Should last for years and will be used a lot. I would replace if stolen, although I will be looking at higher end folk size instruments now that I have gotten this one.
Sound
Very pleasing. Not twangy or uncontrolled, but mellow and in tune up and down the frets. Bass is a muted, but this may be characteristic of all smaller guitars.
Features
Comes with hard solid feeling hard case and Elixir strings. Same tuners as my dreadnaught Regent.
Ease of Use
This guitar can be played and played! Maybe the Elixir strings have something to do with it, but the action seems very good right out og the box. A quality control slip seems to indicate that the set up was checked at the factory, although the strings are shipped slack.
Quality
Plenty of laquer, but all is well. No chips, dings, scratches, bubbles.
Value
A nice little axe in a hard case. Fun to play and pleasant sounding.
Manufacturer Support
No experience.
