Comments:
Full, bright sound especially with Elixir extra lites. Best sounding Guitar I've ever owned. I replaced the bridge saddle with bone and the sound got even better.
Quality:
Comments:
Small flaw on neck about 1 inch by 1/2 inch. Looks like something touched the satin finish before it was dry. I didn't see it for a few days after I bought it.
Overall:
Pros:
Wonderful sound, great intonation, easy fingering, a real pleasure to play. Can't believe I got it so cheap. Hate to leave it home so I take it to the Firestation with me.
Cons:
If not kept waxed the body will show fingerprints and dirt smudges.
