Most beautiful guitar I've ever owned, but when I first got it out of the box and played it, I didn't like it at all. The action was set far too high and it didn't play as easily as my $250 Yamaha. I took it in to have the action lowered and I added a set of D'Addario strings. Now, I wouldn't part with this guitar for anything. It's easy to play and the tone is unreal. When you strum a chord you get a full resounding chord and the sustain on this instrument is very true. Sure, I had to make some tune ups on the out of the box instrument, but this is one heck of a fine guitar. Thanks to zZounds pay as you play program I have the finest guitar I've ever had.

Musical Background:

Just about everything. I also play trumpet, French horn, mandolin

Musical Style:

Just about every style. right now I'm organizing a bluegrass band
