It's not mine just yet for a couple of reasons, so can't report a NGD.
Encouraging, or what!!
did it have an oiled finish?
Hopefully they can ramp up production and get the distribution wider than their more expensive stuff.
Strange thing was that the DPD driver asked me if it was a guitar - and said that on an earlier delivery of another guitar to a neighbouring village he was asked if he also had a guitar for me (referring to me and my village by name). Weird!

tbh I'm not impressed, they all sounded very boxy. OOTB setup was pretty awful, but that's just playability issue that can be resolved, although they had a very high action even for new guitars.
I compared with some Lowden S models in the shop, which were light years away in tone. My Avalon S size at home is up another level from the Lowdens
I'd say the blueridge acoustics I've played sounded better than the Sheerans
I was hoping/expecting that the (albeit CNC-based) production lines being in the UK would be producing guitars closer to the Lowden/Avalon benchmark, with the shortcuts being cosmetic. i.e. real competition for Korea, Indonesia
I had thought that the lack of (human time consuming) adaptation to the individual pieces of wood in each guitar might be a tough obstacle, but assumed that Lowden had found a way to mitigate this.
I wouldn't want to be playing one of these unplugged, I guess it would be OK on stage.
Is the name on the headstock going to help or hinder sales? I usually avoid signature models, am I alone in that?
