So, this is New Guitar Day! I have only had the guitar for about 4 hours, so this is review is from limited experience. So far, I really do love it. It is not ornate, but the finish is even and very nice. The neck is very smooth, and feels good in my hands. I haven't even changed the strings yet, and the sound is very nice. It has nice low-end, without being boomy. On heavy chords and heavy flat picking it is very articulate, and the picked notes just sing out. Fingerstyle sounds good, but this is not the strong suit of the guitar. It has great projection, and volume. To my hands and my ears, it sounds and feels better than anything else in its price range that I have played.I have plugged it in, and it seems to have a sound that represents its acoustic tone. I cranked it through a PA, and there was no feedback, even when directly in front of a stage monitor.

Musical Background:

I have been playing guitar for 20 years

Musical Style:

I love classic rock, classic country, bluegrass, and even som 80's rock and vintage punk.
