Superb

Rich harmonic open sound which is balanced and projects beautifully. Once I’d lowered the nut and treated the fingerboard the guitar plays like butter. Fit and finish is flawless. This isn’t just a great acoustic for the money it’s a great guitar in its own right and would be my first choice against anything up to 3 times its worth. It looks stunning too

Ok but not great.

The only thing is that frets are not even. There is a lot of buzzing going on when pressing. I checked neck relief and string action at 12th fret. Neck relief on 7th fret is .014 (which is ok) and string action on bass side is 2.1mm on treble 1.3mm (which is ok also). Guitar sounds fabulous! Will do some fretwork and it will be an excelent guitar!

A very unique and sturdy guitar

I’ve been playing it for 4+ years and it holds up nicely, better than I expected. The sound is very good, I haven’t even changed the stock strings that it came with yet. I rarely need to tune it. Although I had some issues with the action of the strings, it could have been fixed by me very easily if I had the knowledge on how to do it back then. The features for me are irrelevant, I don’t plug this guitar into amps. The quality is amazing overall, but it is a pricy guitar I would say. I am not very sure that it is worth it solely based on the practical side, but it is a very pretty and unique guitar. I actually bought it only for the fretboard look with this shiny crystal-like features.

Incredible for the price

I've owned $3000.00 acoustics and this sounds and plays every bit as good. I was sold from the various reviews and research but it's always a gamble until you actually get the product and test it for yourself. Not only was I not disappointed...I was elated. I replaced the stock str5ings with Elixir Nanoweb 12s and the tone is warm, full, and vibrant. The sustain is sublime and the tuning pegs are first rate. I haven't touched them after several weeks of daily playing and the tuning is still spot on. I did some minor customization to the saddle and nut to suit my taste and replaced the bridge pins with bone from John Pearse. It's mind-blowing how a $300.00 guitar can be this good. If you're considering a dreadnought acoustic...just buy this one without a second thought and treat yourself to some other goodies with the money you'll save. Absolutely incredible instrument on it's own but for the money, it's in the superhero realm.

Fantastic Guitar & a Remarkable Price

Beautiful dreadnaught guitar with solid spruce top & Fishman electronics, how do they do it for this price? The saddle needed to be lowered & then it was ready to go. Nice crisp sound, excellent fretwork, gorgeous look, comfortable neck.

fantastic value for the money

I've always wanted a dreadnaught and I've always wanted a Martin. This isn't a Martin but what a lovely guitar. It sounds fantastic!

Awful Quality Inspection

Everything was fine until I unboxed it and started seeing one defect after another (small dents, weird black dust on the frets?, just bad binding altogether and gaps when mounting everywhere. Returned the product, 3 weeks in, and even after contacting them, and I'm still to receive the money back to purchase another one.

I'm very disappointed to say the least
