It’s an interesting guitar, the built in electronics give it depth. Fit and finish are very good, she’s nice looking. The case is very nice and comes with shoulder straps for travel. Personally I think it’s overkill and a gig bag would have been adequate. I think the on board tuner is worthless and quickly went to a clip on.
I find the guitar very easy to play. Being a 3/4, it’s a little smaller and fits like a glove. I like the narrower nut width, similar to my X10 and Adamas.
Out of the box the action is very low. The D can buzz a little open if I pick it medium to hard; I have not tried to adjust it yet.
I find myself picking it up and playing it because of the built in amp. It has a plugged in sound without an external amplifier. That brings a smile to my face while playing. Others have commented on the nice sound it produces.
I thought it said it came with Elixir strings, but I’m not so sure. It also came with a decent leather strap and some picks, not that I use them. For me, the built in amp is the highlight and produces a full, intriguing sound.
I paid 408 + tax and find a lot of value at that price. I’ll probably keep it.
