Pros & Cons
Pros
It all comes down to the bracing patterns, the radius of the back and top, and other internal details. The quality is jut top notch. The bridge is wide and the braced resonant.
The lx1 sounds great and is easy to play. In fact for me, it is perfect as i'm petite. I’m a grown man who’s played a full sized martin since i was a teenager. The little martin is ultra portable, with a surprising substantial feel.
The sounds is crisp. It’s weird to hear such a big, booming sound coming out of this little fellow. The sound is great for the size and easy to get in a car packed with baby gear.
The gs mini is much better than some less costly ones. The lx1 is fine for that purpose.
It comes with a vinal case, i recommend you get a hard shell. Comes with steel strings and the bag. Martin logo embroidered in gold. Made in nazareth.
Cons
The top on my martin split in the middle of the lower bout, from the bridge to the end and ihad to glue it back together. The martin has cheap die cast tuners, and a finger rash problem. Disappointed in quality of tone.

Price

Shipping
It was delivered about 3 days later
For sending this guitar to deployed soldiers us army in combat zone
Packaging/appearance
It arrived in perfect condition in a guitarshaped box for minimal jostling during transit
It was in a double thick box and within a gig bag
I was a little worried because the box i received was a bit beat up and had been retaped
Delighted with the buy but when i saw the case which is really a gig bag wow
Competitiveness
Ive done extensive comparisons between the lx1 lxm and lxk guitars
You cannot compare any small bodied guitar with a d series guitar or classical guitar
Second ive seen several reviews that compare this guitar with other body classes such as dreadnoughts and classical guitars
I compared it to fender acoustics and yamaha acoustics in the same price range and this martin was a touch smaller i was only p... Read More

Although it is really an attractive neck in its own right it is a bit heavy and to my thinking is the only downside in terms of design
