Martin GPCPA Mahogany Performing Artist Series Acoustic Guitar

ya it's actually a gloss finish.but i don't think that's it. i think think the european spruce top is really sensitive to even slight humidity changes . i 've owned many guitars over the last 50 years but never had one that was this sensitive. but it sounds brilliant if the humidity it really low! still love playing it tho!

bought one of these a couple of months ago. love playing it. a thing i'm finding peculiar about this guitar tho is that the tone of the guitar seems to change depending on the humidity conditions. if its humid it seems to lose the trebles and have more of a muddy sound. i'm curious if any one else finds this with this guitar.

@mambowman it's satin finished and made of wood... everything made of wood changes with humidity.

Good guitar, although I'd rather get a Taylor 114CE or 214CE, looks and sounds better to my ears. This sounds a bit too muffled and the headstock in too plain.

@yekshemesh4alig I think that's more the mic.  But then again I think Taylors are tinny, so to each their own.
