Got this to replace my round back ovation.Tone is about the same with the same weak low end,but at least it sits still in my lap.The neck is very electric like and very easy to play.Sounds best when plugged in and is how i use it.

Set up was right on from the factory, came strung with 12's. I restrung it with 11's a week later. Fit and finish was flawless,a big surprise for such an inexpensive guitar. Electronics work perfect and are easy to use.

I picked up my first guitar in 1962,and I'm still at it today. Have played and owned dozens of guitars. I rate this guitar as one of my 'GOOD' buys and i would replace if lost. I think what you get for the price here, makes it a good value. It's easy to play and looks good in the stage lights.This may be a good choice for the beginner or the pro who wants a named brand guitar with good looks,average tone
and something alittle retro.
