Very nice guitar overall, but has a few small problems. A few tips for beginners, this will sound terrible directly out of the box, but as with any new guitar, you should change the strings, that will remedy the sound problems. The action is very high as well, so a professional tune/set up would be a good idea as well. The mids are still clear, the highs are clear and bright, but not brassy or ringy, and the bass is big. This guitar was worth its money plus some, and I would recommend this to anyone looking for a guitar at and affordable price. There are some features missing, but that is to be expected in a guitar ion this price range. There are no active electronics, preamp, equalizer, controls, tuner, bone saddle/nut, decent tuners. Now, what is there can be kinda surprising. Solid spruce top, laminated mahogany back and sides, solid mahogany neck, half-decent finish, great neck, etc. All-in-all, very well fitted for a guitar in this price range. Have had to replace one thing, and that's the tuners, which I expected. I've had this guitar for about year now, and am still happy with it. Body and neck are super solid, and the finish is alright, but chips too easily. Overall, a very nice guitar for the money paid. Would buy another one if something happened to this one, just because funds are tight, and it's the best guitar for a price I might be able to live with.
Really pleased with this guitar, it sounds great and has a beautiful ebony finish. Was going to buy secondhand but at this price I went for a new one.
Delivery was prompt with regular emails on delivery status. All in all an excellent service, would highly recommend.
