Customer Review Rate and Review this Product: 5 people wrote reviews 8 people rated this item Jammin' Geo from Chattanooga, TN evglern@aol.com Overall Ranking: Overall: Sound: Quality: Reliability: Action: Finish: Playability: Tone: Subject: Get that Incredible Gibson sound for a lot less! Quality: I give this guitar an 11 out-of 10 in quality. Sound: Absolutely beautiful after a string change. Reliability: I have had this guitar for about six months, and it has stood up well so far. Overall: I was at first skeptical. How could a $300.00 guitar compare to one that costs nearly $3,000.00? Every review I read on the internet indicated that this guitar was far better than the price portrayed, so I thought I'd try it out--and so I ordered the Dove, the premium case, and a set of Gibson Acoustic strings from American Musical Supply. Well, the case arrived in three days from ordering. The guitar and strings arrived the next day. At first impression, I was pleased by the fit and finish--Beautiful Sitka Spruce Top, Maple back and sides, very nice hardware. The only thing I will change is the Nut, Saddle and Pins from the hard plastic ones furnished to some good TUSK or Bone ones from Stewart MacDonald. However, after changing the strings, I was pleasantly surprised to hear such a clear, clean, punchy sound coming from a three-hundred dollar guitar! It is now usually the first one I grab-even over my Martin D-15 which has been my fav for many years now! Playability and Feel: Very nice right out of the box. I may lower the action a few thousandths when I change the saddle--maybe. The action is actually nearly perfect as-is. Tone: You get the bright, punchy tone you would expect from Maple, with the warm, bell-like acoustics the Sitka Spruce Top provides. Think of the acoustic guitar sound in Marshall Tucker's "Can't you See"--that's pretty close to the tone you get (after a string change). Finish: No flaws. Perfect fit and finish. Action: All it needed, as I said earlier, was a good set of Strings. I expect changing the nut saddle and pins over to TUSK will make SOME improvement, but that is just a personal preference. Actually it sounds FANTASTIC with just the afforementioned string change. Skill Level: Semi-Pro Do you own this product?: Proudly. Date submitted: 11/10/2009 Mark from Swansea, MA Overall Ranking: Overall: Sound: Quality: Reliability: Action: Finish: Playability: Tone: Subject: Everybody loves it....... Quality: Its a high quality Chinese made acoustic guitar.Haven't had any issues. As time has passed I have upgraded nut, saddle and pins to Tusq and added a Martin Thinline pickup. If it was ever lost or damaged, I will replace next day and upgrade same way or maybe take the splurge on the Gibson model. Sound: Very bright but very nice for a 300 dollar guitar. Gave it a very well deserved upgraded nut, saddle, and pins from Tusq 2 years ago and should have done when I bought it. Added a Martin Thinline pickup. Tried every string possible from D'Addario to Cleartone but now I just run Darco 80/20 lights on it. I prefer non-coated strings and buy them in bulk. Reliability: I bought mine locally 4 years ago. No issues, well except for 1 fret that a nice gentle hammer took care of. Overall: Its a very nice replica of the classic.Epiphone should have a Masterbuilt version of the Dove.Someday I might justify the cost for the Gibson model. For the money this guitar is unbeatable for look, feel, quality and sound. Playability and Feel: To me my guitar has a get feel to it. Neck shape and nut width suit me and out of the 5 acoustics I have, I use this one the most. I do own more expensive guitars but this is the one that travels with me to local bars, lessons, neighbors and friends, beach, park etc. Sounds good and very bright when plugged in. The guitar feel and sound greatly surpasses its price range. Tone: Finish: The finish was great on guitar. Spruce top almost looked bookmatched but a close eye can tell its not.No sloppy glue on kerfing or bracing but you can tell these go together very quick at factory. The maple laminate back and sides look good. Has strap pins. Body has a thick high gloss polyurethane finish obviously to keep costs down. Fretwork work was great.Tuners are Grover which are great and pickgaurd looks very good but not as refined as the Gibson. Action: Action has always been great. I do my setups and just a very little sanding was needed at saddle when purchased new until upgraded. Skill Level: Semi-Pro Do you own this product?: Play it every day.
