Picked up my D-16GT today!

This thing is amazing! People on here have complained about some of the factory Martin setups before, but this thing is setup great. The action is quite low and not a string buzz anywhere. It sounds incredible as well. Quite a step up from my old Tak.

I traded in my old Takamine EG334C and got 4 lessons included for $650 from a really cool local shop.

I can't wait to get home from work and start playing

i dont get why people bash factory setups, if it isnt great, who cares? how hard is it to lower the action and adjust the truss rod? also most stores will do that free when you buy it.

well, sometimes the problem is more serious, like a misadjusted nut or bridge. thos require special tools and lots of knowledge and some skill to fix.

it was three diff songs... phunkiphied (hence the open hand) when my hand is at the twelfth frett and my right hand is on the strings. then the 41 chord when my hand is chording and my right is on the strings, and then part of my original seagull when my right hand is away from the strings and my left is on the 12th harmonic
