Feature:
The light weight hard shell case that came with the guitar is awesome, and includes a hyrometer built in!
Quality:
I have the satin finish model – and the finish is flawless. All the components look top notch and I expect it to last a long time.
Value:
For the money, it’s a sweet deal. I bought it so I could “semi-retire” my antique Martin D28 and protect it from damage on the job. For most applications, the Masterbilt sounds as good, and sure plays much easier.
Sound:
This guitar has deep, loud, and mellow sound.
Ease of Use:
Out of the box, the action was high, and hard to play. I had it tweaked by a local dealer who is an expert. When it came back, it played like a dream, with NO loss of volume or overall tone.
Support:
I’ve had no need to contact the company.
The AP-STD II is a value-price parlor guitar with a very big sound. With a lightly longer scale length than the AP-DLX, this great guitar has a tight low end and a very chimey top.

The DXM looks like almost any other acoustic guitar. But the similarity stops there. It has a beautiful tone, great projection, and subtle but strong resonance.

it’s fine.
Quality:
3 years and still in great shape adn I play hard.
Sound:
It sounds better than any other guitar in it’s price range. You’d have to spend atleast 600-700 to get anything close to the sound you get with this guitar with any other brand. I’ve had it for 3 years and it still sounds great.
Support:
I hear good things.. i’ve never needed support.

Overall:
I’m keeping this forever, and I’m not currently looking for another guitar. But this feels better and better to play every time I pick it up.
The DX1 dreadnought acoustic blends the tonal character and volume of a Solid Spruce soundboard with the consistency, durability and reflectivity of a Mahogany pattern HPL back and sides with a textured finish.

This will last you until you save up for your martin, guild, or gibson. for 1000+ $
Sound:
I got one of these back in about 97 or 98 when i was but a teenager. I have beat it, kicked it, scratched it, thrown it, put stickers on it, etc. They used to be a bit more expensive back then i think around 250$ or so. Anyways, i just took this in to have a couple frets sanded down, this guitar will not fail you.. these puppies were built to last.. and stand the abuse.. and still sound pretty damn nice.. you wont find a better guitar for this price.
Overall:
get it now.

No Accesories to mention
Quality:
Quality is awesome with one exception. The Martin logo is just some gold letters that somehow adhere to the wood and has started to come off. That really blows. But I can live with it.
Value:
This product was well worth the price and I was surprised at the low price compared to the High quality of the sound and as well as the great look of this particular instrument.
Desirability:
It has an awesome look and the wood grain stands out.
Sound:
Full Tone. Goes great with the all songs I play. Have to Takamines it is better than both. And I hold them in high regard. Picked this over a Taylor it was so similar in sound and ease to play. Price was much more reasonable as well. I am very particular and expect a smooth full sound when playing.
Ease of Use:
Sounds great plugged or not. I added a Humbucking pickup. I get compliments on the sound of this guitar every time i play.
Support:
Have not attempted to get support.
Overall:
I will not search for a replacement. Would be hard to find for the value. May purchase another at some point.
