Quality
Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable?
I consider it to be very well made
Reliability
How has it stood up over time?
I have only owned it a few days so I cannot say
General
Your general opinion of this product.
I bought the Spruce top and the finish has a beautiful flawless appearance. It is fun to play and hard to put down. Very nice that it comes with Salvaraz high tension strings. It also has a truss rod which is good because the action is very high coming from the manufacturer. I love the onboard tuner and find it to be pretty accurate. The Fishman electronics are a blast and are plenty loud enough for any occasion. I play this guitar mostly unplugged and it is loud enough to fill the room without being plugged in. My only complaint besides the high action is that the guitar and case are made in China
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 noticeably light the first time you pick it up
Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
Very Bright sound that I am sure will only mellow with age.
Finish
How did the stain or paint job look?
The finish is fantastic, I strum and pick this guitar and find I'm nervous about marring its beautiful spruce top. I am trying to be careful with it but when you're constantly playing it the finish may not be perfect forever
Action
How was the action out of the box?
Very high, I tried adjusting the truss rod but ended up sanding down the saddle and have it where I want the action to be. Bliss!
