"SEXY LITTLE THING!!"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars

Perfect. Get one.
Sound
I was pleasantly suprised at the sound. It's kind of like an Ovation salad bowl guitar, only easier to hold. When played through an acoustic amp, it is very responsive to all types of playing. And through the headphones, it sounds HUGE.
Features
I have read people complain that the included headphones are cheesy. SO USE A GOOD SET!! THESE ARE JUST THROWN IN!! As far as features, the built in headphone amp is killer. It's nice to just throw on a pair of headphones and go.
Quality
Extremely well built. There really isn't too much to go wrong. I know that this is sold as a "travel" guitar, but I have used it several times live, and it stands up. And since it weighs practically nothing, I can stand up too. It sounds really nice recorded with a little reverb, and maybe a touch of chorus. This thing stays in tune as well. And the included gig bag is excellent
Value
Buy it. You'll love it. Worth every penny.
Manufacturer Support
I have not needed support, except to find out what gauge strings were on it from the factory ( .010-.048; very comfortable ).
The Wow Factor
Very sexy little guitar. Lot's of fun.
