It's craftmanship is really right on...the kind you would see in more expensive models (well done for sure)!
Reliability
How has it stood up over time?
Going on two months now and it's really sturdy, but light. Not bulky at all. Has a really good feel and shape to it...It's holding up well; just as I expected.
Overall
Your general opinion of this product.
Great craftmship, nice feel to it. Awesome sound - plugged or unplugged (seriously)!
Playability and Feel
How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing?
It feels right. The way a nylon string guitar should feel, not some heavy piece of crap.
Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
It's warm, bright and projects fairly loud, even without the electronics on...it really sounds GOOD, plugged or unplugged. I did some digital recording with it and it sounded really nice.
Finish
How did the stain or paint job look?
Beautiful...simply beautiful!
Action
How was the action out of the box?
Just right...no setup needed here. You can play blues, some rock, classical, pop, etc. Really, there's no limitations regarding the factory set up. They actually did it right!

I had it now for about a month and I can say it really is made nice (and I mean NICE)! Sturdy for sure. I often depend on it for my recording and teaching studio.
Reliability
How has it stood up over time?
So far so good! Don't expect it to go bad on me. Just take care of it and it'll serve you well. Oh yeah, it comes with an awesome/beautiful full padded soft case. Made extremely well and something you would be proud of to carry around (seriously).
Overall
Your general opinion of this product.
A very nice guitar. Well made, excellent craftmanship. It has a good feel to it and the sound is smooth and balanced, plugged or unplugged. Good to great tone in it's bass, mid range and trebbble. overall I find it to be an outstanding guitar (not for kids though)! Definately an adult guitar!
Playability and Feel
How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing?
Feels nice in your hands, good set-up, nice neck shape (thinner) and easy to get to the electronics (real easy, especially where they placed them) This is a keeper for sure!! You won't go wrong with this one - trust me on this. It's totally professional!
Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
Smooth, but bright highs, warm bass and even a balanced mid-range too. I love it! Hech, it even comes with its own "Fishman" built-in tuner - a big plus guys and gals!
Finish
How did the stain or paint job look?
Pro finish all the way...looks super and even feels smooth on the hands by the neck. And don't kid yourself, the neck is not thick (fat) like other classicals - they narrowed it down a bit so that you can play other types of music. Cool huh?
Action
How was the action out of the box?
Great action right out of the box - no professional set-up needed here. And, I know, I have been playing for nearly forty years now and teaching as well! They actually did a fine job on the set-up!! Plus they used expensive quality strings too.

Your general opinion of this product.
I had my eye on this baby all year. I finally purchased it this month. It comes in a very nice gig bag, stringed and tuned. I am impressed with the workingmanship and finish.
Playability and Feel
How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing?
Suprisingly light. Smooth action on the neck. I immediately changed the strings it came with. I ordered a set with the third string wound and it sounds alot better. Controls are great, easy access to get the tuner going.
Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
Mellow tone, just like a nylon string should be.
Finish
How did the stain or paint job look?
Five starts, it is a beautiful instrument.
Action
How was the action out of the box?
The action is comfortable to work with. I especially like the height of the strings from the fretboard, easy action. The cut-away allows for easier access to those high notes.

How was the action out of the box?
The action is fine for me., plenty of room for my larger hands which is why I purchased this guitar in the first place I highly recommend it if you are in need of added room for larger hands., the cutaway helps with using all the frets and lets you manipulate the entire length of the neck with and added ease.

Wondeful Guitar

Action
How was the action out of the box?
The strings were to high.And I simply don't like my strings
too high.So I had to
do some adjustment to
the bridge.So, very carefully I file the plastic of the the bridge to achieve a height that I like.Then I file again, very carefully the nut to lower the strings
a bit at the nut.
Once I've done that
I'm happy with my guitar.I have done this many times.Some time I end up buying new nut & bridge parts because I didn't pay attention.
Quality
Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable?
It was made very well.
I was expecting to see
small nick & lumps
but everything is nice and smooth.
Reliability
How has it stood up over time?
This guitar will last
a long time.But it must be taken of.When
I'm going to put it
away, I loosen the
strings up.Because I had an acoustic guitar a long time ago and the whole
bridge came of.
Overall
Your general opinion of this product.
This is a well made guitar.The finish is nice and shiny.
Playability and Feel
How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing?
The guitar is very light.It feels a bit
chunky but it's an acoustic guitar.The neck for me is nice I got big hands.
Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
Very bright tone.I've
put it on 15 watt amp
and it sound really nice.Then I try the 150 watt amp and the
bass really sound it good
Finish
How did the stain or paint job look?
The finish very nice.
