This is a beautiful well made guitar that sounds and plays amazing. In my opinion this is the best acoustic out there in this price range.

When I opened the somewhat cheaply made case I instantly smelled the wood from the guitar. Awesome. The woods used to make up the guitar from the headstock to the body are just beautiful. Really nice to look at. I picked up the guitar and strummed it, almost fully tuned already. Way to go martin. I tuned it and starting strumming away. Blown away by the amazing sound, I was smiling so much my eyes were closed. This guitar has inspired me to write a couple new songs. It is my go to guitar and I couldn't ask for a better acoustic. The action is awesome. The sustain is great and there is no fret buzz on the upper frets. I can't say enough about this guitar. Premium quality instrument. If you like acoustics.. you should probably own this one.

this guitar sounds real good. it vibrates when you play it. love the feel of that. its a good rosewood guitar. dont pay attention to martin owners on forums who thumb their nose because they have more dress, maybe different bracing (from what they say anyway), and a lighter wallet. play this thing at a local music store and decide for yourself. i liked it the first note i played on it. i recorded a peice with it and it sounds great. very little done eq wise to achieve a great martin sound. the only thing i dont like is that it has a little bit to high action. that can be fixed. i would have liked it to be a little lower from the manufacturer. that said, you will not be disapointed. i recommend it.

Top quality guitar with very rich tone. Beautiful EI rosewood and top notch craftsmanship. Before buying I called Martin and was told that the custom shop builds these for GC and MF and they meet every quality criteria that all Martins do.....they would never put thier name on a "second grade" guitar.
I could have had a D-28 or any other model, but I chose the MMV. It was a 70th birthday present from my lovely wife.

I was looking to spend around $1500, so I went to the store with a blank mind, and decided I would just try them all, and buy what worked best for me. I spent maybe two hours annoying the staff while playing different guitars from Martin, Taylor, Breedlove, and Gibson. While I found some with better looks, or a little better tone, I kept coming back to this. It fits my hand so well, and it just plays great for me. The sound is smooth, and it projects very well. It's perfectly balanced in tone, if not a little more "bassy", and the volume you can get out of this is about as good as a true acoustic (I.E. not acoustic-electrid) will get. I did spend a little time with the D-28, and trying to pick out the tonal differences, but I honestly couldn't. It really is a D-28 for the less well-to-do. The finish is great. Very even, deep, and the woodgrain is gorgeous. It came with the hardcase, and man it's a good one. The fit is nice and snug, and the green interior just looks like class. And that's how I feel this guitar is overall... classy. Subdued looks, but very high quality parts, sound, finish, and feel.

This get's 5 stars both for quality AND value.

It appears to be perfect. I take lessons from a Martin Dealer and he will set it up if needed, or tell me what it might need.

this guitar had to be defective. The top looked like a factory reject. Can't believe Martin let this junk out of the shop.

I own several top of the line guitars including a Gretsch White Falcon and Gibson Songwriter, and now the Martin. They are all special in their own way. I grew up in a family of bluegrass musicians on a farm in the Ozarks. That's one of the reasons I wanted a Martin, and I find myself reaching for it first in most cases. It sort of takes me home again. As I said, the value of a guitar is intrinsic. I expect a lot from a guitar. The Mmv exceeds my expectations. It fits me well. It plays fast and easy. It's voice is pure and sweet. If you are shopping for an acoustic guitar, you won't find a better value. Nor will you find a better guitar than the Martin Mmv.
This is the second Martin I've owned, and there is something about this one that is beyond words. It's in the sound it produces, a full dynamic range of tones with unbelievable sustain. It's in the volume and presence of the sound. It's in the playability. The action is low and fast. The ebony fingerboard and satin mahogany neck are silky and pleasant to the touch. It's in the quality and the beauty of the wood: the Indian Rosewood and Sitka Spruce with flawless gloss finish. It's in the substance and feel of the guitar as it vibrates against your body. The gold tuners are a nice touch, and more important, the guitar stays in tune. It frets easily and accurately up and down the neck; I've checked it with a chromatic tuner. MF calls this the Mmv; the wood label on the inside says it is a custom model. It is about as close to a D-28 as you can come. And it is made in the U.S.A.
Everything about this guitar bespeaks quality. It is light but not too light. It has a substantial feel. All acoustic guitars require care and protection from abuse and extremes in humidity and temperature, but some are more durable than others. There is a real sense that this guitar will endure and improve with age.
It is not easy and maybe not even appropriate to rate the value of a guitar by its price. The greater value is intrinsic. That said, this is a lot of guitar for the money. You could easily pay twice as much for similar quality.
