This is the one of the best deals out there in solid body acoustics, as far as I'm concerned. I love my DR12 and everyone who plays it thinks it is a tremendous value for the price.
It is just a very solid guitar, with no real bells or whistles, save for the beautiful abalone inlay around the sound hole. The action is a little high, in my opinion, but should be adjustable down to my liking.
My only real complaint is with the case. It is sad that Tacoma mated such a high quality guitar with such a shoddy case. After only several years of use, every hinge on the case is loose, and many of the rubber "feet" have come off. Also, due to the oddly shaped head, you are kind of stuck buying a Tacoma brand hard case. Other than the case, I am extremely satisfied with my DR1.
