It has a very "polite" tone, it's the only way I can really describe it. Thing to note is that mine came with one of the tuning pegs being slightly twisted, which made it rattle whenever I'd play anything without an amp. Quality in general is rather solid but there's a few little machining errors here and there, but it's not too noticeable. Unsure if this is common or not but I'm just putting this up for a little buyer beware.
