    I love the guitar the design of it is unbelievable,the sound it makes plugged or not plugged is so rich. The built in tuner and AMP settings are easy to use. Its stays in tune forever, theres just one thing it needs a cup holder for cold beverages.

    This guitar met all my needs: electronics and cutaway for onstage use as well as a smaller body shape. Good sound with or without amplification. Though the frets were sharp when delivered, the tech at the store dressed the frets perfectly and made a slight adjustment on the neck relief. The guitar left the store in perfect playing condition. I love the look of the guitar. The natural wood binding is a beautiful appointment on this guitar.

    Unfortunately, we have no way of knowing what the blemish is. However, it would only be a minor cosmetic flaw and would not effect the guitars play ability.
