Shaymus: "I use an older version of this guitar (with a natural finish) for most of my shows and have played it for years now. It's very solid and non-tempermental, and gets a good amplified sound through a P.A. The tone and character of the guitar is even nicer unplugged, and I've never had any problem with its slipping tune or weirding out on me. Very dependable, rich sounding guitar"

Shaymus "..the under-saddle pickup is easily EQued by slides on the first upper bout, and the guitar is really quite comfortable sitting in your lap. On stage, it's very light and well-balanced...which is why I use it for shows I guess..."

Shaymus "This guitar has taken quite a beating on the road with me but hasn't cried once. It is very sturdy and well put together, and I have a lot of trust in it...which you need to have if you're going to play live with something. I'm glad I own it"

Shaymus "I don't remember what I paid for it originally, but whatever it was, it was worth it. There's nothing better than not having to worry about your instrument during a gig - really. Considering all the playing and recording I've done with this guitar (most of the Mystic Carousel album was recorded with it) I'm surprised it still likes me. That's loyalty...like a dog"

Folk

Thick, full sound acoustic or plugged. Sounds great with thick strings down to Martin Marquis Lights (my preference), no lighter than .012-.054mm

Perfectly engineered. Input placement in strap peg is handy (keeps strap from interfering), EQ placed directly in your sight, away from annoyances (hidden by strap like other similar priced ac/el's). Black colour w/ pickguard is extremely stylish.

Solid top and option of black colour (along with polyurethane gloss finish) make this an axe that will definately catch your eye and crave it. Use Dunlop Formula No. 65 polish & cleaner.

Even Fender's recommended price of US$599 is uncontended by any worthwhile ac/el. For it's size, shape, and price this is the best value Fender ac/el, and quite possibly the best ac/el out there.

Self-caused problems before & after warranty were repaired quickly and craftfully. (Under warranty all problems dealt with without cost)

Everyone who's ever seen mine has wanted it.

Folk/rock

It makes me sound good and Im not very good. it sound relly good on recordings and live (on the amp because i never have playd live ye)

it came with tools and extra stuff and that is olyas good.

Alternative, rock.

This thing blows any acoustic in it's price range (and a little above) out of the water: no bad rings and stays well tuned for a long time.

You have to love the Fishman EQ ... totally not expected for what I paid for this guitar.

You can take one glance at this guitar and tell it was made with care.

I had a price range when I bought my DG-20CE and out of the guitars I played there was no comparison to it.

I wouldn't know ... it hasn't given me a chance to call ask for help.

Before I picked it up I was bias in my choice because it looks so pretty.

Varies.
