Quality
Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable?
Quality of manufacture is excellent. The neck appears to be machined, while the solid wood back, sides and top are hand-assembled. I see no visible quality issues; very pleased.
Reliability
How has it stood up over time?
Haven't had it long, but it appears to be well-built
Overall
Your general opinion of this product.
Holds its own with the expensive Martins and Taylors. This is the best buy out there for an ALL SOLID wood guitar.
Playability and Feel
How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing?
The neck is thinner than some dreadnaughts, but plays very naturally. I have bit hands and still find the playability to be very comfortable. Feels great!
Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
Tone is well-balanced with a warm presence that still cuts through. It's loud, with full-sounding chords and just the right amount of mid-range for leads on the upper part of the fretboard.
Finish
How did the stain or paint job look?
Fit and finish are excellent
Action
How was the action out of the box?
Action suits me, but may be a bit high for others.
