Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I recently purchased this small body guild acoustic electric and it is without a doubt one of the best I have ever played. It seems to have a real deep essence to the sound which is probably due to the solid rosewood body. I've owned tailors, martins and many others that do not sound near as good. Do note that it has a wider neck more closer to that of a nylon string classical. Great for doing finger style playing with lots of room for bends. The pickup system is very keep it simple stupid volume and tone control hidden away inside the sound hole. It sounds nice and from fishman it is a quality sound pickup. I do play professionally and can tell you this is a great little guitar that I will be using most every performance. If you are looking for a nice small body guitar that feels and sounds of quality this is a great choice. This is the second guitar I have purchased from zZounds and each time it has been a great experience.
