If you prefer a bigger-bodied acoustic electric guitar but still want that iconic Martin tone for less than $500, then the Special Dreadnought X1AE could be right up your street. The construction is identical to the 000 - Spruce and HPL - but the roomy body shape lends itself to accentuated bass and low-mid response. If a massive tone sounds good to you, then this Martin is your number one choice this President's Day.
