Feature:
Nice, versatile electronics. Beautiful finish, tastefully done.
Quality:
Excellent construction. The tuners are still a little tight but perhaps they will loosen up with time. I have been playing for over 40 years but this is the first new guitar I have ever bought so I will wait and see about the tuners.
Value:
I did a lot of shopping in music stores and online before I bought this axe and you can't beat it, especially if you get one that is blemished for $160 discount.
Desirability:
I like simple, elegant design. This guitar fits the bill for me. If you prefer ornate or gaudy instruments, try something else.
Sound:
Absolutely the best sounding 12-string in this price range that I have played. Sounds better than some of the more expensive ones as well. I like the additional volume you get from a solid top and Jumbo size, too.
Ease of Use:
Great action, easy to play.
Overall:
This one is a keeper. Unless I win the Powerball and can afford a Guild, I will have this guitar for a long, long time.
