"Very Pleased!"

Quality:
Build Quality was surprising impressive for a guitar in the price range. In addition, i purchased the blemished model to save a few bucks...had to really search for a blemish...and i've already added a few blemishes of my own.

Sound:
Really pleased with the sound...especially for the money. I owned a Martin Dreadnought and the sound seemed more balanced, but overall the sound on the AD70 is nice. A bit bright in the highs...but nice.

Support:
haven't needed any

"Great sound in a simple package."

Feature:
I LOVE that the pre-amp cuts out when the tuner is on. There's no need for the audience to hear you tuning up, so when you put it on, they can't. You can turn it on and off quickly to check. It's a great feature. The notch setting is also useful where the room EQ is high at certain frequencies. This can be adjusted to reduce feedback.

Quality:
It's built well. I don't baby it like I do my more expensive instruments and it's held up well. There are no obvious blemishes and the neck is still true.

Value:
This guitar is very reasonably priced. The pre-amp/EQ, the overall quality, the rich bass tones -- all for about $450. Great!

Desirability:
There's nothing terribly distinctive about it. Blonde spruce top, generic-looking binding and tuners; it looks like everyone's idea of a guitar. But without the sex-appeal of an elaborate rosette or fancy fret markers, they can charge less for great sound. That's what makes it desirable.

Sound:
This thing is LOUD. I bought it for the occasions when there is no amp available and now I have to be careful not to drown out the singers. It's warm, and has a very good bass response. It has gotten richer with time and sounds better than guitars I've played that cost twice as much. The amplified sound is very clean and true, and can be easily customized. I often have to cut the bass a little in small rooms.

Ease of Use:
Plays very well. After about a year I had to have it set up again, but neck adjustments are a snap.

Support:
Haven't needed any.

Overall:
Barring any unforseen campfire accidents ;o) I expect to have this for a long time.
