Upon receiving this from ZZOunds I plugged in my earphones and started playing around with it. First impression was that this would only be good for "silent" practice. Internal effects sound ok, action is typical acoustic feel, nothing special. Then I plugged it into my Marshall acoustic amp, and was definitely impressed. Sound is crisp and clean, with strong low end (much nicer low notes coming through than with my other "acoustic"). Everyone who sees it looks twice. Bass and treble adjustments only, no other EQ. Miss having a tuner built in. The included padded gig bag is nice but requires you to partially disassemble the guitar and stuff the guitar back in (tight fit). After doing this a couple of times (which knocked a few strings out of tune each time, I stared using an electric guitar gig bag I had - much more convenient. Overall, I recommend this for practice, and it really comes alive when run through a good acoustic amp. I would expect this to be priced a little lower, given the overall quality and utility, but I am pleased that I bought it.
