Maple give brightness, volume and bite. Very good sound. Bright rather than rich, but not lacking in the bass, either. Mics like a dream.
Wonderful for folk, acoustic rock and bluegrass.

Reliability/Durability

It's lasted a couple years, so it should be okay for decades.
I'd gig this alone. Everything solid. Will add 2nd strap button and a sound system son.

These guitars are magic. They turn up fairly cheap on eBay. GET ONE!!!
Mine was ultra-low price, thanks to a friend selling it to me...but try one if you can.
