NGD: Martin DSS-17
Picked this one up used for my 40th birthday and 20th year picking guitar. I’ve been playing more acoustic the last couple years and my beater Fender just isn’t doing what I want anymore. I’ve been window shopping and testing out different brands and models when possible(I’m rural and the closest decent shop is 2 hours away). I was wanting a cutaway model and was down to a SC-13 or GPC-13. This was posted online with no pics at a smaller shop just outside the city so I tested those two again on the way and went to see this thinking I’d come back and get either of the 13s. I was wrong. I fell in love at first strum. My only complaint was no electronics but for the price difference between it and the other 2 models, I can justify the finest aftermarket ones. All told, I am a very satisfied first time Martin owner!
