"gigging tone for less than a car payment"
Feature:
even though the finish is just a thin layer glued to the surface it is very well made and the inlays,binding and neck assembly flow flawlessly. the tuners are very good too

Quality:
for a production line guitar for under 300 this is the best i have seen yet

Value:
for 250 bucks BUY IT!!!!!! you wont find better outside of a lucky deal at a pawnshop

Desirability:
this is a very attractive guitar i wish the neck and fingerboard were ash or maple though

Sound:
the sound is bright and unique. the low action give it almost a percussion sound if played hard. play personal jesus on it to see what I mean. the lows are nice and the brites are crisp

Ease of Use:
it comes set up out of the box and is fitted with good strings. my only issue is my frets buzz at the 13th fret and on. but i am fixing that

Support:
never had to deal with them

Overall:
i think this was a great investment. the guitar promises to season well and last a long time

"Good Acoustic for the Money"
Feature:
There's no pick guard, which I suppose could be a problem with some people. They used some very good looking and sounding woods. The tonal properties of each seem to compliment each other well with the exception that the low end is muddy. Maybe they should have used a ebony fretboard.

Quality:
There are no cosmetic problems with the guitar. The body's Ash top is actually quite striking.

Value:
Yes.

Desirability:
It is a very striking guitar. The body's Ash top makes it stand out from the typical all brown or black guitar. They should have added a cut away in the body because it's impossible to use the top six or so frets. I use this guitar more for chord work, anyways. If I had to use it for lead work I'd feel limited. The neck is the perfect width and depth for my hands.

Sound:
The high-end is crisp and well defined, not overly bright. The lows are a bit on the muddy side. Overall, it has a very smooth sound.

Ease of Use:
It uses '12s' so it takes some getting used to if you only play electric. I still have a hard time bending more than one semi-tone.

Overall:
If you want a relatively cheap acoustic for rhythm, this is the one for you. It plays and sounds great.
