Great full mahogany acoustic, at a cheap price!
I've been using this guitar for many years now, and it's just as good as when I bought it! It was my first acoustic that I bought for myself (I started on my mother's old acoustic, but wanted to get one of my own). The first thing that hit me is the comfort! Having a smaller body than a regular sized dreadnought, it is extremely comfortable to play. The sound is very distinct, thanks to the mahogany body, it has a rather warm and mellow sound. Also it's a real looker, the dark brown mahogany grain with the satin finish looks amazing, and the merbau fretboard has a nice warm colour to it too. It's perfect for both gigs and recording, and I got it at a very cheap price, will likely keep this guitar for life and never replace it as it's the perfect acoustic for me!
Preferred Settings + Usage:
A recommendation: it sounds good whatever strings you use, also the fretboard is made of Merbau which looks amazing (and is said to be better than rosewood). However, the only weakness this guitar has, if anything, is that the fret sounds can be quite loud, which can be a pain when recording. For this reason I recommend using some noise-cancelling strings (the best for this are Elixirs in my opinion, not only are they coated for hum cancelling, but also they keep their tone very well, so you rarely ever need to change them).
