"Great for beginner and moderate player, especially for the price."
Feature:
Don't remember any accessories. The electric pickup is really nice.

Quality:
Everything about the finish and color are beautiful. All the varnish has held up really well for the last 5 yrs. As noted above, I changed the bridge and pins from plastic to bone. I keep it in a hard shell case.

Value:
Outstanding value

Desirability:
If mine ever has a terrible accident I would buy one again.

Sound:
Sound when plugged in is great, stand alone is good too. I bought bone pins for the saddle and it really brought out the "highs" wonderfully. I also replaced the Plastic bridge and replaced it with a piece of ivory I had fitted. I guess I did more to it than original out of the box but brand new it was really great for the price too.

Ease of Use:
I play weekly and change the strings every 6 months. I use LIGHT's and really enjoy the comfort and sound. 12 strings do have a wider neck but that is way they are. My hands are not big and I have no problems playing. I pick many songs too.

Support:
not applic.

Overall:
I am sure I will be enjoying this guitar for another 5 yrs.
