Absolutely amazing. By itself, the sound is a little thin because the body is so thin. Drew even mentioned when I first picked it up that it sounds better standing in front of it than when playing it, which is the case I suppose with all acoustics.
But through the pickup into my amp, it's abso-fucking-lutely GORGEOUS sounding. I know that the best way to record acoustics is to mic the soundhole, but sometimes you just want to plug the sucker in and do some jamming. I always hated how the wound strings on regular acoustics sounded great, but the unwound B/E strings sounded way too "round" and out of place through the magnetic pickup. This guy sounds completely uniform all the way up the neck, very warm and not too bright.
I love it. I'd been jonesing for a nylon for ages but never found a decent one with a cutaway and onboard pickup for less than $700-800. I can't believe this is a $300 guitar.
