This is the best deal in a cutaway acoustic 6 string i have ever found. I have used it for recording serious releases, just with a mic, and it really sounds awesome, has a nice classical steel sound to it, great for acoustic rock. Add a transducer, and you really will have a great everyday work guitar for studio, road, or backyard parties. Get 2, so you have a backup, or a great gift for a friend or kid.
