"Brilliant Sound"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
GREAT!
Sound
It's very bright sounding. The sound quality is excellent. When played through an amp, it is very clear. It is also a very dynamic guitar.
Features
I'm giving this an 8 just because it didn't have a cutout. I would also rather the input jack be somewhere other than the strap knob so that I could install strap locks. It has all the knobs you need (vol, treb, bass).
Ease of Use
Great action. It's a little high for a Taylor on the higher frets, but that's just because I haven't set it up yet. The action is still better than most guitars, though.
Quality
Well built. The neck is nice and sturdy. The woods sound great together. The electronics are responsive and the pickup gives a clear sound.
Value
It's a Taylor, so it's a little pricey. However, I got it blemished, so I paid under $600
Manufacturer Support
Haven't used it.
The Wow Factor
It's perty
