I have a ROS-647 and I take it to music lessons all the time. The sound is very much what you expect from a high quality production and the craftsmanship exceeds most of the Chinese made guitars out there. The nut width is 1 & 13/16 as opposed to 7/8, which I find VERY comfortable. The action on mine was excellent right out of the gate but I do suggest changing the stock strings right away. The neck is a modified V and adds a heft and resonance to the guitar.

It's not a $3000 custom guitar of course, but I found the models I tried more consistent than the Blueridge parlors. I got rid of the blueridge and I'm keeping this one.

One thing to note: this has nitro and it checks very much like the old school guitars did. I'm told that a slightly heavier nitro finish checks a lot. it really doesn't impact the sound and it just adds to the relic look with the toner.

Think about this guitar or the 627. Both are great guitars.
