had been looking for an upgrade to my cheap as chips roundback acoustic, i'd had for years, and originally bought a different guitar, that was sent back and in the end I chose this model, as the deal with a hardcase swung it in its favour, but so pleasantly surprised at just how nice the guitar is now?
when it first came out the case, it sounded out slightly?!? intonation not quite right?! but a new set of strings, and a quick fret polish later, and its lovely and is bedding in really nice as time passes too, which is always a plus, so if you're looking around this price point, don't think too hard, and get this instrument, you'll be happy you did, if upgrading like i did?
my roundback sounds like a plastic toy now, after playing the Fender?
OH YEAH!!! the smell, every time i open the case, and pick it out, and put it on my knee, the beautiful aroma comes from the sound hole? OMG it's intoxicating? Also have recently swapped out the tiny plastic 3mm Slotted, bridge pins, for a Un slotted, bone 5mm set, and cut the string slots, into the Bridge-block. what a change??? 100% of the string energy now goes into the bridge, and not the pins
