Sound

10
When I first bought this guitar it sounded alot like an old Gibson acoustic,kind of on the thuddy side,but sounded nice.I put a bone saddle and rosewood bridgepins in place of the plastic ones it comes with and it made this guitar come to life,sounds more like a Martin now than a Gibson.I have a 0001 Martin and I play this guitar as much as the Martin if not more it sounds amazing.
