Love it.

Sound
Top quality at an affordable price. I love this guitar. It's just so much fun to play. Great roots/surf twang off the bridge pickups. Nice fat crunch off the middle and neck pickups. Very versitile guitar. NOT just for country/roots. Even sounds decent when it's not plugged in. When was the last time you could use a "whammy" with your acoustic? You can't go wrong with this guitar and you can buy it without saving up for a year or so.

Features
While I absolutly love this guitar, the tuning pegs/machine screws are cheap. The guitar stays in tune, but they are just thin, cheap, and look out of place on such a finely made instrument. The Bigsby is terrific! I know a lot of people complain about the clear pick guard. It's a pick guard people. Remove it, replace it, or stop complaining. Personally, I don't have a problem with it. Should come with a case though.

Ease of Use
No mysteries with this guitar. I'm a novice player and I had no problem with this guitar at all. It's terrifically easy to play. Very versitile and forgiving.

Quality
This is a relatively lower cost guitar right? You would never know it from the quality. Just terrific from top to bottom, (with the exception of the tuning pegs). Yes, it's made in Korea. So is your car. Stop worrying about it. You can't go wrong here.

Value read more
This guitar is a tremendous value. Sound, quality, looks, it's all there and for under a grand. I own other, higher priced, guitars. But this one is the one I play more of ten than not. Fun and inspiring.

Manufacturer Support
No experience.

The Wow Factor
I am biased as I own this guitar, but I gotta say the thing is beautiful. I own the hot "country orange" and it's a damn fine looking guitar. Sounds even better than it looks.
