I am sure I will be enjoying this guitar for another 5 yrs.
Sound
Sound when plugged in is great, stand alone is good too. I bought bone pins for the saddle and it really brought out the "highs" wonderfully. I also replaced the Plastic bridge and replaced it with a piece of ivory I had fitted. I guess I did more to it than original out of the box but brand new it was really great for the price too.
Features
Don't remember any accessories. The electric pickup is really nice.
Ease of Use
I play weekly and change the strings every 6 months. I use LIGHT's and really enjoy the comfort and sound. 12 strings do have a wider neck but that is way they are. My hands are not big and I have no problems playing. I pick many songs too.
Quality
Everything about the finish and color are beautiful. All the varnish has held up really well for the last 5 yrs. As noted above, I changed the bridge and pins from plastic to bone. I keep it in a hard shell case.
Value
Outstanding value
Manufacturer Support
