Feature:
Has a good onboard tuner that is ideal for a quick pre performance tune up or if a string sounds strange. A check with a Korg tuner after setting up with the onboard showed the guitar was right on concert pitch.
The pickups are crisp and clean and although I have only used a small (30W) amp, there is no distortion evident.
Quality:
This guitar looks fabulous. (I have the Asian "Dao" wood body) High gloss body looks inches thick, gold machine heads give a bit of glitter. It is an acoustic, and glamour only goes so far but it looks workmanlike and seems to be well fitted together, with no obvious blemishes or poor fittings.
Value:
Probably a little more expensive than I would have thought for a Fender acoustic, but not outrageous. I forget the price when playing it.
Desirability:
A good solid workmanlike guitar for the enthusiastic amateur or occasional performer. Nice looker without being a "stand out".
Sound:
I flatpick traditional country, folk and church music. I set this guitar up with light strings for unplugged performances, and it sounds great! Good projection and presence although it might suffer in a large hall.
Ease of Use:
Didn't like the action with the stock strings, but plays easily with Martin Lights installed.
Support:
Haven't needed support, so no opinion here.
Overall:
Barring accidents, I anticipate keeping this guitar for some years to come. Spruce top will improve with age, and nothing looks fragile enough to break without warning.
