I've had the guitar for over a month. Though I use Earnie Ball strings on my electrics, I prefer D Addarios on my acoustics. I don't like my strings to sound too bright. I like that warn in tone. If your expecting a perfect guitar without flaws, forget it. I've had guitars that cost 10 times the amount, and they still have some flaws. The finish is ok, some specs of dirt and excess glue. One ding on side. You can't see it without looking for it. Tuners average, was already planning on changing them anyway. But will keep the tuner buttons. They feel great. The part that matters, the frets, action, and then tone. The frets are smooth, nothing sticking out to scratch your hand. Action is set low with no fret buzz. I prefer higher action as I am a heavy picker. So I changed to new saddle that I could set higher. The sound is amazing when you consider the cost. Strings play a big part of your tone, so always experiment. Would I buy another, yes I am. The fact you get a decent gig bag, an acoustic/electric with solid top and setup done before it's shipped to you. What's not to like about that. I pretty much replace a lot parts on my guitars when I buy them new anyway, even custom shop strats. So for me, this is a great deal. Believe me, you can't go wrong with Orangewood.
