Sean from Eau Claire reviews their MacKenzie and Marr Tofino X

I am absolutely the average MMG buyer being 59 years old with decades of playing acoustic guitar using other brands. I have owned and played dozens of brands including Martin, Larrivee, Gibson, Taylor, Santa Cruz, Garrison, Takamine, Froggy Bottom etc.... So many guitars costing lots more. Over the years, I have actually spent several thousand dollars for a few of these guitars. I no longer own any really expensive guitars since world wide guitar making has improved by leaps and bounds in my opinion.

I was not really expecting that much when ordering this Tofino X. I currently have a Martin, Yamaha and Faith guitars that sound great. Imagine my surprise when I unboxed this and realized that it sounds great. This guitar is evenly balanced and perfect intonation and playability up all frets. The playability is hard to describe. It just plays more easily then two of my recent favorites. For a new guitar it also sounds fairly open with great sustain. Very easy action set at a great height for my light flatpicking. The guitar is also very light weight compared to many guitars that I have owned. It fits very comfortably on my lap. The cedar top is also beautiful and does not seem to mellow or muddle the projection as some cedar top do. In fact, it almost sounds like a sitka top even though it is clearly a cedar top when looking at it.

After playing several hours over a few days I would recommend this Tofino X to any acoustic guitar player. I would certainly put its sound and playability on level with any of the high end guitars I have owned and my other current favorites. The price point is utterly amazing in terms of this flawless tone and ease of play. Hoping to be a repeat customer if the right model comes out. I am a very happy customer. I am also a bit disappointed by a popular acoustic forum website that degrades these Mackenzie/ Marr guitars. Guitar snobbery is still present and thriving so it seems. Solid value here.
