Quality is decent, the neck feel solid, it stays in tune pretty good. Mine had a few small imperfections in the finish, but not that bad really. The frets were horrible at first however.
Seems decently reliable for a cheaper acoustic.
Your general opinion of this product.
I like this guitar, but I have a couple gripes with it.
#1 - the frets were not really all that smooth, they made alot of noise when bending or sliding from fret to fret. I ended up taking all the strings off, taping off the frets, and sanding them til they were smooth, this fixed the fret issue. But shouldn't really have been a problem in the first place. #2 as I stated already, there were some blemishes in the finish of mine. I bought it brand new, not a scratch and dent. All in all for the price, it's still a good deal. But for those with little or no experience I imagine would frustrate them.
After fixing the fret issue myself, the guitar tremendously improved as far as playability. The action is almost perfect. The guitar isn't hard to play.
I would say it is bright sounding, I thought it would have more bass seeing that the guitar is a fatter concert model. But the bass response is a little limp. I improved the bass a little by installing a Planet waves O-Port.
For the most part the finish looks fine, but had a few small imperfections here and there.
The action is fine now, especially after I sanded down the frets til they were smooth. But to be honest, I shouldn't have had to do that to begin with.
