can't ask for more for the price
This guitar, though not exactly 'cheap', does stand out both visually and sonically. So far I've been using it for about 18 months, restrung several times and really can't find anything wrong with it.
The pros that I see:
- PRS neck, for those who love it
- looks stunning and improves the room
- sounds great both unplugged and plugged (playing through Yamaha THR)
- build quality is 9/10 (there're some parts that could've been done better inside the guitar but I am nitpicking)
- comes with a quality case
Overall I am very satisfied with the purchase

Beautiful sound and look
Overall I can really recommend this guitar.
Tone: nice balanced tone. has a definitive bass to it as well but not a boomy as a Martin (I don't really like the sound of the Martins)
Playability: it has the PRS neck, which is a very comfortable neck profile
Electronics: it has a fishman pickup, which sound pretty good. If you need to use it in a live situation with a band, it can sound really good. It is nice that the volume and tone control is on the inside so doesn't ruin the look
Build quality: didn't find any issues with it, the fret ends needed a little filing to make it perfect but out of the box it was 8/10. And also I think except for custom shop guitars you will never get perfect fret ends. The tuning machines are really really good. Perfect tension, doesn't stuck, best tuning machines I tried.
Look: well it is gourgeous. The ziricote is really astounishingly beautiful. My Sitka spruce top has its little bearclaws. Some people dom't like it, I actually like that it is not plain, it gives characteristic to the guitar. Maple bindings perfect, ebony fretboard amazing.
Plus you get a nice hard case, that fits the guitar.
Overall I am really satisfied with it and brings joy every time I play on it. Really inspiring, and looks nice in the room.

Love the sound and feel
Absolutely love the sound and feel of this guitar. It's stunning, with a crisp bright sound.Comes nicely set up by the European technicians, who does the final setup and quality control ( according to a note inside). Comes with a nice generic case. Have not fully tested the electronics, but since I'm basically using at as a home guitar i really like that the controls are hidden inside the sound hole, while the battery it by the jack input. Doesn't mess up the looks:)

Gorgeous!
This PRS acoustic came in a well fitted case and played great right out the box. The Ziricote wood on the sides and back is absolutely gorgeous. Matches great with the Sitka Spruce top. And the abalone inlays looks stunning. The sound is well balanced with a powerfull low end and singing highs. The notes make a satisfying "ping" off the fretboard as they're played and it sounds incredible.
If it didn't say so on the back of the headstock I would never have believed this was made in China. Quality none the less.
I use this mostly at home but also in small venues such as churches, parties and such and it fills up the room quite nicely. It produces a lot of sound in a well balanced manner.
If you're considering getting this PRS acoustic I would absolutely recommend it.

Worst PRS I have ever bought.
It's a beautiful gutar.
Setup is really good. Intonation is excellent.Sounds fantastic (sometimes). Just about everything is pretty darn damn good. But... It's useless.
Well the one I got. Something (electronics metal shielding is my guess) resonates depending on temperature of the day and it sounds horrible.(Think cricket slightly out of tune when you pick a string.).
I own a couple of PRS SE guitars (including a A40E acoustic) and i love them. But this one is crap.
Got it two days ago, Will be returning it.
Sorry Thomann, you asked for my opinion and you got it.

Alot of guitar for your money
First, I just want to say, what a great service from the Thomann Music store. Great costumer service (easy access to the service desk, through chat, mail, and phone), fast shipping, good and secure packaging.
I use the guitar for private use in my home mostly.
What a great sounding guitar, very loud, and ritch tone.
Great build quality, after deep inspection, no flause nor errors could be found on the product.
Looks as stunning as in the photos. The sitka spruce top was more ?yellow? than I expected, a great warm tone to it. Very pleased with that. The ziricote, looks amazing, and makes the guitar really stand out. The curly maple binding looks great as well, a lot of detail has been put in to work with the binding and the abalone shell décor.
A product that lives up to all the expectations.

An amazing guitar for the price
Both the look of the guitar and its sound left me astonished.
Right out of the box it sounded incredible, both plugged or unplugged.
