Sound

Loud and bright. Certainly not as rich and mellow as my '99 D-28, but that's apples and oranges. A very durable, attractive, playable guitar for the money. |

Setup
|
Set up was fine. It was a gift from a friend in 2005. I had loaned him the $175 to buy it new in 1972 and was with him when he bought it. It sat in his closet for years, and was seldom played. |

Appearance
|
Back and sides appear to be rosewood...I could be wrong. Excellent shape for a 36 year-old that spent much of its life in Colorado with no measures taken to keep it humidified. |

I don't play it much, but it has alot of sentimental value. A great guitar for traveling. One that I would let my kids take to a party. (well...maybe not) |
