Sound: Sounds great. It is very bright and punchy, and quite loud. I would say it is equal to Taylor 210, and very close to the sound of the Larivee DO3, but it has more to offer with great looks and gloss finnish. Feature: For the price, I have not seen a guitar with so much to offer. Gloss finnish, lots of inlay, beautiful dark back and sides, nice tight spruce top and that lovely smell of a solid wood guitar! Case is way cool! Ease of Use: I had to bring the action down slightly, I am not a great player yet! The neck is comfortable, but in my opinion not as nice as the Taylor neck. Since it is loud you do not need to strum it that hard. Quality: Suprising! A guitar made in china would scare off many potential buyers, including myself. This guitar is nearly flawless. I am impressed with the quality of wood and craftmanship for the money. Value: I spent 3 months trying a lot of very expensive guitars, and still can not believe this guitar sounds and plays this good. This was the best guitar I could find under $1000, and it had the most features. Great bang for the buck. Manufacturer Support: Not needed, but they have a nice set up guide available on the web site. The Wow Factor: I think the dark sides and back are stellar! I also like the chunky look of the large headstock. A cutaway seems to be sexier style of guitar and I love the sowflake fretboard inlays. Overall: I will always be looking for another guitar, but I likley will not part with my GAD40-C as I do not think I will find an equal in sound,looks and price. It was just a great deal.

Sound: You can't get a better acoustic for the money! The sustain is like a Taylor 314. It's also as easy to play. I took a classical class and showed up with this guitar. It easy rivaled most customs.
