The cutaway model has a crispy tone to it, a bit less bass and low mid but nothing that I'm not cutting down a bit with the EQ anyway on a full body version. And the cutaway is giving a perfect balance not letting the notes drown in mud.
The microphone system is perfect finally a built in mic system that sounds clear and the finish is beautiful. I just sat down looking closely on the guitar and noticed how perfect it was, not a single mistake on the guitar.
I barely have to touch the strings to make a clear long sustaining sound, the action on the strings is just right for me.
