Looks--A flawless wooden finish and a lustrous binding and rosette make it feel like a truly premium instrument costing a not-so-premium price. I really wanted the black tuning keys as illustrated but now I'm accustomed to the silver tuners it sports.Sound--The sound seemed to resonate and wasn't half-confined inside the guitar. Its light bronze strings sounded warm and well rounded, although bending notes was difficult.Unplugged, the guitar sounds impeccable, balanced and not at all raucous.Being plugged in, the notes sound clear, but a bit 'bland' and subdued without any EQ when it came to the highs.Build quality--Compared to a Taylor I tried a few days ago, it seemed to have almost the same sound and craftsmanship despite being one-tenth the price. Splendid fret work and neck!Freebies included--A keyring pick holder with 6 Vault picks, a microfiber cloth, an extra bridge pin and a saddle, an allen key, a 2m cable and a nice foam-padded gig bag.
