I play classical and jazz on it with the band. At first I was worried that the fingerboard is a little narrower than on a classical guitar. Despite that, I don't play classical better on it, I would even say that I can hold many things more comfortably than on a classical keyboard (tested on BWV 997) and thanks to the cut I can play better even beyond the octave. The sound is dry despite the cutout and more subtle body, excellently full of warm colors and acoustically balanced. The recordings are also good...
