Subject:Great Beginner and Travel Guitar!
Quality: This guitar is a lasting guitar. The spruce top is very durable and the sides and back(I think it may be spruce too) are very durable also. The only problem is that the wood was very dull when I bought it. All I needed was a little Pledge and that brightened things up. The neck is very glossy. And the fretboard doesn't collect grease the way other guitars do.
Reliability: This guitar is still playing great after three years of owning it(almost four actually) and putting maybe only 16 dollars into it's maintenence(excluding new strings). and it was my own fault having to put the extra money into it because I screwed around with the Tuning Heads.
Overall: I love it! The neck does need adjusting right now but I have had it for almost four years and have played hard so it only needs slight adjusting. The only complaint is that it came with heavy steel strings. Such a small guitar really needs a light gauge string to sound as good as a standard size.
Playability and Feel: This guitar is just right for me. I have grown out of it but still enjoy playing it because it is easy to handle and even though there is no cutaway the lower frets are fairly easy to access
Tone: With a .50MM pick this guitar sounds bright and beautiful with a .60MM it sounds almost as well. I do prefer a lighter pick anyway because I like to strum hard. but the heavier .70MM is too heavy for me to use on such a small guitar.
Finish: The top of the guitar is and was beautiful. I recomend spending a little money on a bottle of Pledge for the back, sides and neck, you can also use that on the top you just need to be careful not to get it on the fretbord or strings, that will probably grease them up and dull the sound and playability.
Action: I was very inexperienced when I bought this guitar(my first guitar!) but as a beginner I think it sounded alright and of course as I said before, it should have come with a light gauge string, even strings from wal-mart suck as GHS Jammers Light or First Act Creamies; they are fine I have a set of first act creamies on mine right now and it has never sounded better!
Skill Level: Intermediate
Do you own this product?: Yes, I own this beautiful guitar.
