Sound: The sound is amazing, bright yet dark. I am not dissapointed Feature: Its an acoustic, you don't need features. Ease of Use: Plays awesome I can't put it down. I play for 5 hours at a time. Quality: Great quality, of course its got some dings becuase i keep running it into stuff but overall its great. Smells good too... Value: Acoustic wise I think its worth it. One of the best sounding guitars in that price range I played at the store. Manufacturer Support: never needed it. The Wow Factor: Very basic. But I like basic. Not much "sex appeal" but its got that classic acoustic dreadnought look. Can't go wrong. Overall: the tone is so good when im done playing i just strum it randomly becuase it sounds so good. Its fun to play and makes me play better actually.

SPOTLIGHT REVIEW
Sound: I spent like six months trying to find a guitar that sounded as good as this one at my local guitar center before I spent my grand. This guitar blew away all similarly priced guitars and many more expensive guitars. (Martins and Gibsons)I don't know how to describe it, other than to say that this guitar wants you to play it aggressively. The lows and mids resonate with depth and the highs are crystal clear. If you do a lot of finger picking I wouldn't suggest this guitar because the lows tend to not come out very loud when your playing softly, because of the body design. But if you like to do some heavy pick strumming, palm strikes, bluesy type muted string slaps etc then you'll love this guitar. A lot of people don't like the dreadnoughts and to be perfectly honest I intended to by a Taylor 214 or something similar in the Martin line, but I couldn't stop comparing other guitars to the DN3 so I bought it instead. Feature: It came with a hard shell case. The guitar is no frills. It has no pick gaurd, no fancy inlays. I'll admit that I don't know what type of wood it is made out of. The neck, back and sides are a flat finish. All I care about is how it sounds and is it going to sound that way tomorrow. I'm going with Taylor's reputation here Ease of Use: It sounded great before I got it home Quality: This guitar had no blemishes or factory issues that I could notice. I would say that it has been well crafted by those skilled in the art. I did have my first string break on it the other day, and all of the other strings remained in tune, which is a first on any guitar that I have owned. Value: Like I said above, I couldn't find another guitar even close to this price that sounded as good. Manufacturer Support: I have not needed any customer service with this guitar. I imagine that If i did, it wouldn't be a problem since I'm so happy with the sound of my guitar. The Wow Factor: Is this question for real? Overall: I will not replace this guitar. I may buy another guitar in the future that has a more shallow flat treble sound to it so I can have a different sound. If it were lost or stolen, or my wife decided to smash it against my 67 camaro, I would have to figure out a way to get another one, because this guitar is a part of me now. This is why I leave my old Yamaha and cheap Fender sitting out in front of my Taylor.

VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: Sound is a very subjective thing. Think acoustic guitar part on Beck's "The Golden Age". That's what this guitar wearing some new Elixers sounds like. Maybe a tad brighter, but you get the idea. Feature: All solid wood construction. No electronics of any kind. The only sort of upgrades that might make a difference would be a real bone nut. For $1000, a $3.00 pickguard in the case would have been a nice touch tho. Ease of Use: Pretty easy. It's a guitar. Value: Nothing under $2500 can touch this. Period. Manufacturer Support: No experience
