"Wonderful addition"

Sound: Warm dreadnaught sound but with adequate sparkle and high end, sounds great both acoustically and plugged in. I compared to Takamine, Seagull, Washburn, Fender, Martin Sigma, and found that you would need to at least double the price to get comparable sound. Feature: Excellent built in tuner, chromatic. Has a XLR output as well as typical 1/4 inch Ease of Use: Great action, this guitar sang to me. With normal tuning, no fret buzz unless you are trying to kill it Quality: Binding defect in one small spot, otherwise flawless. Very pretty guitar (I got the red one). Value: Again, to find a comparable guitar it would require double the price - I was willing to go that high, glad I didn't have to. Manufacturer Support: Have not needed. The Wow Factor: Very sweet top and back, beautiful coloring and grain. Overall: I play electric more than acoustic, was looking for an upgrade to another acoustic-electric (an Applause from Ovation). This is the 9th guitar in my collection and is my go to guitar for acoustic sounds (more real acoustic than a piezo equipped Parker Fly Deluxe, far deeper and warmer than the Applause).

Style of Music: Christian, 60's rock, eclectic

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Incredible value, great for easy live use"

Sound: This is definitely a slightly thinner tone, not a deep bass sound. Personally I like that; great for strumming percussive playing. Probably less effective for fingerstyle playing, since the bottom can be a little weak. Similarly just a little thin for recording. Feature: This guitar is ahead of the curve (certainly at this price point) in feature set, a major reason I gave it this high a rating. It's _soooo_ convenient to have a balanced output, a phase inverter, and a four-band EQ for live use. Seriously, it's like when I first drove a hatchback car and I was like "wow, I can fit soooo much stuff in here". It's like that. It just makes live use so convenient. Also, the finish looks _incredible_ for this price range. I have the transparent blue model. Quality: So far so good. Value: I would pay $500 for this guitar. The Wow Factor: I think the blue looks awesome. Others will certainly not dig the un-vintage vibe of a colorful acoustic guitar, but I love it. Overall: This is not a pro guitar that I would use for recording, but for this price range, it's $500 worth of features and $300 worth of sound in a $350 guitar. Amazing.

Style of Music: Rock, pop
