Product Review
This guitar has the features I needed, including the tapered neck, nylon strings, and decent electronics. I was searching for a sound that did not come across tinny through a PA system, and I found it. I enjoy the mellow tone for finger-style chord-melody playing, but I also like that I can play rhythm guitar when needed with a pick and don't lose tone quality. Construction is excellent. I've had the guitar for several months and have used it professionally.

Product Review
Let'S just say I have bought a lot of guitars at every price range, but If you are either just starting to play or
an accomplished guitarist. This instrument for the price is the BEST on the lot. Not pricy but loaded with quality sound either pluged in or just by itself the tone is Fantastic. Easy to hold as it is more of the popular thiner body style and it looks beautiful and well constructed. After looking over classical electric guitars for the price, this one came out on top as my choice. Also for a travel guitar it's unbeatable.

I bought this on a S&D Sale because I did not think I would get much for the price. I am quite impressed with the build, feel, and tone of this guitar. I would have been just as happy with a pristine guitar (mine has a light scratch on the bottom hence S&D). AMS is awesome as usual!
BTW - It DOES have a built-in Tuner!

This product exceeded my expectations. It looks and sounds better than I anticipated. There were no flaws in the workmanship and from its look I would have paid more for it. Can't comment on the electric part yet, have not bought my amp yet.
So far so good. I don't anticipate any problems though
Your general opinion of this product.
Love it, was a very good investment.
Easy to play, comfortable ( very light ).
sounds great, I am not a professional, but it exceeds my expectations.
Looks great, no blemishes when it arrived.

Extremely well made. Fit and finish is excellent.
Nice solid woods, I'm sure it will stand the test of time.
Your general opinion of this product.
Very nice guitar for $250!
I bought this for the thinner neck and shallow body. I have small hands so a traditional nylon string is very difficult for me to play.
The thinner body does kill the volume, but I knew that before I bought it. I'm not going to perform with it so it doesn't matter to me. It's pretty well balanced from string to string with no dead spots.
Looks great. Much better than most in this price range.
Action is great, although with a nylon string, the action is always soft.

I've owned one of these for two months and am very happy with the construction and tone (they're made in China). I rarely use the built-in electronics... its natural tone is full and rich.

Average choice ...

Your general opinion of this product.
OVERALL:
This guitar has decent electronic, sounds better when plugged in. I play steel-string but still need some "adjustment" playing the neck of this guitar. In retrospect, I should have bought the wide-neck version. Overall construction is average. It has a truss rod.
Don't expect a lot for this guitar. Better yet, spend a bit more $$$ for better quality.
QUALITY:
Fairly well constructed with a few rough places, I didn't expect much though.
FEATURES:
Electronics are decent. The neck takes some getting used to even for steel-string players.
EASE OF USE:
It's playable out of the box. Action is low but does need some adjustments for intonnation, fret buzz.
VALUE:
I feel this is an average guitar nothing outstanding nor really bad. If you seriously want to play classical, get a better classical guitar with wider neck and worry about electronic/EQ later.
SOUND:
Sounds better

Your general opinion of this product.
If you are going to play classical music on it, buy a tradtional classical guitar. Only because of the narrow nut. This is why I bought this guitar. I thought it would make it easier to play classical music but, traditional all the way.

Your general opinion of this product.
QUALITY:
The guitar is well-made with good electronics, nice finish and style. On the downside, laminated woods are used for the body, which can't be made to sound good with nylon strings.
FEATURES:
Nice touches are the 14th-fret neck joint, low cutaway, and gold tuners. The neck is TOO narrow for me, but I'm old-school. If I could, I would add gold strap buttons (it has none), a bone or graphite nut, and most of all, a Solid Cedar Top! (also about a quarter-inch more neck width.)Also, it has an adjustable truss rod (which most classicals do not) and comes with a hex wrench.
EASE OF USE:
If you are used to full-size classicals as I am, the narrow neck is hard to get accustomed to. Hammer-ons, harmonic runs, and contrapuntal notes are hard to do on this axe because there just isn't room on the fretboard with those thick nylon strings. But, someone just beginning on nylon-string playing may find it easy to play and to learn on.

The slim body makes this a very comfortable guitar. The narrow nut is a plus for accoustic players. Takes some getting used to if you play clssical. Tone is good not great, pretty full for a slim body. Electronics sound good, but some vibration at certain tones. Nice finish , nice guitar over all.

Your general opinion of this product.
This guitar is super easy to play if you are
used to fingerpicking on steel strings. The sound
is reasonable and the electronics are fine. A great guitar if you only need to play nylon part time for that particular sound on certain songs.

Your general opinion of this product.
QUALITY:
This is my best Christmas ever. My lovely wife, Carol, bought me this guitar for Christmas. It just arrived today. Right out of the box, I am tickled pink with it. It played like a dream, that is until I tuned it up to standard pitch. I corrected this by turning the truss rod adjustment a bit
less than a third of a turn clockwise (looking down the neck towards the headstock) The action
on it now, is unbelieveable!!
FEATURES:
Cosmetically, it's just as pretty, and just as well made as any other guitar I've seen in it's class. Very nice gloss finish, beautiful mahogany, and the gold tuners with pearloid buttons
sets it off very nicely. I was very pleased to see dots on the top side of the fingerboard, so
I would know where I was. I'm not a classical guitaist, so this was a helpful feature.
EASE OF USE:
Now that I've tweeked the neck, it plays wonderfully!! I sat and played it for almost 45 minutes

GREAT GUITAR, BUT NOT A TRUE CLASSICAL

Your general opinion of this product.
QUALITY:
THIS GUITAR IS MY 2ND IBANEZ ACOUSTIC, AND IT IS VERY WELL MADE, WITH A VERY
LOW ACTION, IF YOU CAN'T PLAY THEIR GUITARS YOU CAN'T PLAY ANY.
FEATURES:
I RATE FEATURES A 4, BECAUSE IT IS PRETTY BASIC, THE SOUND WHEN AMPLIFIED IS
VERY GOOD, IF YOU WANT GREAT LOW ACTION AND PLAYABILITY W/NYLON GET THIS.
EASE OF USE:
THIS IS A 5. VERY EASY TO PLAY, LOW ACTION, NARROWER NECK THAN BASIC CLASSICALS SO DO YOUR HOMEWORK IF YOU WANT A CLASSICAL ORDER A CLASSICAL. THIS IS GREAT FOR A STEEL STRING PLAYER WHO NEEDS THE SOFT NYLON SOUND FOR THOSE SPECIAL SONGS. GREAT SOUND WHEN AMPED
VALUE:
YOU CAN'T BEAT THE PRICE ON THIS OR MOST IBANEZ ACOUSTICS, THIS IS MY 2ND AND THEY ARE THE BEST.
SOUND:
SOUND IS VERY GOOD WHEN AMPLIFIED, NOT QUITE AS GOOD UN-AMPED BECAUSE OF THE THIN LINE BODY, BUT VERY COMFORTABLE TO HOLD WITH THE THIN BODY, AND THE NECK IS GREAT, WIDER THAN STEEL STRING ACOUSTICS, BUT NOT A
