Sound
:
9
This was my first Steelstring-Guitar and I still play it daily!
The Sound is very very sweet, rich and warm. The basses are soft but never muddy. The highs are precise. The mids are awsome! This is a great strumming guitar. I use it every year when I go camping and I always play it in front of 100 people. The peaple love my guitar :-) The volume is great.
I rated only 9 because the basses could be a little bit stronger.
Action, Fit, & Finish
:
6
Ohoh... the action. I had really problems with the action. It was very high. Way too high. I had to give this guitar to repair in a shop (I payed 15??? for that including a new bone bridge).
The frets are, after 4 years of excesive playing, used. They have moulds. The rosewood fretboard is still good!
Reliability/Durability
:

As I mentioned, I play this guitar every year, very loud at a campfire. The thing I hate most is when I cant rely on my instrument. Unfortunately this happend... A small piece of the bridge broke out and my G string teard 4 times at this evening (-->repair in a shop). This was very embarrassing. Some of them laughed. I heard someone saying: "He can't play guitar without destroying the strings." I think this is something that musicians do not want to experience...
The pros: After all the years of excesive use, the guitar has no(!) scratches. It resists extreme(!!!) temperature and humidy fluctuations (20??C-60??C in 2-3 hours! Believe it!).

I love this guitar. I would be very sad if it was stolen. I experienced so much with this guitar and it showed me that steel-string guitars are my favourites. I think I would buy it again. But this time, I would look after the action and the bridge. And I would change the bridge into a bone bridge.
