Feature:
Look at the woods! Holy mother. And the amazing inlays! Okay, the pick-up has every feature you'd want. They didn't mess around when they designed this one.
Quality:
Not a blemish on the entire instrument. This is a studio musician's dream come true, but it will also perform night after night on the road. Just wait until the solid top is 20 years old and the binding has had time to naturally age -- you think she's a beauty now!
Value:
You may think this is expensive for an acoustic (or maybe you own a more expensive one already) but this guitar will be with you for the rest of your life. And it's only going to sound better as the years go by!
Desirability:
You need an acoustic-electric but also want something worth mic'ing in the studio? Get the heck away from those tired Martins and worthless Ovations (needless to mention Washburn, Epiphone, maybe Gretsch or Alvarez). Stick with a true American choice. If you don't see this guitar and think "I want it", then you're not really a guitar player.
Sound:
Amazing woods give it an amazing sound, that is no lie. I know that Gibson acoustics can get a bad rap, but this guitar will prove you wrong. Whether plugged in or simply mic'd, you will never find a more versatille acoustic guitar.
Ease of Use:
Just pick it up and play it for yourself. Very comfortable neck without being a tree trunk. Set the action however you'd like it. Want a brighter sound? Get brighter strings. Ease of use? I'd say "easiest".
Support:
Gibson? Hello! Along with Fender, they made the electric guitar what it is today. Do you think they're going to screw you over on their product support? They support every single instrument that comes out of their factories. If you EVER have a problem, they will solve it.
Overall:
Read the features, look at the picture, figure it out for yourself. The best.
