"Good Acoustic for the Money"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
If you want a relatively cheap acoustic for rhythm, this is the one for you. It plays and sounds great.
Sound
The high-end is crisp and well defined, not overly bright. The lows are a bit on the muddy side. Overall, it has a very smooth sound.
Features
There's no pick guard, which I suppose could be a problem with some people. They used some very good looking and sounding woods. The tonal properties of each seem to compliment each other well with the exception that the low end is muddy. Maybe they should have used a ebony fretboard.
Ease of Use
It uses '12s' so it takes some getting used to if you only play electric. I still have a hard time bending more than one semi-tone.
Quality
There are no cosmetic problems with the guitar. The body's Ash top is actually quite striking.
Value
Yes.
The Wow Factor
It is a very striking guitar. The body's Ash top makes it stand out from the typical all brown or black guitar. They should have added a cut away in the body because it's impossible to use the top six or so frets. I use this guitar more for chord work, anyways. If I had to use it for lead work I'd feel limited. The neck is the perfect width and depth for my hands.
