Once it's unfolded and screwed in place (takes less than 30 seconds), you would not know it from a standard Mini-Dread, the hairline crack in the fingerboard being almost invisible. It will blow away your guitar buds. The hinge feels quite sturdy, actually 2 hinges plus an anchor pin and a thumbscrew that doubles as, and appears to be, a strap button. After folding it away, and unfolding it again, it DOES need retuning, but the tuners manage to hold a tune pretty close. I notice the tuners require about twice as much twisting compared to my other guitars, so they may be special in that regard.
Overall tone is beautiful, on a par with many $1000 guitars. String action surprisingly low, just like a "real" guitar, and no fret buzzing. In fact, it plays and sounds exactly like a sub-$1000 guitar of comparable type.
