Unique warm tone that sounds great plugged in as well as acoustic.

First time I saw this guitar from a distance, I noticed that it had an acoustic body but the head of the guitar looked like one from a classical guitar. I decided to try it and I was impressed with the sound. Best part about it, after a year using it, it started to sound much better. Perhaps it is because the solid wooden body is starting to loosen up and resonates better. The body is grand auditorium, so it produces this loud wholesome sound but I must say you lose some style points because this thing looks huge. I'm a fan of cutaways because it's easy to reach the higher frets. This guitar does not only come with a volume knob, it has a treble and bass knob as well for quick live adjustments. If you get feedback, there's a switch inside that can quickly do the trick. I recommend changing the batteries before a big show because it sounds terribly distorted when the battery runs out. Overall, it sounds amazing and if you're looking for a different sounding acoustic guitar, this might be the one for you.
