I read a ton of reviews before buying this, it made me leery due to some of them, then I re-read them and realized the sillyness.Complaint number 1- it isnt that loud when unplugged.Okay, this is an electric acoustic, NOT and acoustic electric, this means it acts more like an electric with an acoustic tone. This means no, you wont bang around a campfire with it singing wonderwall. It is designed and meant to be plugged in.It is loud enough for hotel room warm up by yourself though,Complaint number 2 - it goes through a battery quicklty and it is a pain to replace,cant do it fast on stage.This complaint, I have to assume you lack experience. Any experienced person knows, before doing a set, you either test any battery you will iuse, or simply change them. I always change the day before when I wont play anymore, never had a problem, this goes for pedals too.I did change my battery before I left on my trip, out of all the sets this one had a few hours on it, battery is still good, the main thing, when not playing it, unplug it, get yourself into that mindset habit.Now for the guitar, I purposely put some bright D'addario's on it as I would have drums, 2 other electric guitars and a badd and organ, I wanted to cut through the mix.

On stage it looks good, sounds good, and did its job with zero issues. The pre-mp performed flawless, never used the tuner on stage though. There was zero feedback issues, which we all know is hugeI would easily use this for a plugged in acoustic show, or 80's ballads, or anything else
