Feature:
The guitar only included an optional pick guard (which I strongly suggest you use).

Quality:
Great quality through and through.

Value:
Mine is a lefty. They charge more for lefties so the overall value isn't that great. I find it somewhat discriminating.

Desirability:
Great looking guitar!

Sound:
For what is classified as a "student" guitar the sound is beautifully rich and the tone is fantastic.

Ease of Use:
Playing from the nut to the 10th fret is the easiest. Once you get any higher up the neck it becomes more difficult to play and doesn't sound as good as it should. The action and intonation were all done by a professional.

Support:
Haven't needed any.

Overall:
Many years to come. I shop for things very thoroughly so I don't have to buy again.

Feature:
Basic but adequate

Quality:
Well built bidding is good and overall not bad for the money

Desirability:
Not the sexist guitar out there but does have presence.

Sound:
Bought this guitar to take to the beach and mess around without worring about my Gibson. It has a great full body sound for the money its really good. I have a Gibson Hummingbird and I must say to tone and sound quality is great. It plays well but took a little to get use to but plays well. Great buy if your looking for a good sounding instrument.

Ease of Use:
play well
