Sound

This is a great guitar for the money. It sounds so much better than most guitars in the $250 price range because of its solid top. The sound is much warmer than other guitars in this price range that have a laminated top. I haven't really been playing long enough to have a "style" of playing. This guitar is basic enought that it would work for almost anything.
Action, Fit, & Finish

I don't know how well the guitar was set up at the factory, but the guys at The String Shoppe in Columbus, OH did a beautful job of setting it up just right. The action is just the right height for ease of play and no buzzing. I've inspected the guitar and haven't found a single flaw yet. Most guitars in this price range have glue showing or file marks on the frets - this one doesn't.
Reliability/Durability
:
No Opinion
The guitar seems very durable. The gloss finish will definitely last a long time. It's a beginner guitar - so I don't really think gigging is an issue.

The warranty is two years, although I really don't know what could go wrong with it.

I'm a beginner and I was looking for a guitar I would find useful for a couple of years. This guitar sounds great for the money. It's good looking and well made too. I was looking at acoustic electrics in this price range till I picked this guitar up and played it. Give one a try. There is no other guitar in this price range with grovers and a solid top.
