This is a full size acoustic (hollow body) guitar with no special feartures except for it's awesome plastic bridge pins, and beautiful plain black pick-guard. It also has an extremely ulgy wood-grain head with a color that doesn't match any part of the guitar. One thing that actually does look good, is the nicely carved wooden bridge.
Sound

The strings that i did have on it (Martin ???) made the guitar sound like crap mainly because if you touch the strings they slice your fingers open. I decided to try out some of my favorite electric guitar strings on the acoustic, and now it sounds and feels great. There is vertually no fret noise, and it kept a full sound even with the electric strings.

I really hate the color of the head on the guitar. It's factory stained wood-grain to a color that doesn't match the rest of the guitar at all. One thing that i noticed was the extremely crappy machine-heads that came on it. They were pretty hard to turn, and also looked bad. But these machine heads kept the guitar in tune. I never had to tune the guitar even once after playing it for many many hours.
Reliability/Durability

The pickguard is peeling off, the neck rod is broken, the neck is warped because of this, the strings are over half-an-inch off the neck near the body. So i would say that the guitar is a peice of crap when it comes to durability.

The guitar sounds pretty good considering what it has wrong with it.
