I recieved this Paragon orchestra model guitar on a giveaway contest that Paragon conducted. The guitar is brand new. It has a satin finish and a solid sitka spruce top with solid mahogany back and sides. The guitar is naturally beautiful and the craftmanship is second to none
Sound
:

This guitar has an unbelievable full and rich tone for a guitar this new. It has perfect balance, not too boomy or bright, with all frequencies projecting loud and clear, with no buzzes or rattles. It has great sustain and sounds great whether I'm strumming, flat picking or fingerpicking.
Action, Fit, & Finish

The workmnaship on this guitar is fantactic. Everything seems right on and it feels solid as a rock. I'd like the string action slightly lower but nothing to whine over and I can adjust that myself.
Reliability/Durability
:
No Opinion
Time will tell. The guitar is brand new but everything about this guitar seems to be of the highest quality, from the Grover tuners to the bridge and saddle.

I got this as a freebie for a Giveaway promotion that Paragon put on. Talking to Rob he seems like a super nice guy that I would like to do business with, although I don't really know how they work with their real customers.
Overall Rating

I've been playing guitar for over 35 years. My acoustics include Martin, Tacoma, and and old 70's BC Rich, all excellent guitars but the Paragon is at a totally higher level. I'm a school teacher in San Luis Obispo, CA so my budget on musical instruments is limited. If this guitar was stolen I'd sure hussle up enough gigs so I could eventually get a new one.
If you are in the market for a high quality, custom made, killer instrument, check out the Paragon website. These guys are the real deal.
