Jazzmaster/Jaguar style thinline acoustic, with a rosewood strat neck. Trans-amber finish. Fishman onboard Eq and tuner with internal pickup plus lipstick tele style neck pickup. The ablility to go back and forth from acoustic to electric sound is really cool. Plays like an electric! I just got this so this is just my initial impression. I don't have it fully figured out yet, but it seems like it can be multi functional. $300 Very lightly used w/gigbag.

Plugged into my Blues Deluxe I can get anywhere to a clean acoustic sound to a Gordon Gano Teleish sound. Pretty versitile
Action, Fit, & Finish

It is light and fairly well balanced. Finish is very good. Neck: think Mexican Strat. Overall good quality for its price range. My only question is how will it break in and hold up over time...It was made in China. I guess time will tell. So I'm going to give this an middle of the road rating, seeing as a 10 would your Gibson or Fender USA.
Reliability/Durability

No Opinion
We'll see. Tuners are smooth now, I wonder how they will hold up. Body construction looks decent. I'm comparing this to my USA Fender and I can see the difference in quality, but you are not paying that kind of price for this. From what I hear this generation (Electracoustic Deluxe) is head and shoulders above the older ones.

I've been playing for about 30 years. Active hobbiest and fun bands. Was looking for a guitar I could get a variety of sounds from Cash, BoDeans, to Violent Femmes, and and a bit dirtier Fender sound too. I think it will work for this whether I go direct through the PA or with an amp. So to sum it up I expect it to be good at alot of things but great at nothing. Definetly a good value for the price I paid for it.
