I saw this in my local guitar shop and the looks stopped me in my tracks--and I usually don't value the appearance of a guitar very much. It's all about opinion, but I consider this simple look honest and stunning. I picked it up, and within thirty seconds knew I was leaving the store with it. Seriously.

Warm, woody, rich, and delicate tone. Not like any guitar I've ever played before. Surprising amount of volume can be coaxed out of it, it responds so well to a light touch, then gives you more and more as you demand it. Small, comfortable to hold. I love the v-shaped neck, I adjusted to it immediately.

This guitar just has so much character, both physically and sonically. I personally love the distressed appearance. The vintage-design tuners work fine.

This is my go-to instrument for a lot of fingerstyle, I avoid taking a pick to it.

I will play this thing until I die. It will look particularly good on my when I'm old and crumbly.

I love this guitar. I checked the guitar for fret buzzing. No buzzing at all. That was my first criteria.I then checked the sound. It was pretty good. That was my second criteria. Then I played for a while. I loved it. Things you should know: The neck is V shaped and wider than an Acoustic Guitar but not as wide as a Classic Guitar; G7th performance capo works fine because it has wedges on the curved part; It's very light; looks pretty good; the sound is very good I was actually surprised; it was made in Indonesia. I'm not a technical guy regarding guitars. I just got a very good model. Some guitar's stores have it. If you are too crazy about buying a Guitar online try it at your local store first. I took a chance!

I was very happy with this guitar. Good quality regarding the edge and joining work and I actually like the "vintage" look of the finish. I had been looking for a parlor (under $1000) but was hesitant about buying this online because of the wider V neck. I finally decided to just go for it and am very happy with my decision. It is much easier to find the string for finger picking and chording and while the neck is a little wider across the fretboard, it is also narrower in neck depth. I have slightly smaller (but still manly) hands and have not problem quickly forming bar chords up and down the neck. The action is fairly low and almost reminds me of my electric. As far as sound goes, it is a small guitar and I have light strings on it. Probably wouldn't be the best for putting on a concert but for leaning back and playing on the couch, it is perfect.
