REVIEWS
Feature:
I'm really impressed with the features for the money -- it was the only new, name-brand acoustic-electric I found under $199, and it even came with the cable for plugging in!

Quality:
For the money, the fit and finish is amazing. It's a really great-looking guitar, and it seems well-built. The back, which is dark "nato" "mahogony-type" wood, is really beautiful.

Value:
I can't believe I got this good of a guitar, new, for this money.

Sound:
I haven't plugged it in yet, but as an "acoustic" it sounds really good. I'm not even close to an expert, since I just started playing about 6 months ago, on a regular-style (not cutaway) dreadnought steel-string acoustic. To me, this guitar doesn't sound quite as "full" as the regular dreadnought, but it's so much easier to play that right now I'll take the tiny bit of lost fullness.

Support:
Fortunately I haven't needed any support yet, but I was impressed that it comes with a limited lifetime warranty (on "non-wear" items).
