not a n00b anymore
Update.... Update.... Update. OMG. Okay, I hate most guitars I buy, no, not really, but it has to offer a lot. THIS offers sooooo much. Out of the box and case, it is gorgeous. The photos don't do it justice. The finish glows like a deep blue ocean with a darker shade outside. Killer. Sides and back flame, killer. Okay, one of the coolest things about this guitar is how it sounds unplugged. It's a friggin acoustic guitar!!! It rings. On the higher registers it sounds like it has reverb on it. Unreal. I couldn't stop playing acoustic stuff. (After I lowered the bridge almost all the way).Then I plugged it in. Just a natural wonderful sound and on a med volume you get the acoustic sound as well. Killer once again.
Let's talk about it's big fat neck.
So, I usually don't like a neck this large or wide at the nut and with the string width. I like a Fender 7 spread and even a 6.75 that I had cut for my 52 as the high E kept going off the fret board when I was cracking the blues up there.
This is so comfy. Not kidding. Don't mind the neck in fact very easy to play.
So all in all, I give this guitar an A+ for sound and construction including pickup.
And an A+ for the quality of the finish
A B+ cause it's not throw-up blue. Ha!
An A+ for play-ability.
And a def A+++++++++++++++ for the incredible, friggin, awesome, outrageous deal I got.. hehe
Will try to get some sound clips up. But if you can get one of these and you want a great sounding and playing acoustic tangled up with a fine playing jazz guitar, go for it.
P.S. it has reg strings not flat wound. Not sure how I will handle this cause it's so fine with these.

I have one in sunburst and I couldn't agree more with your review. You did forget to mention the most beautiful headstock ever put on a guitar.

I'm not surprised you're enjoying it. My new Guild Starfire IV never ceases to amaze me. Those SPG guys (the factory was purchased by workers from Samick when the jobs were shipped to Indonesia -- sort of reminiscent of the Gibson/Heritage story) do a heck of a job!

Yes, that too!! I can't stop playing it. It makes me do so many different things.. just a joy to play acoustically..

Awesome (and weirdly -- the exact same price I paid for my Guild, although since street price on that is normally $1099 I must defer to you as el jefe of deal-getters!)
