I must say that the quality control on this one wasn't the best. There are blemishes on the neck finish (small bubbles that you can feel with your hand). Also, the fretwork is really bad. Nothing that can't be fixed, but with 13 gauge striings and relatively high action, playing up the necks sounds like a sitar. Now I have to pay extra to have this done. This should not be happening. The guitar is not exactly loud, despite the dreadnought body. Swiching to bone pins, and a tusq saddle helped. I rate it 4/5, because it is what it is... I'm still happy with the purchase. Sounds like a rosewood Hummingbird with a little more sustain and overtones, especially with this new saddle. P. S. The guitar weights around 3kg. The heftiest I own.
