Comparing it to my other guitars (most of them are mahogany and sorta mahogany), I was surprised. The sound is completely different. Rich and woody too, but another way. I can't explain it. But I love the sound. I'm talking about the acoustic sound, not pickup. I didn't like it. I didn't like the pickup sound on my gs mini-e, and I don't like it on this guitar too. But anyway this is a great instrument, very comfortable and easy to play. Thanks for Thomann!)
