I don't expect to replace this guitar but it has raised the bar as to what I would expect from an acoustic.
Sound
This guitar has more low end than my previous acoustics and yet the bass is clearer.. The guitar sounds bigger than it is and has a real 3D liveliness that even some higher priced custom guitars don't seem to possess. Although the electronic controls are minimal, the pickup sounds great and is very responsive to touch and pick attack! My first impression at a gig was that this is a serious guitar that's easy to push to front of the mix just by picking harder-my acoustic leads are finally heard..
Features
Case is very nice, although a bit gawdy for my taste-it has 6 locks and seems virtually airproof, not a cheapo.. Tuners are a good ratio for fine tuning an acoustic.. Nut and Saddle seem setup very well, I might lower the strings but maybe not..
Ease of Use
Didn't come with a manual but really, there's 2 knobs in the soundhole-what's to tell you?
Quality
Finish is flawless, if there was an imperfection I couldn't find it.. the glossy top looks great against the matte sides-back of the neck is perfect.. One piece neck/headstock is very nice..
Value
I think it's a great value compared with Taylor and some other brands that offer a good acoustic at a reasonable price-well worth the money.
Manufacturer Support
I'm going to say the best-as I couldn't find anything wrong with the guitar!
The Wow Factor
Has a cool, unique look amongst standard dreadnought acoustics..
