The guitar looks good at first and sounds pretty good. The sunburst finish seems to be well applied. The neck contour is very comfortable and the action out of the box is very good. I love the design of this guitar, it's a nice compromise between a parlor guitar and a dreadnought. There were several things I didn't like. I was looking forward to playing an acoustic with jumbo frets. They didn't seem jumbo to me, more like mediums, but they were a nice size. It was easier to play than my Martin which has thin frets. But these frets were not dressed or polished. It looks like they were precut and ends shaped before they were installed and that was it. The fretwork on my $250 Yamaha is much more comfortable. There were no buzzes anywhere on the neck except on the low E in the first position. Another thing that bugged me was the glue joints and finish where the neck meets the body was very sloppy. On my $250 Yamaha and $450 Seagull they are flawless. I expected more from a $600 guitar. I ordered this because I'm a huge Warren Haynes fan and didn't have the money set aside for the Custom Shop version. I thought this guitar would be a bit better constructed than cheaper Chinese acoustics, but it seemed to be a bit off the mark. Maybe I got an outlier. I returned the guitar to zZounds, and they were very helpful.
