Feature:
Nothing real fancy about this guitar. Gold keys are nice and the Solid Spruce top is nice. The Electronics with the built in tuner is more than adequate.

Quality:
Appears to be made extremely well and very durable.

Value:
Incredible instrument for the price.

Desirability:
The thing that is appealing about this instrument is the sound and the price.

Sound:
Excellent Sound. I played many guitars and read a lot of reviews before buying this one and it paid off. Sounds like a guitar that would cost 2 -3 times more than this one.

Ease of Use:
The action on the guitar that I purchased is OK. May bring it to a guitar tech to see if it can be lowered a bit.

Support:
Really haven't needed them for anything. I sent in the registration and received a nice letter back from them.

Overall:
I plan to keep this instrument for a very long time. Probably the best I've owned which includes my Martin.

Feature:
i got a hard case for it, but that wasn't included. no worries there, it needed one.

Value:
I picked this up for 340 and tax. I knew it was a steal, so I immediately bought it when i first played it.

Desirability:
The shiny finish on the body gave it a +5 sex appeal. The gold tuners gave it a +2. The color is pretty plain and traditional, but the quality of the sound is what really makes it appealing.

Sound:
i love the sound of this guitar. it's so warm feeling, and it projects very well

Ease of Use:
the maneuverability of the fretboard is keen. the rosewood fretboard feels great on the fingers.

Feature:
it only came with a hard case that i beat out of my local retailer.

Quality:
very well made. ballanced so well that it feels like its floating in your hands. i am not real gentle with my equipment, i don't abuse it but it gets played. after all thats what i bought it for! i expect it to last the rest of my life and beyond.

Value:
worth twice what i paid for it. i bought it retail with a retail markup

Desirability:
10!

Sound:
as far as i am concerned the only thing that comes close to this instrument is a martin. this thing projects like no other guitar i have ever owned. Fire side with all my party buds or on a gig in a cave(bar) or concert hall, or just in my practice studio. Crystal clear sound and the harmonics are dead on.

Ease of Use:
this thing plays like a strat! no doubt, this one is a keeper. the only thing about this guitar is that it puts a premium on technique. but that is a good thing, because the more you play it the better your technique gets.

Support:
i have not had one problem with it

Feature:
I have to say that I love the built in tuner on this beauty. It tunes the guitar perfectly. I've played acoustics with built in tuners that don't get you tuned perfectly but this is the best I've seen.

Quality:
The guitar is truly a beautiful looking guitar. The gold tuners definitely are a plus and make it look very sexy.

Value:
For around $450, this guitar is great. I've played a $1200 Taylor and though my Takamine was much better.

Desirability:
This is a very sexy guitar.

Sound:
Sounds great. Easily compares to Taylors and Martin. Plugged in or unplugged, sounds great either way.

Ease of Use:
Very easy guitar to play. The cutaway helps a lot. My last acoustic did not have a cutaway and it really makes a difference if you are a soloist.

Support:
Haven't had any issues with it yet and don't really think i will.

Overall:
If you're even thinking about getting this guitar, go for it. I don't think you'll find anything better for the money you are paying.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature:
Basic features, onboard tuner, 3 band EQ. The only thing i would like on this is an extra strap button on the neck heel but i could deal without one. Could easily get one installed at a shop.

Quality:
Looks like this guitar could last a really long time if taken well care of.

Value:
If i lost this, i'll buy one again. If it got damaged and unrepairable i'll definitely buy one again.

Sound:
i absolutely love the sound this guitar puts out. very warm and rich tone and you can play it soft or hard and it'll still sound fantastic

Ease of Use:
Good set up straight from the box. Playing barred chords on this guitar was an absolute breeze.

Support:
Haven't had to call yet!
