"Like Butter"
I have been looking for an acoustic for around 1-2 months - I was given my late father inlaws acoustic 6 years ago which I stored away. I decided to pull it out and it is one of these. It is probably the most enjoyable guitar I have ever played. Literally like butter in your hands and the tone is just lovely. It has ignited my passion for playing / writing again - I cannot recommend getting this guitar enough if you can find one. Initially I thought I would get a pickup on it…but this deserves to be mic’d up so you capture the amazing tone from it.I have never heard of this brand…but now I am there biggest fan.From finger picking all the way to drop d , this guitars tone and ease of playing is crazy.

I'm keeping it for life, and then passing it on to my son. It's a keeper.
Sound
For the money, this is the best guitar I've ever played. It comes with light strings and sounds more to my liking with mediums, but notes ring out clear and lively, right out of the box. You can really hear the wood in the tone. Quality materials make all the difference. I've played all the top brands, and this guitar is definately nothing to sneeze at. In fact, I like it so much that I ordered an md350 and an md60.
Features
I don't know whether to call it a soft case, or a hard gig bag, but either way, the case/bag that comes with it is no cheapie. It is of great quality, and is more than adequate for my use, just lugging it around in my car. The guitar is pretty much a basic guitar, but the wood, tuning gears, finish, and the entire guitar as a whole is made quite well.
Ease of Use
For light finger picking, it is very expressive.
Quality
A few minor finish issues, but nothing to be ashamed of. I've even seen things like this on American guitars, so no biggie.
Value
An incredible buy. Get one if you can.
Manufacturer Support
Just got it, so no dealings.
The Wow Factor
It's a quality piece, but pretty much no frills.
