Bought a used one a month ago. Pretty impressed so far. It is loud. It's crisp, but has a lot of base and a satisfying sustain. I probably should have done more comparison shopping, but my 68 Gibson Southern Jumbo needed a friend. Very different than the Gibson. I just figured I couldnt go wrong with a Martin, and other reviews were very good. I think its a good deal for the money. I paid $600.

MARTIN J-1 (1 SERIES)

Martin J-1, jumbo acoustic guitar

MARTIN began making the J-1 in 1997 as part of the Martin 1-Series. The J-1 blended the Jumbo body size with the features and appointments of Martin's popular D-1 guitar. The J-1 was constructed with a solid Sitka spruce top, laminated mahogany sides, a solid mahogany back and mahogany neck. The 20 fret neck joined the body at the 14th fret. It came in a natural satin finish with Honey Gold toner on top. Optional gloss finish was available at additional charge.
