I’ve had a lot of bad experiences with travel guitars, mostly involving intonation problems and sloppy workmanship. This time around, I bought a Little Martin LX1RE and I had a PROPER setup done. I can’t overstate the importance of a setup. I had the shop install new high-quality tuners as well as a new nut, saddle, and bridge pins and a new set of strings. They also adjusted the action/neck relief and dressed the frets. Now it plays and feels great. It will never replace a $2,000 guitar but that’s okay. I actually enjoy playing it! It’s a great little guitar. One final suggestion. There is an actual Martin hardshell case that is made for the LX1 series. If you plan on traveling with yours, invest in a hardshell case. Don’t get on a plane or train with a gig bag. Okay, that’s it. Make music and have fun!

I'm thinking to purchase a 3/4 guitar and was deciding between Baby Taylor and Little Martin LX1RE (even after trying it at the shop). But this kind of solidified my opinion on the Martin. The sound feels richer and better resonated than the Taylor IMO. Not to mention these tunes are so pretty ;w; thank you!

I’m looking into travel size or 3/4 guitar. I have played GS mini and Taylor Big baby. But I am curious how Martin’s travel guitars are compare to Taylor’s. I know there are many videos out there comparing the two. But your style of playing similar to my playing the most. I’m wondering if you can share your opinions about comparing Martin’s small guitars that you have with Taylor’s ones and/or other small guitars?

@JonIsJustTooLoud 4 года назад

They are both generally good. But somehow i find the Martins to be more resonant✌♥

@stevenhenry8374 4 года назад

I should have said that when I bought my LMX1 I tried several others after all initially this was going to be my travel guitar ..(.even one night in a hotel room is too long without a guitarwithin reach )...at that time there was limited options but the most notable was a taylor,and nice as it was your word expressed my first imoression because compared to tge full rich sound of the Martin I felt it sounded thin....interestingly my latest LX1AE doesnt have the richness of the first despite a spruce top over the previous laminate....I'm so hoping the luthier can remedy that because although I still have the original one the top warped and lifted the bridge and whilst after some glue it plays but structually it has suffered soundwise...as the action is higher I now use it mainly with slide

@JonIsJustTooLoud 4 года назад

@mfallen4277 4 года назад

It doesn't seem like these little guitars have a truss rod like a normal Martin, but they actually do. For some reason it is deeply recessed in the cavity so the standard 5mm allen keys that work for pretty much every other acoustic will not reach it. Search ebay or Amazon for a long 5mm hex as you can get them for a couple bucks. If a proper truss adjustment doesn't fix the buzz I'd use a straight edge to see if any of the upper frets are either not seated properly or need polished/filed. Definitely make sure the neck is straight and not upwardly warped at the heel on up. Meaning if you bought the guitar recently and a truss adjustment &/or saddle height being too low is not the culprit, I'd just return it especially if the neck/fretboard are warped. You'd end up paying more for a proper neck resetting than you paid for the guitar

Hey Jonathan, Just moved to Singapore and thinking of buying a Guitar over here. Wanted to get the LX1E Because of Ed Sheeran, but City Music also recommended the Dreadnought Junior. Which would you recommend? My budget is around 650 SGD, So it's right on the sale price right now. Or at this price range would you recommend a full size guitar? I'm not looking for only a Travel guitar, Just thought of the LX1E Because of Ed (huge fan) and working from there. Although Since I'm an expat here keeping it travel sized might be better, but not a big deal if I'm getting a better deal with a bigger sized guitar
