Sound
:
No Opinion
I just wanted an acoustic to knock around with when camping or in the backyard. I ran across this bargain and had to get it.
The sound is flat; that is: not excessively rich or bright; quite even across the spectrum.
Plugged in:
Peavey Stereo Chorus 400 - So, so. Chorus effect helps.
Gibson Titan III - Oh, baby!

I don't know how it came from the factory. The previous owner had it set-up by a well-known luthier; therefore it plays better than most electrics.
Fit & finish is perfect.
Small gripe: If one tries to put it in the case correctly, you will inadvertently turn on the E-tuner and have a dead battery the next time you pull it out.
Reliability/Durability
:
No Opinion
I would harbor no misgivings re: using the AEF18 to gig; it appears solid in every way. Be sure to carry a back-up battery if you are going to use it electric.

Unfortunately, limited talent hinders many years of playing!
Love: The action, the price.
Hate: Nada
I would buy it again if lost, stolen or otherwise maligned.
