Best playing acoustic guitar I've ever played. Great neck profile: smooth and easy to play - like butter - easier to play than my Martin D-42 & Gibson J100 Xtra. Set up perfect right out of the case which in itself was great: included a shroud & built-in hygrometer. Fantastic Pearl White painted top - there is pearl right in the paint - really sparkles. Dreadnought body with Sitka Spruce top & East Indian Rosewood back & sides - beautiful solid tone woods. There is absolutely no plastic on this guitar. Even the bridge pins, all binding & the tuner buttons are made out of wood. Meticulous craftsmanship all around - entirely hand made.
Sound

Great full sound with all the volume you would expect from a Dreadnought. Nice tight bottom end with clear mids & highs. Full, warm & rich. It was very easy to get a great sound during my recording sessions with this guitar.
Action, Fit, & Finish
:

Played great right out of the case. Perfect set-up. Action was just right. Frets were dressed perfectly. No flaws in this puppy at all. I've been playing for over 20 years, it was quite apparent that the finish, inlays, etc. were all done by top notch craftsman.
Reliability/Durability

The craftsmanship on this guitar is impeccable. All the parts and woods are of the best quality. Very solid feel. I don't play live much but I see no reason why this guitar couldn't handle a full blown tour. This guitar will most likely out last me.

I did make one call to the company & the gentlemen I spoke with was very gracious & was more than willing to answer all my questions. You could tell there was a passion there.
Overall Rating

This is a great guitar all around. I consider it somewhat of a steal for what it is. Any major manufacturer would have charged me double for a guitar with all these features & it still wouldn't be an all hand made guitar. I highly recommend it to everyone.
