I've owned a few guitars and have jammed on a lot of expensive guitars, and this one is right up there on the top of the list. Especially for the value! Under $300 is a STEAL. Plus a hard case... you can't beat that. I bought this guitar a week ago, and didn't want to do my review right away (give me time to work it in a little) to have a more honest review. The guitar sounds great. Acoustically, it has a very crisp sound and plugged in, the Fishman preamp is very responsive. The highs are mellow and the lows are tight. A couple things: 1) I had L&M set up the action while I was at the store (the luthier was just about to leave for the day and I cought him just in time). I found the factory action was too high: 2.0mm height on the 1st string at 14th fret and 2.5mm on the 6th string at the 14th fret. I had them lower it to about 1mm @ 1st string and 1.5mm @ 6th string. 2) I found the glue smell was rather pungent in the case, so I've bee airing it out in the garage for the past few days. 3) My thumb would not slide along the neck too well, and the fretboard had a little friction, but that goes away once you work your personal funk into the instrument. 4) Get new strings!! The guitar is great but the factory strings SUCK. Slap on some D'Addario EXP 16s or Elixr Nanowebs and your golden! All in all 6 out of 5 for the price point. Just get your action set up by your local luthier. The guys at my local L&M set it up for free, but I did my own string change... Not sure they would charge for that. Probably (they are a business by the way). If anything happened to this one,I would buy a second in a heartbeat! Hope this review elps. Posted by Andrew on Jul 22, 2012

I bought one about 2 years ago and it is still fantastic! I bought the black one, and at the time it came with a free hard case. Recently I found out it's actually worth over $400 so its a great buy! I play weekly at church, in my band 2-3 times a month, and daily during the week. It sounds great un-plugged and plugged. Very clear, bright sound, and is energy efficient as long as you use a decent battery (I use Duracell Procell. I haven't changed it in over a year and I used it plugged very often as written previously). I love it and highly recommend it for guitarists who are on a budget, but want a great quality guitar. The tuner and other controls are good. The tuning knobs are good too. It's also easy play because it's low-action. Enjoy! Posted by anonymous on Jun 18, 2012
