The guitar is a total class act.... Necks very well rounded and has a delicate feel to it. Tone is awesome- it is the perfect compliment to my taylors brightness i was looking for. The rosewood sides are a real treat! Aesthetically it looked too dark on web- live? It was worth a "holy s',&$" as it came out case. The piezo and electronics(in my opinion) sounded slightly better than my taylors, as the controls grant u more precision. You can mod lot more than bass and treble! Oh, and just to display its smug dominance, it has a built in tuner haha..
I also played angelus standard... It was a tight instrument for sure, but lacked the gasp factor that i got with the custom angelus. Then again tone is rather subjective, so to each his own.. But if you want a rich, loud, good sustain acoustic, i more often fail to see what the higher ends have over chosen guitars like this one( minus the made in usa). These guitars go through PRS amazing quality control after all, and from someone who is the poster child for taylor and prs, i think it can go punch for punch with a lot of comparable taylors. Honestly i liked it more than the 300/800 series cutaways, it only bows to the 414ce.
Ok thats the end of my "i really want to critique the guitar but not as much as i want to put down this ipad and go play it" tirade, go buy one and thank me later!!!
