Features: 10

Specs:

- Pearl Dot Inlay- Beautiful Resonant Dark Violin Finish- Solid Engelmann Spuce Top- Mahogany Back/Sides- Grover Tuners

This is one good looking guitar that's sports some very impressive features for a sub $400 guitar. The mahogany sides and back provide rich warm lows and sweet sustain. While the Solid Engelmann Spuce Top resonate more freely than laminated tops. The Gorver tuners are also a great addition.

Sound: 9

The sound is very impressive. Sure it doesn't sound as nice as a Martin, but for the price it sure sound great!

When you play this guitar people will swear that your playing a $1000 guitar. I know, because I've seen people's jaws drop when I tell them I bought this guitar for only $350.

Action, Fit, & Finish: 10

This is one of my favorite category of this guitar. It's just a amazing looking guitar. The Dark Violin Finish is simply beautiful and gives the guitar a very classy look. The wood itself is also very nice and solid.

Impressive!

Reliability/Durability: 10

With grover tuners you know those will last forever. And with the solid Engelmann spuce top, the guitar will continue to grow richer in sound with age. It's a very durable guitar from what I can tell. I've bumped it numerous times, and it still looks brand new.

Customer Support: N/A

Well since I haven't had any problems yet, I haven't had the opportunity to check it out.

Rating (On a Scale of 1-10): 10
