Bought in 2010 (Seldom use since 3 years ago, selling to make space in my house.)
There are some stretches at the back of the guitar but it did not affect the sound. Otherwise, awesome guitar and sound especially playing fingerstyle.
To hear the sounds, watch video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhXg2ge9TXg
The performer series have inherited the original 808 shape with a slightly thinner body and soft cutaway. Its full solid Bunya soundboard provides the volume and punch to more than compensate for a smaller body. Comfort and playability are the keys to this purpose built series.
