"The best deal in an acoustic guitar...ever!"
Feature:
I don't know whether to call it a soft case, or a hard gig bag, but either way, the case/bag that comes with it is no cheapie. It is of great quality, and is more than adequate for my use, just lugging it around in my car. The guitar is pretty much a basic guitar, but the wood, tuning gears, finish, and the entire guitar as a whole is made quite well.

Quality:
A few minor finish issues, but nothing to be ashamed of. I've even seen things like this on American guitars, so no biggie.

Value:
An incredible buy. Get one if you can.

Desirability:
It's a quality piece, but pretty much no frills.

Sound:
For the money, this is the best guitar I've ever played. It comes with light strings and sounds more to my liking with mediums, but notes ring out clear and lively, right out of the box. You can really hear the wood in the tone. Quality materials make all the difference. I've played all the top brands, and this guitar is definately nothing to sneeze at. In fact, I like it so much that I ordered an md350 and an md60.

Ease of Use:
For light finger picking, it is very expressive.

Support:
Just got it, so no dealings.

Overall:
I'm keeping it for life, and then passing it on to my son. It's a keeper.
