Quality: It is obvious that someone took a lot of pride in building this guitar.
Reliability: Well, it's been fine for the month that I've owned it.
Overall: All three of my Silvertones have a happy vibe to them. It's like whoever made them really enjoyed building them. Hopefully Samick treats their workers well, I imagine that building guitars is probably a pretty good job in Indonesia. I imagine that it's a pretty satisfying job most anywheres.
Playability and Feel: The early Asian guitars always felt dead to me. Even though exact copies of their American counterparts they seemed to be missing something essential. These Silvertones come alive in my hands. Plus they've got really fast necks, so straight that I had to loosen the truss rod to get some relief.
Tone: I was disappointed at first, but with a new set of strings the sound really blossomed. Not quite as good as my custom shop Gibson acoustic but much handier. The Gibsons gotta live in its case, for $160 this guitar hangs on the wall and gets played a lot more.
Finish: It's actually pretty nice for a plastic finish. You can't use the guitar for a shaving mirror like I can with my Gibson, but you could at least use it to comb your hair.
Action: The neck needed some relief in it, I like to loosen the truss rod and then, after the strings have pulled the neck into shape I tighten it back up a little. I don"t like a whole lot of relief, but you gotta have some.
Skill Level: Semi-Pro

QUALITY:
This is a beautiful guitar! The finish is great and I love the gold Grover tuners.

FEATURES:
The best features of this guitar are the Grover tuners, the solid spruce top, and the Clearwave pickup system. The built in tuner is very easy to use.

EASE OF USE:
This guitar has fairly low action and is really easy to play.

VALUE:
I was looking for a inexpensive acoustic electric with a solid top. I was leaning toward buying a Washburn or Epiphone when I spotted this guitar listed as a scratch and dent sale item. I wasn't familiar with Silvertone, but looking at the guitar's features and the incredibly low price that was being offered, I took a chance. I'm sure glad I did! It's an excellent value! Even at American Musical's regular price, this is a great buy on a quality guitar.

SOUND:
This guitar sounds great plugged into an amp or unplugged. The grover tuners help create a pitch perfect so
"The best feature of AMS is its ability to offer customers the option of payments. Many of us cannot afford to outlay a chunk of cash for an item. And, AMS provides a payment option unlike a credit card that really is a godsend for musicians who are broke most of the time." Nov '08
