How was the action out of the box?
The action is actually very good out of the box. Its a little high at the top frets where you can not play too well anyways so it was not a big issue.

Other than a few really not noticeable finish flaws, it seems like it is put together very well and I feel it will last a long time.

Your general opinion of this product.
This is one of the best sounding guitars I have played especially if looks is one of your factors in purchasing. Very good lows mids and bright highs all in one. The colors are not as bright red as it seems which is definitely a good thing and all the pearloid inlays, etc. look great.
Playability and Feel
How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing?
I like the neck not too thick like most acoustics. It feels like my Epiphone Les Paul Ultra III, great for fast movement.
Tone

It has the best all around sound in this price range. Very bright sound on the highs and a good deep sound for the lows.
Finish
How did the stain or paint job look?
There were a few little very minor finish flaws but you have to look for them but for a 300 dollar guitar, especially a gloss finish, it looks great.

Im in the process of replaceing my Hummingbird ( mine was stolen ) For my money its the best guitar on the market for the money. You wont find a better playing guitar unless you want to spend 3k or more on a new Gibson Hummingbird.

For the time I have owned it, I can't say how dependable it is. It has some small flaws in the finish that I can certanly live with. I have only played it a few times.

Not bad. It seems to need a set up. the 12th fret is off a bit, but you can't really play up there anyway

I am very pleased with this guitar, BUT, get better strings when you buy it.
Playability and Feel
How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing?
Again, as an electric player, the action is, acoustic. However, the neck is very comfortable, the tuners are solid, and stay in tune. It's a well balanced instrument, and has a pleasant feel.

Finish
How did the stain or paint job look?
Web and catalog pics show a washed out, yellowy/orange finish. In the, er, wood, it's a nice dark heritage vintage cherry.
Action
How was the action out of the box?
action was carefully checked, and right. Still a hair tall, but I'm an electric player.
