If I get to be really good player and have money I'd supplement with a primo one.

Sound
Sounds great out of the box through amp or recording. Pick up has clean modern sound. Sounds great recording with one pick-up channel and one mic channel. If compared to classical guitars costing a lot more which would have a "10 rated" sound. There is, to be sure, less deep resonance acoustically but it still has a fine sound and plays evenly. I may have someone replace the bridge materials as I have read about to make tone colors even better.

Features
I wanted this classical size and scale guitar, having returned another to another store manufacturer's nylon string models with a smaller neck marketed to steel string players. However since it's tuner pickup and eq are quite good, making it a modern hybrid of sorts (my reasoning) I wish it had fret markers at 3rd , 5th , 7 th , 9th and 12th frets. Neck needs body at 12th fret on top only and because of cutaway on the bottom obviously expands. I am a little far sighted and do go back and forth between that and a semi hollow body some visual help would be good. While perhaps not classical style to do that sometimes, this hybrid cutaway model, I wish had that, then I'd give it 10, other features are great.

Ease of Use
Easy to get a good sound yes.. lowered score even though I love it, again (for me) no fret markers.Maybe I'll paint em on. Any suggestions?… read more
