"Little review from Israel"

Feature:
Good. But always is how to please the buyer.

Quality:
When I was in shop I saw three tools, but two I have not liked the quality - Inside there was many sawdust and glue, details were different color. But that that has purchased I, has very much liked. That the firm has paid attention to quality I appreciate to 6.

Value:
I consider{count} that it is the good tool. Convenient for use. The good price / a sound. But I want that the firm has paid attention to quality and worked above improvement of sounding.

Desirability:
See the value. But Sexual. :)

Sound:
High quality of a sound, is audible each note. But I trust that quality of a sound of this model can be better. My 8.

Ease of Use:
Very convenient fret board (neck). There are no remarks.

Support:
It was not required.

Overall:
I use this guitar 3 months. I did not think to search for another for change this. I already wrote that sounding can be better. But that suffices me that is. I wished to purchase cheaper Ibanez, Fender, but to me was not audible there each note. I am happy with this.

About This Product!
Description
Docs
From Our Catalog
News
The appealing tones and subtle nuances of a solid Sitka spruce top and Indian rosewood laminate backs and sides are amplified with clarity and warmth, thanks to Taylor's Under-Saddle Transducer (UST) pickup.

A modestly priced, solid-wood guitar with tonal qualities and resonance approaching that of a premium acoustic guitar -- an incredible value.

Features
In the 200 Series, solid sapele adds depth to the sparkle of a Sitka top, filling in a full range of tonal possibilities.

Grand Auditorium -- Taylor's Grand Auditorium combines the width and depth of a dreadnought with a narrower waist. Its sleek design yields a strong treble zing across the tonal spectrum and sharpens the definition of individual notes. The Grand Auditorium is a strong fingerpicking guitar that also adapts well to medium strumming.

Varnish -- A durable varnish finish offers protection, good looks, and a smooth feel to the touch. Available in natural finish.
