| 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. |
