I like the looks, although it isn't "glitzy." It's a tenor, so it's a good size, and, of course, the sound from any martin is beautiful. I seldom take my Iz out of the house because I don't want to get it damaged in any way, but it sound great in my living room.
I got mine from Elderly last year, and they included my choice of a case. The salesman offered me four, and he recommended the Ameritage ($250). When I placed the order, the manager emailed me and said I would have to pay the difference for that expensive case. I showed him the email from the salesman, and he let me have it with the uke.
