Review: Awesome guitar, great seller - I purchased this guitar through one of the authorized third-party retailers. It was a floor model listed as used-like new. For the discount they gave, it was well worth it. They shipped it quickly, it came with everything a new purchase would and they certified the first-time owner's manufacturer's warranty was still valid. It was very secure in the shipping and not a single mark on the guitar. The only evidence it'd even been used were a few fingerprints, but it was so shiny and clean. As far as the instrument itself, I was apprehensive about purchasing a guitar online but all the stores since the pandemic have such limited stock anymore so I took a chance and have been blown away. The craftsmanship is amazing, it feels so comfortable and good to play, and most importantly it sounds so good. It produces overtones with every chord. I love playing it just acoustic, but the pickup is also top-notch quality as well. I also love the built-in chromatic tuner. Overall, this is easily one of the best guitars I've ever played and I couldn't be happier.
Review: Great playing and looking guitar - I like this guitar! It plays and sounds great out of the box. The action is just right and its not too low and giving me buzz. It looks beatiful and well made! This has become one of my main gig guitars.
