CLJ-503CE WN : Quality and sound blew my expectations away!!!!

I was not expecting much due to the price tag, however the moment I unboxed this I was shocked to see how gorgeous this guitar is and all the attention to details in the finishing and hardware and inlays. And then I played the first few chords only to continue to be mesmerized on how great it sounds. Before some of you start complaining about the sound, no this is not a Taylor or a Martin... however I have played plenty of those guitars and this one will cut through in a gig as it projects really well while maintaining clarity of the notes and well balanced. I would say it falls more in the mid range tones, bass is present and you can feel it but again don't expect to compare it to a Taylor or a Martin. Should you compare it to a Fender/Epiphone/Dean the like this one has them beat by miles. Extremely happy I took a chance buying this guitar. Highly recommend it for the value.
