At first, the guitar put me off severely.
Sound
This guitar was seriously off-putting to me at first. I even wrote a scathing review. I unboxed it in very unflattering light, I despise the retro strings it shipped with and the finish wasn't at all what I expected. My initial repulsion was so strong that I strummed it three or four times and recased it, intent on sending it back. About a week later I stell hadnt sent it back so I took it out for another try. I reclined in my Lazy Boy with early morning sun coming through the window.I realized this guitar is in fact spectacular. It's just not a 000-18. The "bad finish" is really just a very highly figured Sitka top of incredibly tight, straight growth rings shining through a very thin satin lacquer. I decided to restring it with D'addario Phosphor Bronze Mediums tuned half step flat.The guitar is heavenly. Very mid forward. Bass is tight. Highs are subdued. It is made for fingerstyle Delta Blues. I set it up to my liking and its one of my favorites now. All my guitars are "high end." This is my least expensive instrument, but quality is outstanding. It's not a versitile guitar but if you want a growling mid focused fingerstyle Blues machine with tight bass that will shred Lightnin' Hopkins, this is it.
Ease of Use
Playing fingerstyle over the soundbole produces the acoustic equivalent of mellow jazz guitar tone.
Quality
Construction is… read more flawless. Materials are top shelf. One piece neck. Neck is PERFECTLY quarter sawn.
Value
The quality for price is excellent.
The Wow Factor
For fingerstyle blues guitarists it's excellent.
