Exceptional bargain entry level,
At a buck under $200, this is a great bargain and a quality entry-level acoustic guitar. The finish is of very high quality and the sound is quite nice. The action is also better than one could hope for in a $199 guitar and the tuning pegs are excellent. It holds its tune very well, even with brand new strings (according to the Korg GA electronic tuner that I bought at the same time). An added bonus is the well made fake leather hard case that is also a bargain at the price. I’m sure more experienced guitarists could find fault and I’m sure a $1000-plus guitar would be better made/sound better, but this is a great place to start. The sunburst finish is very nice. Amazon handled the transaction flawlessly also.

|well worth the price.,
The description I read did not state that a Fender hard case comes with it! The guitar is gorgeous. The Quality check tag dates the guitar to ’03. The finish was a little dusty, but perfect. I paid a buck fifty with free shipping. Even two hundred would be worth it.

|Great deal for the price,
Overall I’ve got to say this is a pretty good deal for under $200. If you are looking for a quality beater or a first guitar then this would fit the bill perfectly. I got it as a time killer since i’m overseas for a few months and was amazed to have it show up a week early, in perfect condition. The case was much better than expected and was packed in a big cardboard box so no worries about travel there.
Overall: Paint is good with no chips or cracks. A nice sunburst and well finished binding and absolutely no traces of glue or damage. The neck is set well and the frets are in good shape with none hanging over the edge of the neck. Inlays are good to go too. The tuning pegs are better than some expensive guitars I own and I amazed at how well this cheap guitar stays in tune. I would replace the stock strings as soon as possible and work to adjust the neck once new ones are on.
Included was a spare bridge, bridge peg and a truss rod allen key. They also threw in a simple guide to adjusting the neck which makes setting up the guitar a bit easier if you are new to playing. The neck came with a healthy bow and a sight adjustment had it almost perfect with new Elixer strings.
The tone is a bit bright for me but then I remember I paid 200 for the guitar and it suddenly sounds better. With different strings I think I could get it right where I want it eventually. It also has wide almost d shaped neck which I prefer since I have big hands but may be hard for smaller ones.
I’d say its a steal of a guitar and will add it to my collection when I get home without worrying it will get neglected like the stupid Ovation I own that slides off my lap every 2 seconds. Its probably not going to get blasted with a shotgun like my $600 yamaha classical that needed the bridge glued every year around the time my truck would start to die and I’d be getting sick.
All in all its the best guitar i’ve played in the price range and would recommend it to anyone interested.
