I definitely love the sound and playability of the Sage. It resonates like crazy when I'm strumming, picking, or playing fingerstyle. The torrified top wood also looks beautiful, as do the mahogany back and sides! My only real concern was the neck had a bunch of light scratches in the satin finish in a handful of spots. This was supposed to be a brand new guitar and it seems like a slightly used one. Kind of a bummer, but overall I like it a bunch!
