The Finish is quite amazing this guitar has the most awesome plain old wood with light depth in it!! its body style is a normal single ply back binding folk guitar with cut away body and nato mahogny top and back side, has grover tuners which are very reliable and really accurate, has a thin neck ,Dread nought . It also has an amazingly beautiful head stock crafted in indonaisa, but still really high quallity. It has 20 frets , has an equallizer very simple only volume a tone, I'm not sure about this but I have played this guitar for a while and on stage it never caused any trouble like hawling and stuff.
Sound

I play pretty much about all styles of music from metal to jazz and country blues , and I've also tryed different types of strings like blue grass and extra light the thing is this guitar has an incredible boom in it and its really accurate. but the problem is when I installed the blue grass strings they were really really heavy and sounded amazing but they made changes in the truss rod especially in 45 degree celsius so I had re adjust. another thing is that this guitar makes amazing slaps you know stuff like john mayor's neon song it even sounded better.
Action, Fit, & Finish

the action was great at first but when I got curious I installed heavy blue grass d'addario strings the truss rod needed adjustments. and its factory setting was great the bridge was perfect since there was no intonation on any string and the strings where set to 1.5m which is pretty good to me.
Reliability/Durability

You see concidering the price of this guitar it is as durable as a steel block, but after 2 years of playing on this guitar with blue grass strings for about 2 hours daily My fret are starting to wear but no difference in the sound. and it would definetly with stand live playing, and it probably fell about 20 times but its still the same nothing happened, the strap buttons are steel cause the output jack comes from the strap button. I used this guitar on a gig with out back up alot and it really held in well.

I've been playing for 7 years now and I think this guitar is really up to the task although when connected it looses bass or becomes a little treblish so I have over come this problem by reducing the tone and increasing the volume
