Feature:
Great-looking gold Grovers, of course.
This guitar was designed many years ago as a 12-string, and as such it is strong and solid (and weighs a bit more). I expect the neck to stay straight for decades. I tune it at 440 (not 1/2 tone lower). But listen... there's nothing up-tight about the sound!
Quality:
The only possible drawback is the finish, which is "good" but not up to the level of my Taylor 915CE. From a few feet away it's great, but up close and personal... Guild (Fender) should have worked a little harder on the gloss. Mechanically (structurally) it is supurb!
Value:
Good value. Remember, this is a rosewood acoustic... so it ain't gonna come cheap.
Desirability:
Not a "10" due to finish comments, above.
Sound:
When I get strumming some old CCR tunes, my wife has to turn up the TV, and she's at the other end of the house! This 12-string really sings out. I like the Elixer strings in medium. They are a little "warmer" than some - less brassy. Guitar has awesome sustain and is brilliantly clear, even at its loudest.
Support:
No experience.
Overall:
This SOUND would be tough to replace without spending $3,000+ so I suppose I'd get another one.
