I've been playing guitar since almost 2 years now and I've been particularly okaying percussive fingerstyle (Alexandr Misko and Mike Dawes style), and I was pretty skeptic on what guitar to buy in a budget of around 12-13k. I tried many guitars in 3-4 offline shops including Fender, Fender Squier, Kadence, and even some high priced guitars (upto 25k) weren't nearly as satisfactory. Kadence is a complete bluffer. (Speaking this from one month of everyday trouble with their employees, ending up in vain with just a huge loss of time). So before saying anything about this guitar, i'd like to give you some crucial tips on buying your guitar: 1. GO TRY GUITARS IN AN OFFLINE STORE Doesn't matter if they're overpriced/underpriced, just go explore, even if you're buying online, go try offline first. 2. KNOW WHAT YOURE DOING Don't just straight up buy anything just because of some suggestions, be informative and try for yourself. 3. For anyone playing percussive fingerstyle: Know that these are opening guitars and you can't expect them to sound like a baton rouge or a Greenfield. Finally, I would like to give my reviews on this guitar. It's AWESOME. Spruce is the best for percussion, the pure acoustic sound is amazing, bright and sharp, the harmonics are detailed and the bracings make the sound resonate even better! The delivery was on perfect time and in perfect condition! Totally loved it
