An old friend
I've had my Fiesta Red P.EXL1for two weeks now, so here are my thoughts. A beautiful guitar! Not overladen with binding or bling, but stunning simplicity. If they cheaped out on anything it's the truss rod cover (big deal) and the tailpiece, but absolutely useable. It stays in tune as much as any of my guitars do in an old drafty house. It has a good and surprisingly loud acoustic… read more sound. Plugged into a 1991 Gibson version of a Roland JC amp it's clear and clean until you totally max out the tone knob to the "dark" side. Excellent clear bass response, I mean EXCELLENT, It slipped right into my hands with no feeling of strangeness, like I'd been playing it a long time. One minus to Sweetwater. Although I bought a demo (saved a ton) the guitars are supposed to be intonated before shipping.I don't see how it's possible to intonate an archtop and then put the foam back underneath the bridge without undoing it, or expect the consumer to remove it and keep the intonation.
