I snagged a new one when I knew that RUSH would be no more. My instincts told me it would be dropped quickly, which it was. I've never actually gigged it, but have played it here in the house. As stated it's a bit smaller than normal sized acoustics, and doesn't have a loud, booming tone. The body wood is Dau, and I think the top is spruce (have to check to be sure). It's a cool guitar, and for the price I got it, it was a no-brainer!
