Martin J-40
Sorry, this guitar is no longer available. This guitar has been replaced with the Martin J-40 (2018).
J40 First impressions
I've just received a new J40. It's either a 2016 or 2017. The following are my initial impressions. I'll come back at a later date for a more in depth review.
Physical appearance - absolutely stunning. Fit and finish are perfect.
Sound/Tone - Huge, a bit bass heavy, but overall quite balanced. There is a lot of headroom. You don't have to have a heavy hand to get the sound and volume you want. Since it's brand new, I've not yet dug into the strings, so more on the down the road.
Playability - It's a Martin. I think that sums it up nicely. It may need a tiny tweak on the truss, but overall it plays easily and the intonation is spot on.
I'll be back after the honeymoon period is over.
