It is a comfortable guitar to play and my 16 year old prefers it to his 500 dollar solid top. It does resonate well. The work was worth it, The original finish was the worst. The action is very comfortable. No fret buzz.
Construction seems sound.
I play only as a hobby and cannot comment about it as a working guitar. Never needed it. Bought it about 15 months ago. I actually like this guitar. If not it would be gone.
