zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Great sound in a simple package."

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. 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. Ease of Use: Plays very well. After about a year I had to have it set up again, but neck adjustments are a snap. 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! Manufacturer Support: Haven't needed any. The Wow Factor: 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. Overall: Barring any unforseen campfire accidents ;o) I expect to have this for a long time.

Style of Music: Acoustic folk-rock-Americana

"Chhh and i thought i was gonna be dissappointed."

Sound: The sound surpasses its looks, being an ordinary cutaway, but with its sound it could look like anything, and i'd still play it. I personally like the sound of just the acoustic, unplugged, yet its a beast plugged into my marshall stack with my acoustic pedal. I would recommend getting a sustainer for amp play not that its dull, just doesnt sound quite like it does unplugged Feature: This eq is nice, you have 3 smaller buttons towards the bottom that do you justice when your amp isnt to quality, and also a built in tuner, i will say this because i did not know this before i bought it, the guitars power cuts out while the tuner is on, and comes back on when you turn it off, does it on every model, so if you wanted to tune during live play i'd suggest a floor tuner. Ease of Use: Easiest acoustic guitar i have ever played, actions perfect, drop d sounds great as well, no buzzing at all. Quality: Mine had a small blemish by the sound hole but i dont notice it and i dont see how you can seriously care about how it looks once you hear it. Value: I got a good deal on this, i paid 202.50 on a "auction site" whose name i wont mention, so my value will be quite higher than others, but i would take this guitar over the Tak's I was looking at before any day. It sounds like the Gibson songwriter my friend has, just a little brighter. Manufacturer Support: Havent dealt with them and dont think i will ever have to. The Wow Factor: IF there is one thing i would change about this guitar, maybe the rosette around the soundhole, could be a bit brighter but other than that the grain on the back looks excellent and the tuners have yet to fail me, it'd stay in tune if i dropped it off my house, and even if it did its got a built in tuner. Overall: 9 is definately the lowest score i can give this guitar, I had it down to this or a Tak eg544sc, that guitar looked better, this guitar sounds better, i went with the obvious musicians choice.

Style of Music: Rock, Metal, Blues, Southern Rock
