Good choice
Sound not as punching and penetrative as I'd expect it to be. But overall is playable and user friendly.

Very nice instrument
Great sounding instrument. Stays in tune also when moving from warmer to colder and vice versa. Tried Gretsch and Recording King and both had issues either with staying in tune and/or with playability. This Gold Tone is a step up.
Perhaps they should fine tune the action etc, but that is also a matter of taste, what tuning you play, etc. If I compare it with my other (hand made) acoustic, well that's not a match. The fretting of that one is perfect and really delicate. But hey that's also a different league. Overall a great instrument for a decent price!
