This is where she shines. Very loud, very clear, and it rings out for a long time. for 300 bucks, i couldnt be any happier

Factory set-up was great, action was perfect.
This isn't a fancy guitar by any means. With dot fretboard inlays, and one choice of colors (natural), it keeps the look of a simple acoustic guitar. But a close look over the smooth grain of the spruce top and the bright gold speckles of the mahogany sides and back, and you can't help but to notice the beauty of the wood. My guitar has no noticable flaws, but for a guitar in this price range, I would assume that I must have been very lucky. I could be wrong.

In the year that i've had it i've had no trouble at all with this guitar, and it has a very solid feel to it. I would feel completely comfortable relying on this guitar for a gig with no back up. The strat button, altough plastic, is solid.

i would buy this guitar again if it got stepped on or something.
in comparing the guitar to others in the store and with friends' guitars (for sound alone) this thing held its own against some 500+ dollar guitars, and sounded better than any of the other 300 dollar guitars that the store had.
for 300 dollars, this guitar has an awesome sound.

Solid-top, 20 frets, Acoutic no electronics. Spruce top, mahogany back and sides and nato neck with rosewood fret board. Natural Gloss finish, it has a couple of blemishes in the stain one on the neck where it joins the body a dark spot of stain and on the top above the sound hole toward the neck just above the low E string it looks like a water spot. Other wise the guitar is beautiful. It's a dreadnaught, chrome tuners. Nothing included with purchase. I would give it a ten but the two blemishes in the finish prevents me.

It suits me fine. I play Contemp Christain worship, Vineyard and Kingsway stuff. I use with a Fender Acoustasonic Jr amp and Dean Markley Pro-Mag. It sounds beautiful with the amp or by it self. It has a rich full sound and the highs ring and bass booms. I really enjoy this guitar. I like the sound better than my friends Larivee D-1 and my Epiphone Pr-250S and the Mitchell solid top I use to have. I like the sound and feel of the D'addario Phospher Bronze Light strings the best.

The setup was little high for me. I took it in and after they performed a setup for me it is great. In the store I got a little buzzing when paying moderate but after setup no buzzing at all. Everything looks great and sounds great. I checked the fretboard all up and down the neck no buzzing.

I think this guitar can stand up to about any thing. For the price it is a great guitar. Everything is solid.

I've been playing about 14 months I love it. I owe a Epiphone Pr-250S and a Fender Acoustasonic Jr amp and a Dean Markley Pro-Mag pickup. It sounds very nice amplified and not.

20 Frets, Solid Spruce Top, no electronics, Gloss Natural Finish on a Dreadnought body. (Only a 9 because they should make more acoustics in tobbaco sunburst)
Sound
:

I play stuff like Lynard Skynard, Collective Soul, Live, Eric Clapton, and Guns n' Roses. This guitar is perfect for any style of music. Solo's and finger picking sound especially nice. My only complaint about the sound is it has too much bass when you're trying to record with a mic, but that's the problem with all drednaughts I've played. I've played Guild drednaughts that can't beat it.

It had THE WORST factory setup I've ever seen. I didn't play it much for a month untill I changed the strings, raised the bridge on the treble side with little peices of cardboard and lowered the action. I plays perfect now except for buzzing on the 13th fret on the second string which I've been told can't be fixed without leveling the frets. With a little adjustments it's perfect now. No flaws.

Very reliable, and very well made. People say Fender can't make good acoustics, but they're the best made for anywhere neer the price. Anything Fender makes is a really solid insturment, I checked out a handmade Canadian-made acoustic that wasn't neerly as well made as this one.

Never had to deal with them. (one thing I should mention is that it's in perfect condition, but I can only get less than half the price for trade in... Why, I don't know)

Awesome sound. For around $500 you just can't find anything that sounds better. This guitar has such a bright and vibrant sound it's incredible. I play a lot of blues and Dave Matthew's band and this guitar is awesome for whatever sound you're going for.

Everything is great, but the best word I can use to describe the action is tough. But the sound more than makes up for it. If you were to learn on this guitar, anything you go to after would be a piece of cake. The actual finish is beautiful. The solid spruce top and the mahogany sides and back are a beautiful combination. There are also some nice detail work around the back and front.

Had it for around 3 years now and it's still perfect. I've played the hell out of it too! It still looks like it's new. If one were to take proper care of this guitar it would last forever.

I've been playing for about 3 years now but according to those around me I sound like I've been playing all my life. I've played so much in the past few years you can't even comprehend. I've played this guitar the entire time and it's still perfect. It only sounds better with age. I also own a fender strat with 15" TOA amp and a squire champ amp. This acoustic guitar is my baby though. If it were stolen I would buy it again, but I might consider moving up in price to a Martin. This is an awesome guitar though, especially for what it costs. The action is a notch short of greatness, but the sound is just magnificent.

Has an absolute priceless sound for it's price. Very loud, clear, sound like in concert. I have Martin GoldLine Plus electronics installed in it and it sounds absolutely perfect. I couldn't have found a better guitar within the next $500 up.

I was suprised with the action when I got it from the factory, i expected that I had to lower it but it was actually just right. I could have lowered it but that would damage the tone and sound. The guitar contained no flaws from the factory

Everything on the guitar is really solid. I expect to have it for a life time. It sounds better as it ages.

The guitar lists for $450 but I got it discounted at $350. I would like it if this guitar came in black but it only comes in natural, oh well. If it were stolen, I would definitely but it again. I compared it to acoustic guitars from Ibanez, Epiphone, Guild, Seagull, and Ovation and for the price, it came way over the top. I've been playing for about a year now and also own an Epiphone Les Paul and a Marshall amp (VS100R). I love the sound that I get out of it, rich and full, not to mention, LOUD! The Nato neck gives it sort of a "different feel". Less slippage then mahogany, but let's you move freely upon it. It's like, if you press hard on the Nato, it holds, if you press lightly, it let's you slide. Overall, I absolutely LOVE this guitar.
