I used to own the D-Jr all sapele. If you want to get the most out of this instrument, I highly recommend a set of DR sunbeams. The Retros these ship with are almost too mellow. These are great guitars.❤
I recently bought this guitar and agree with everything said in your review. I am using as travel guitar and it does fit in most overheads on plane. I have not been asked to check it on smaller regional planes up to this point. Very sturdy. I used to travel with a smaller carbon fiber guitar but could never get used to sound or fact nut and string spacing narrower vs. what I usually play - Martin, Taylor, Maton. This is perfect and I also find it to be good couch guitar. I do have retro stings on it now but plan to experiment with PBs to see difference.
