Sound

Features
tasteful but simple real nice binding headstock and neck but i perfer more fretboard decoration at least dots. i also perfer slight redness in rosewood it is more brown. really have always liked guitars with ebony . would rate higher except for only 1 fretboard inlay
Ease of Use

Quality
looks clean of any blems real nice fit and finish nice tight grain on top. no glue residue. nice set up from loud ind. before shipment
Value
other than china. sound , quality , set up , fit and finish compare to american guitars between $1500 and $3000. i had to grapple with buying chineese guitar. but after recievine it it compares well to chineese guilds may be better would have play side by side to know for sure. sounds much better than any martin around $1000 i have played but its china if i could aford a d28 i would have one
