Love it. Sounds a bit louder/brighter than the MD304, so would probably "cut through" better in a band or performance setting. The action & set-up are also great, making it comfortable and fast/fluid to play. The instrument also looks good and is well finished. The tuning pegs are OK and adequate for the job. Overall, a very nice instrument for the price.

I bought this to upgrade from a cheap laminated wood Godman so it is obviously a much nicer instrument. I love the matt look to the body, gives it an aged feel. Plays and sounds lovely, very little pressure needed to get a clean sound from the strings.
