Re: Epiphone Dove vs Martin DX1

Completely a matter of personal choice.  Generally Martin is considered a "premium" guitar and Epiphones are considered a "discount" guitar, but there is a whole, whole, whole lot of overlap between those categories such that they're meaningless except at the extremes. 

Play them both.  Buy the one that you like better and that fits you better.  And don't be afraid to try a bunch of other guitars too.
