Overall Assessment: This guitar has a very balanced sound good for all types of playing....I often use alternate tunings and it holds up to the test.
I had my luthier set it up for me and other than shaving the saddle for action and adjusting the nut, I'm very happy with it...he did say the saddle needed to be re-adjusted on the bridge for perfect intonation, but thought the factory set up was good. He offered to buy it from me. (He's a local musician in Tampa as well).
I get nothing but "wowed" responses from other musicians that I've let play it at open mic...which tells me more about the guitar than just listening to it myself.
I'm very happy with it, and I've gone back and forth with Elixirs and D'Addarios...hard to pick one I prefer.
Did I mention the guitar looks great too?....its definitely opening up more and more...it only gets better sounding with age.
