Exceeded my expectations, especially when considering value vs price. Mine had a great grain/looking top, rosewood back/sides were nicely done along with great neck/fret work. They might have went a bit heavy/thick on the clear coat finish, but that's pretty normal for imports and lower-mid level guitars. Case is a big bonus and nice quality. Action was nice and low (about 5.5-6/64 on low e) right out of the box, which is rare from the mfg to be that near perfect. These are inspected/final set up by a tech at PRS in Maryland and it shows. I am perfectionist on my action so I lowered the saddle just a smidge to get my 5/64 on the low e, but most would not even need to worry about that! Neck /truss rod relief adjustment was dead on also with no buzzing. I installed my favorite John Pearse PB strings and boy does this guitar sound good. Plenty of bass and trebles with a good growl to it accompanied by nice sustain. Pick up is okay, but that's a piezo for you, nothing to write home about compared to a Tak with a cool tube or higher end Fishman. I have several other nice higher end Takamines, a Yamaha, and an older beautiful all solid body Taylor 214e (spruce top/solid sapele back & sides pretty much equal to a 314), and this PRS rivals them for a lot less money/investment. Plus I am sure it will open up a bit with age and get a little better. All in all, this guitar fights and plays above its weight class for sure! zZounds had fast shipping, guitar was perfect and pay as you play is a great program. Had one hiccup that they would not match a stupid deal of the hour price from MF even with proof, but Ill get over it I guess.

Super light weight, action fairly easy to play once I put some strings on I like. This guitar is bass heavy and the inside controls are sleek, however, feedback busters are a no go with them! Overall this is a lot of guitar for the money, the main reason I got one is because I've never seen an acoustic PRS on stage and I like to not be run of the mill.
