It's easy to play, it's a very beautiful guitar, since the fretboard is a little bit smaller than most guitars it's more suitable for my small fingers. Since I got clynodactly in my pinkies. My pinky fits better on the fretboard then it does on any other guitar. I reccomend this guitar for people that has small fingers. I been playing guitar for 10 years and this guitar is better than all my other ones.
Everything is great except for two things: First, the tuners need to be upgraded. It isn't terrible, but I'm finding I'm tuning it way too often. I can feel the tuners give a little when tuning. They simply aren't as solid as more premium tuners. Secondly, if you are an adult, the upper 4 frets are extremely difficult to play quickly. Everything else is buttery smooth, but the upper 4 frets, while playable, are extremely hard to play fast on. I play mandolin too, so I didn't think it would be a problem, but it's enough of an issue that I'm considering upgrading to the JS32 Rhoads over this.
