I plan on having this guitar for a long time.
Sound
The sound is great for the price. I changed the stock strings with some Elixer Nanowebs. That really changed the sound
Features
Fishman preamp is very nice!
Ease of Use
For the money this thing is awesome right out of the box. I am sure it will need some adjusting at some point. I have guys in my worship band comment on how low the action is and it doesn't buzz. These guys play Taylors amd Martins.
Quality
The only gripe I have with the costruction of the guitar is the wiring. It has alot of slack in the wires. And if you move around alot while plugged in, you can hear the wires hitting the inside of the guitar.
Other than that I have no gripes.
Value
You can't beat this guitar for its price. Like I said before. I have guys in the band that play high dollar guitars. They always want to play mine. Lol
Manufacturer Support
I haven't had any issues to need support.

This guitar looks AWESOME!!!

Wont need one for a long time.

I have purchased many guitars and amps, this is BY FAR the best musical purchase I have ever made for a new instrument. it is stunning to look at, plays perfect no matter if plugged in or not. I have played high end Martins and Taylors that dont sound this good!

Did not come with a case, but who cares. The Fishman Tuners are flawless on this guitar.
Ease of Use
Very easy to play, fretboard is very smooth and feels good.
Quality
Have not had to deal with any break-downs, It's a Fender!

Their is not a better guitar for the money, anyone looking for an accoustic/ electric needs to go no farther than this guitar!

Not bad. Needs a minor set up. And of course better strings. I tried Dadario and martins. But wasn't happy. My paticular guitar wasn't the brightest. Expecially for being made of maple. So I ventured out and ran into a set of Ernie ball 2215 these are #10-52. WOW is all I can say. These were more powerful. Much brighter and easier to play. The onboard electronics are great. Expecially in a amp. Dirty or clean. I am very happy with this purchuse. Was going to buy a taylo. But side by side. I think with the right strings and a good set up. I will stick with the fender.

This meets my needs perfectly, If it was stolen of broken, I would replace it.
Sound
This guitar has a great sound and for the money, you can't beat it!
Features
I wish it would have come with a case, but for 350.00 you can't get everthing. The guitar is made very well and sounds great unplugged and plugged in.
Ease of Use
The Fishman pick-up sounds great.
Quality
I just got it, but it seems to be well made.
Value
Amazing Guitar, everyone should have one.

"Buy THIS GUITAR!!!"
Just bought mine the yesterday. I've only been playing acoustic for 1yr 1/2..I was looking for the next "step up" on my sound. I've been singer for years and just recently starting incorporating my playing with the band. I'm very satisfied with the sound from this little beauty! The finish is gorgeous! I am a little shocked since it's not a solid top, however, it plays damn near close to one!! I love the low action and it's warm, brighter sound. It plays well unplugged and even better plugged in! especially with the Fishman mechanics! Best buy for my bucks!!

Everything I expected is what I recieved, I ordered the guitar on a Friday afternoon and recieved it the following Tuesday! FedEx doesn't mess around, and niether does Zzounds! I removed the guitar from its nice secure packaging, tuned up, and took off! Love it, only thing is action tends to be a little bit hard, but shaving 3/24s off the bridge help a bunch. It sounds great plugged in or natural. I would most definately recomend this product to anyone in the market for a really good insturment at this price to GO FOR IT! All my guitar playing pals were wowed by its flame maple looks and it's sound also.

I bought this for my only axe to play why I am working in Afghanistan, I forgot to tell them to set it up since I am not able to run by the nearest guitar shop and have it set up. So for that I blame myself for getting an axe that should be in the garbage. I have adjusted the neck and still have a POS that buzzes all up and down the neck, This is the worst playing guitar I ever have and the sound is not all that great either. Some guitars you pick up and the feel and sound just inspires you to be all over that neck. This one...does not

"T Bucket...!%^@$^#k it! Buy it!"
Sound
I bought my T Bucket 400 to use mainly plugged in, on stage, so I didn't
mind that it wasn't the best sounding one acoustically...It's not bad
though. It just doesn't sound like a solid top guitar. But the electronics
sounded better than even the Taylor 100 or 200 series guitars...
Ease of Use
I just put the treble at twelve o' clock, boost the bass to two o' clock and back off the midrange to about ten o' clock and I'm satisfied.
I can get the action low without buzz, so it plays almost as easy as my electric guitars
Quality
I have had great luck with mine. No issues whatsoever...An occasional truss rod tweak from time to time is all.
Value
Well worth the money! Plays and feels much more expensive than it is...
