First the positive. This guitar has wonderful trebles and decent mids. The tone is great - bright but not brittle. The sustain lasts for days, which for my style, I love. I also love the feel of the neck, and the body size and shape are comfortable. The tuning machines are smooth and accurate. On the downside, the bass is weak and lacks the sustain of the trebles. The braces, as visible from the sound hole, are a little rough a places . There is also a spot on the top where the finish was obviously not applied evenly.
There is a uniqueness to the tone - a slight boxiness that adds character. I may hang onto it for that reason and the playability and hope the bass will open more.
