Great sound in a smaller body guitar. Much more "sustain" on the notes than most acoustic type guitars. Very light and easy to play. If you are wanting something different than your normal classical of if you are wanting to branch out into classical style playing, this is perfect. Totally happy with this guitar.
I don't really have a downside. It came with a very nice gigbag, and I also bought a Furch guitar case for future needs if necessary. Just a great and easy guitar to enjoy and play for hours.
