"Great Guitar for the $$$"

Feature:
I actually thought that it would have came with some sort of case for the price. (I paid more than what it sells for here)

Quality:
Cosmetically this is a great looking Guitar and seems well built.

Value:
Price on this Guitar is great! I actually paid more for the guitar than it is listed here for.

Desirability:
Considering the Sound, Price and Looks of this Guitar it should be a hit where ever Guitars are sold. This Guitar competes well with other manufacturers at twice the price in sound and quality.

Sound:
The Sound of this relatively cheap 12 string Electric Acoustic Guitar is excellent. When recording however, I would suggest that you use both the Pickup and a good microphone to capture the actual sound of the Guitar. I find that the Pick Up sounds somewhat (well un-natural) is the best word I can find.This may also be my Cheap Recording equipment. Not bad just not natural. I dont have much experience with Acoustic Guitar pick-ups so thai may actually be normal.

Support:
Havent needed it yet so cant rate it in this catagory! I really think that they should warn you that as soon as you try to tune the cheap strings provided that they make break just before reaching tune. Learned on the internet that many people tune down 1 step because of this and other 12 string problems.

Overall:
I love the Guitar however I think that had I known about the electronics, I probably would have purchased it without them.
