What a sweet guitar. This guitar has so much going for it. It took me a very long time agonizing over this decision to finally pull the trigger. 12 pay as you play, budget friendly. Being a payment buyer bang for buck was important but American quality was also. Glad I did, no really I'm glad...
The tone out of the case (after replacing strings to Elixer light HDs) is stellar, cross between rosewood and acacia, sustain and overtones... No harshness around the G string, wonderful string to string even volume. Couple this with the wonderfully comfortable neck and you will be sent to look for excuses to send time with this instrument. Playability and tone meet in one box! Not to mention the weight, the lightness is a pleasant surprise add the electronics and we have a winner. It's a Gibson acoustic. I've been playing for 50 years and this is a value not to pass up, you will be glad you didn't...
