc. They advise me that it is one of the best, they've played.

Like about the Martin J40: The sound is outstanding. I own a Gibson J200, cannot match the quality. I owned a Gibson Hummingbird, junk compared to the Martin J40. I own a Martin HD28, Comparable in quality but not near as deep and mellow in the low ranges.
Dislike about the Martin J-40: Ain't got none!

Like about the Martin J40: A beautiful, full-sounding guitar, matching the looks and sound of the more expensive D45 with a fuller, mellow tone. A great, great instrument, especially for the price! I love it!
