Have you held one in your hands yet @BobbyJ and played it🤔? If so and you like it, then absolutely YES👍. If not, then considering that the back & sides are HPL and not solid wood, I would also consider other brands in that price range. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a satisfied Martin owner (I’ve owned 2), and each time I did my comparisons (live, not on line) the Martin won out based (IMHO) on sound, playability and materials/craftsmanship. But after reading the specs on the X Series Martins, I would still consider other brands. My brother-in-law bought a Breedlove (in that exact price range) and I was really impressed with the sound (unplugged & plugged) as well as the craftsmanship – I’m not saying get a Breedlove, I’m just saying that you may want to explore other options in that price range and see what kind of “bang for the buck” you might be able to find🤩
