zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "i love it"

Sound: i really love the tone on this guitar. it's got a sweetness to it. i play it live through an LR baggs para acoustic direct input preamp which helps me control the EQ and volume since the guitar has no controls. it responds extremely well to strumming which i was worried about before buying it since i do alot of strumming. i also had to get a soundhole cover for it because it was slightly prone to producing feedback but not too a big deal. i compared this to some taylors and takamines around the same price range and the tone of this was far superior. i've used it to record a bit and the tone is definitely there. it's not the best recording guitar but it gets the job done. Feature: i really can't complain about the features on this guitar. i had to have a strap button installed because i'm not fond of straps that tie around the headstock but aside from that it's great. Ease of Use: it's extremely playable. it takes a little getting used to the string spacing if you're used to dreadnought style guitars but that's mostly for fingerpicking. the action is great. Quality: i've had it for nearly a year and i play it live at least 4 times every week and it hasn't given me any problems. never goes out of tune. it seems like it's pretty durable considering the smaller size. the pickguard got scratched a few months ago with the pick and someone dropped something on it while it was onstage so it's got a ding on the gloss finish but that's my own fault and it's got nothing to do with the way the instrument is. as far as for being roadworhty i've never had any problems with it during the cold months or because of stage lighting. i treat it very good so it doesn't get too much abuse but i definitely like to rock out when i play. Value: i think you definitely get what you pay for and in my opinion it sounds better and is far more visually appealing than other instruments in its range. Manufacturer Support: haven't had to deal with them. The Wow Factor: this guitar is sexy. sometimes i just stare at it or play it in front of the mirror cause it looks so good. hehe. Overall: i plan to keep this guitar for as long as it'll last. i might invest in a more expensive guitar for recording later on but this will definitely stay a part of my setup for years to come. if it were lost or stolen i would definitely consider buying another one. i sorta wish it was more expensive cause alot of times cheaper guitars get disrespected by elitists but i love this guitar.

Style of Music: rock, blues, indie-rock, folk-rock
