"Silent guitar, but so much to say about it."

Feature:
reverb is a miracle, also the volume and tone control is ideal.

Quality:
Aha, he a small 9 because the removable part of the body is not very stable.

Value:
cheap investment for life, best deal ever, you will never need an other classical guitar.

Desirability:
No I have it and will keep it

Sound:
It's like playing in a cathedral with the reverb on. Still the sound is pure and natural as can be a classical guitar.

Ease of Use:
You do not play this guitar, the guitar plays you. It's amazing how creative you can become just playing it. Ideas just come by themselves

Support:
never needed it, so it must be very good

Overall:
No doubt about it: full success.

"Space Age Looks, Traditional Performance."

Quality:
Overall excellent quality fit and finish for all the working bits, but a minor complaint about the cheap 'trapdoor' lid for the onboard 9V battery.

Value:
Unique market niche, so a bit hard to compare, but rates very well against similarly priced electric acoustics.

Desirability:
I have lost count of all the "How cool is THAT!" comments I have had since first using this guitar. Space age looks, with the natural wood colouring make it a real eye catcher. The light weight, rich sound and ease of playing are a real joy.

Sound:
Fabulous overall sound, especially through an amp, but sometimes sounds a little flat on the upper strings in clean mode. I need to experiment some on different gauge strings to tidy up the occasional flat sound. The supplied earbud phones are just OK, I use a pair of Sennheisers for excellent sound response when using 'phones.

Ease of Use:
This is an extremely lightweight thin body guitar that is easy to use both seated and standing. You barely notice it even after a long session. The neck is nicely curved and although narrow, has plenty of room for most style of players. Fingerpickers may find it a little crowded on the fretboard.

Overall:
I bought this guitar primarily as a travel guitar, but have found that it is far better quality than the standard traveller. This one is definitely a keeper, and I can see myself playing it for many years to come. I love the space age looks, light weight and small size and the incredible sound produced by such an unlikely looking instrument.
