I love that it comes with a strap and case. I love that it is steel string. It is super light ( literally like 2 pounds ) and very convenient. I use it for when I need to watch my daughter at the park, or for lunch break at work, also when I travel to keep my big guitar safe, and when I just need to hash out a few notes for transposing.It is soft compared to a full sized guitar but it is 100% perfect for what it's intended. And to be honest, the fretboard and sound now makes me want to get a full sized Martin. I have now become a Martin loyalist.To be honest, I'd even suggest it to someone who wanted to learn guitar on something affordable as they save up for a custom big guy.No matter what you use it for. It's awesome.
