It exists to fill a pricing void. It's for people wanting a brighter guitar. Its aesthetics are pretty perfect. I would never think that wood binding would make such a difference, buy my D 35 Custom was ordered with it and it rocks. Not a plastic part on the guitar. I know I'd like the pearl logo too. A lot to like for those who want a more premium guitar but don't want an authentic.
