REVIEWS
Feature:
It has solid woods all round. It is solid and well constructed. Solid sitka spruce top, solid indian rosewood back and sides, african ebony fretboad and bridge with mahogany neck and pearl inlays, grover gold plated tuners.

Quality:
It has a slightly orange peel clearcoat on the back. There is a knott in the front sitka spruce. Apart from those things which don't affect the performance it is well made and solid as a rock. There were not body construction faults.

Value:
I got this for the same money as a Maton and less than a D28 Martin. I'm laughing. This is so well appointed compared to the others.

Sound:
This guitar has the gibson sound. Has good projection and is very balanced whether strummed or played fingerstyle. The fishman transducer is very good and brings out the true characteristics of the instrument. D'addario EXP-16 strings 12-53 are best.

Support:
I gave a five as I don't know what the Gibson factory support is like. Australia is a long way from Montana.

Overall:
Should something happen to this instrument I would try and buy another. I also like the smaller body L-130 Gibson for fingerstyle playing.
