10 out of 10
Feature:
The features are all there. The Onboard EQ is very useful and the gold tuners hold it in tune and make a nice appealing touch.
Quality:
VERY WELL MADE GUITAR. The spruce top and Ovangkol back and sides are top of the line woods that really let your guitar sing. Unlike alot of Taylor guitars, this guitar feels very strong and i believe it will last me a long time.
Value:
Sticker price is 900 dollars, the retail price is 630. After i traded my old acoustic in.. it only cost me 250 dollars. THATS A GREAT VALUE!
Desirability:
Beautiful guitar. Gold tuners, Abalone Rosette.. very very appealing to the eye.
Sound:
The sound of this guitar is flat out amazing. I mean it doesnt necessarily compare to a Martin D-40 or a Taylor 900 series guitar, but it doesnt have too. Those guitars are 3k a piece and this one barely breaks 600 and comes close to both of those sounds. Just slap some elixers on this thing and youll be amazed of the sounds that come out of this guitar.
Ease of Use:
I bought this guitar based on the sound.. however when i bought it the action was so unbelievably high that i could slip my index finger inbetween the strings and the fretboard. AFTER i adjusted this.. the guitar plays like a dream. Moving up and down the neck has never been easier.
Support:
havent dealt with teh company
Overall:
I see myself having this guitar for a long time. I plan on recording with it, as well as gigging with it. This guitar might be the keystone in my arsenal.

9 out of 10
Feature:
Great features. Not a 10 on Electronics but very good.
Quality:
Again, this is a massed produced guitar. It's very good. I LOVE it..!
Value:
You can get better guitars in every way but you have to spend WELL above a $1000.
Desirability:
I have 2. 1 Natural and 1 Black....
Sound:
Let's be real, this guitar sounds very good but if you rate it a 10 then you've never heard a McPherson, a high end Martin, Taylor, USA Breedlove, Avalon or etc. If you have this kind of money to spend then BUY IT. You won't be disipointed. The only thing you'll want to thoroughly check is the intonation. Especially with a capo. It took me 3 times to get it right. I did not buy from ZZounds...
Support:
I bought a 2nd one (Black) for a ridiculously low price and had to take it in because the electronics didn't work. I knew this when I bought it but it still had a full warranty. It was repaired with absolutely no hassles. It was the end piece...
Overall:
I'd love to have a McPherson but shure can't afford the $4500 to get one...
