AustraliaI bought this guitar online on a Tuesday morning and was pleasantly surprised when it arrived at my place in rural NSW on Friday morning. I chose this model for a few reasons, first, it is constructed from all solid timber, no laminates, so it should age well. Second, it has a small ish body size, I'm not a big bloke and playing a dreadnought is not the most comfortable experience for me, so this is ideal. It is no parlor guitar though, it still has good response across the frequency range and sounds great either finger picking or strumming with a pick. Third, one word, PRICE! At under $800 delivered it was at least half the price of anything comparable, you simply can't beat it for value. I was skeptical of the brand, and was prepared to return it if it did not live up to expectations, but I remain very happy with my purchase. Acoustically it sounds great, nice full sound, a tiny bit thin in the bottom end, but overall very pleasant. This is a gigging guitar for me so I was more interested in how it sounds plugged in. Well, kapow! I was pleasantly surprised again, the L.R. Baggs EAS-VTC pickup is fantastic! Great sound, not quacky, good dynamics and touch response, simple volume and tone dial, enough to get a sound you can use. The only criticisms I would have are 1) No onboard tuner, a bit of an inconvenience but easily remedied, and 2) No case of any kind. A hard case at this price might be a bit much to ask, but a guitar of this value deserves at least a soft case, although I do understand the desire to keep the cost down. Overall, an easy 4.5 out of 5 from me, thanks. Now to find a case that fits . . .
