I've been shopping acoustics for a few months. Played a number of different models ranging from $150 to $1000+, from Fender to Takamine to Martin and others in between. I'm kind of picky, I guess. Unplugged,this guitar has excellent sound, maybe a tad on the bright side. Different strings might make a difference. Even so, the sound is good, well balanced and fills the room nicely. Plugged in, the sound is excellent as well. Electronics are some of the best that I had used. There is plenty of volume and the output is clean. The EQ and Shaping allows sound to be tailored to fit with about any amp. Tried in the store with Roland acoustic amp and other small acoustic amps. Also works well with my Marshall TSL60.

As mentioned earlier, the electronics are very good. I would like to have seen it come with a strap lug on the body somewhere by the neck.

There were two of these in the store, and I played both of them. I found the quality to be consistant between the two. Nice looking. Doesn't say "cheap guitar". Haven't had any problems with finish yet. Tuning heads seem to be of good quality.

Very good value. Worth the money.

Haven't needed support yet.

The sound this produces is quite full and well rounded. It projects very well for unplugged settings at a small venue or around the campfire.

The hardware is all still perfectly fine after 20 years of use other than the electronics. Those quit working but only after 2 decades of use.

This will play great for a beginner or vet. Probably not the easiest to learn on because of slightly higher string height off the fret board which leads to easier buzzing if you don’t get the string down all the way, but not an issue for a vet

Never had a problem with this guitar and it has traveled a lot, been outdoors, never had a ton of care paid to humidity levels… it just lasts. I do care for it well with polishes, gentle handling and always store in a case, so if you keep your things nice, this will last a long time.

More than worth it. It’s not as nice to play as your Taylor’s but it is much much cheaper and still sounds almost as good. As I mentioned before, it just wears your fingers a little quicker because of the slightly higher string height.

Never had to deal with the manufacturer

The guitar has a beautiful look and sound to it that projects an instrument of much more cost. What you get for the money is quite appealing. If the price were matched to guitars with comparable sounds quality and detailing, you’d probably pay at least double the selling price

The sound is rich and full, sounds better than many guitars costing much more. I really enjoy this guitar. Sounds even better on an amp.

The electrics work very well.

The quality is good, but not the best. Don't get me wrong, it is a beautiful guitar.

The value was outstanding. I got an incredible guitar for the price. I actually paid less than the average here, but I was able to negotiate with the store i purchased it from.

I can only say that the store I bought it from was awesome. I haven't needed the service yet.

I wanted it as soon as I saw it and left the store with it knowing I'd spend the next week in the dog house. :)

It has the strong lows and clear highs of the Tacoma DM10 which is a MUCH more expensive investment.

FISHMAN Electronics are the BEST!

I want to say that IBANEZ is perfect, but having been made in CHINA leaves some QC problems. I did find some roughness, especially in the BRIDGE area.

The price of 199.95 is awesome. My local Music Store in Colorado Springs could not touch this price. This is priced at most music shops COST. I will judge value by my 1985 IBANEZ Roadstar II, Ibanez is an Excellent bang for the buck.

I rate a 5 mainly on the basis that I have never needed any support. Dealing with the support techs is something that I do not do unless it is the last resort, no matter what the item or company.

It is a beautiful, sexy instrument. Had I been able to play as well as I do now, with this guitar when I was 17-18 yrs old, I would have been probably the most popular guy in the school.

This is the best sounding guitar I have played in this price range. I shoppe around for over a week and play dozens of $250.00 to $350.00 guitars and found this to come closest to the sound in my head. I played it unplugged for over an hour and was a little turned off by the "brightness" of it (probably due to the cut-away body), but once I plugged it in, and I used several mid-range and high-end amps, I just loved it. I asked the sales person to play it for me and I was surprised that it was no longer as "bright" as I had heard before, and I was sold.

I really enjoyed the sound of the pick-up at the store, I am now shopping for an amp for it so I've yet to plug it in since.

This is where I've been disappointed. The quality of the wood and neck seem fine, it's been about six weeks. It's a laminate body, which means it's less fragile to changes in humidity, but the finish is just very cheap, it already has several chips in the finish and I have no idea how or when they got there. They were not there when I brought it home and I take good care of all my instruments. It seems that even the slightest bump will chip the finish.

It's a great value for the money, it sounds great and I plan on playing for many years to come. The Fishman p/u is one of the main reasons for it's value to me, so I guess it's worth it's price.

N/A, haven't felt the need to contact them.

On looks alone, it's a beautiful guitar, like many other beautiful guitars.

This guitar has a sweet tone. A very nice investment. The quality is great. Sounds good when I play mine.I am not a professional guitarist but I know a winner when I see one.By itself it sounds perfect. This guitar would sound nice with other instruments as well.

It is easy to get a wonderfull sound from it.

This guitar is made very well. The inside of mine is nice and clean looking, and the wood that is revealed inside of it was put together nicely. The only flaw I see is that a wire seems to hang a little bit but it has no effect on the sound. This guitar is dependable.There are no blemishes. I especially like the neat surface and varnish job on it. The pretty wood grain is nice. I like this guitar. Most of the time I enjoy looking at it, and it's clean and neat varnish job. It is worth more than it's retail price.

This guitar is worth more than I paid for it. It is a beauty.

I am going to give this a ten because I never needed to contact anyone.
