Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
Its a keeper, i'm a Fender person, don't think they make a bad guitar.
Sound
Beautiful sound that only a 12 string can make, easy transition from 6 to 12 string for flat picking, almost has a harpsichord like sound
Features
wish it had a gloss finish, but satin is ok, the wider neck takes some getting used to, and still trying to figure out what NATO wood is.
Ease of Use
Other than neck width which is to be expected, going from a Strat to this is like playing a 2X4 with strings, but expect to adapt.
Quality
Must admit, for a guitar made in China, i am impressed with the workmanship. Fender wouldn't put their name on it if it was junk.
Value
Its not a $2200.00 Martin D18, but not expecting it to be. For a beginner, or pro, its a bargain.
The Wow Factor
Its a nice looking guitar, a welcome break from my Strats and 6 string acoustic.
