 SK>> I love my Martin 6 string!

 SK>> It's a DX1 Dreadnought.

 RW> SAme model here. Love mine, great sound! Plays nice.

Really! Cool.

Yeah, it's a nice "machine".
It RANG in my ear the first time I picked it up.

 SK>> The mysterious "they" say it's a cheaper guitar because it's
 SK>> composite...but I find this thing perfect (in price and quality).

 RW> IT has held up for me well even if it is composite
 RW> construction.

Actually, I've heard (from no one in particular) that the composite is apt to 
endure for quite a while.

I see zero neck arch over the time I've had mine.

 RW> Granted, it's been babied though, gets moved
 RW> in a hard shell case, etc. I use Martin amrquis lights to
 RW> string it.

I use an Martin Acoustic SP (light) set.

 RW> Usually my preferred capture technqieu for recording it is a small
 RW> diaphragm condenser mic aimed at where the neck joins
 RW> the body.

I don't record. At least much any more. I got all my junk stolen a while back. 
I had EVERYTHING!

It's sad.
