This guitar comes ready for the stage. It's classic dreadnought shape and wonderful satin finish give this guitar a wonderful look.It's tone is fantastic but not your usually dreanought guitar. I would say the midrange is dominent and makes this guitar cut really well. I have the action is set low with medium strings,though you can always have it adjusted to your preference.The top is solid spruce and the back and sides are mahogany.It is in great shape. It has a few small scratches and dings that any twelve year old guitar would have.Nothing major .

The K&K Pure is a wonderful passive(no battery in the guitar) pickup that really sounds true to this instrument.It is my personal favorite. I even put in in my $2000 guitars.

This guitar also has an upgraded bone saddle and includes a case.
