I've owned an Ayers D-08 for several months now, and I'm quite pleased in every way. My intention was simply to test-drive on their "free 21 day test drive" deal, but it was so much bang for the buck that I bought it. It's a ton of guitar for the money. Craftsmanship is equal to US factory guitars I own or have owned. As point of reference, please know I've owned or own Goodall, McIlroy, Thompson, Froggy Bottom, Fox, SCGC, Kronbauer, ... several others. I'm enjoying this guitar as much as any of the others I've owned.
