Dreadnought, Grover-like tuners, 20 frets, mahogany body, spruce top, dunno bout the neck. I really like it, the tuners are incredible and superior to those I had on my Gibson SG Faded, which by the way sucked.
Sound
:
10
Well I play everything from Dylan to Danzig to the Blues.
The sound fits fingerstyle playing, strumming and soloing aswell.
You get that bassy sound when you need it and the high parts also sound very good and it's easy to manipulate these sounds with this guitar, which I find hard to do with other guitars.
I've played Martins (especially 000-15) and this one is better, and it's also 1/5 of the price of that Martin.

Well, the neck wasn't adjusted and stuff, but they fixed that at the shop.
Otherwise everything was perfect.
Reliability/Durability

I've dropped this one alot of times. On alot of places...in my room.
I always think something is gonna break or that it's gonna crack open, but it never has.
I think it'd be an effective shield if some burglar carrying a knife would get into my house and try to stab me.
This is a rock. The Gibson SG Faded is the opposite.

Never dealt with the company, but the store I bought it at said they'd help me and give discounts if I got any problems with this one.
Overall Rating

Well I've only played for a year and a half now.
I've owned a Gibson SG Faded, which I grew to HATE.
I didn't know anything about guitars when I bought this one and this one was recommended and I kinda just bought it.
And it was worth it.
If it was stolen, I'd probably get another one, these come incredibly cheap, 1500 swedish crowns, which is somewhere around 250 dollars.
It's just...that guitar you can count on. It's solid, sounds good and is fun to play almost everything with.
I'll compare this one to the Martin 000-15, and I can say this one surpasses the Martin with JUST A LITTLE. And the price, well, a fifth of what the martin costs.
