This guitar has been played daily since I got it, it has a beautiful, full, warm tone. First the pros: it sounds like a piano, it's so clear and full sounding, just a beautiful sounding instrument. Fit and finish is pretty much as good as you can get. There is nothing loose, nothing that wiggles or makes noise that's not supposed to make noise. The finish is absolutely gorgeous, very professionally done. Even the smell of this guitar will put a smile on your face. It is setup perfectly right out of the box. It stays in tune great, too. The cons: when I got the hard case, one of the little latches fell off and I couldn't latch one of them shut. What happened is the factory screwed the screws in too tight and stripped them, causing them to not grip anything in the hole. I had to buy some anchors slightly larger than the hole and screw them in, then I attached the small lip that the latch loop clamps to and screwed it back in. Now you can't even tell a difference. I told zZounds about this and they gave me a $150 credit !! That was so nice of them, considering I did have to buy supplies and do quite a bit of driving to get this done. They are awesome ! One other thing about the case is that the little cupboard door inside the case wasn't cut short enough, causing it not to shut all the way. It's about 1/4" too long causing the door to hang over the cubby hole. This doesn't affect the guitar or anything else. The guitar lies in the case perfectly and the case closed fine. read more You can't notice it visually either, but it is something that could've been prevented had the person who put the case together had taken their time to do. Other than that, I'm going to be purchasing another one of these guitars soon. Do yourself a favor and just get one if you're thinking about it. They are an awesome guitar. I'm giving it a 4.5 for quality because of the case, not the guitar.
