Sound
Awesome sound. Bright and more base projection than expected for the reduced body. Easy fretting compared to our classical. Bought it for our son and he loves it. Our son plays many different types of music. Much from the 70's and he is totally impressed with it. He owns a Gibson Les Paul and a lesser quality classical.
Features
Flamed/Tiger Maple is beautiful and the abalone is gorgeous. Quality of the zzound is awesome when the size is considered.
Ease of Use
Just awesome all around. I can't imagine another Acoustic/Electric at this price/shipping included that can produce the rich tones and is solid wood. I'm trying to put together the $$$ to buy another.
Quality
Absolutely ... lifetime with proper maintenance
