I love this guitar. It sounds good on or off the amp. It has a nice feel too. Stays in tune nice. Also tunes smoothly. I did let it acclimate to my place here after the 2 day shipping in cold freezing weather. I took my time. But it's a very nice Taylor Guitar. I have no regrets. I'm glad I bought it.
