Was not the big sound i was waiting for, but still OK for the price. Plays better finger style. The bass is quite googd i must admit for low budget guitar.
Action, Fit, & Finish

That action needed some work before playing the guitar. In fact the set up was terrible out of the boxe. I had to replace the strings right away. It was pretty dirty (dust) when i picked it up from the case.The finish was alaround not bad, exepte for some peint peeling on the bindings where the neck meets the body of the guitar.Don't know what happended to the fretboard but my finger tips got black from playing the guitar, even after i tried to clean it.

It's a nice guitar to have lying around the house. Don't know if it would stand trough giging. Nice to look at!

I've been playing for 20 some years. Never owned an expensive guitar, but this year i treated myself whit a Gibson Les Paul classic model. I have a jumbo takamine cutaway whit electronics that i play a lot. If i had tried this guitar i would not have bought it. It is nice but not great.

This guitar as a nice vintage look. A comfortable dreadnought slop shoulder. The open grover sta-tite tuner work well. Comes with a nice, well fited hardshell case. The case as a hydrometer taht i'm not sure is working well.Bone nut and saddle. The neck is comfortable for it is a V-neck shape.

At first it sounded death to me. So i changed the strings and it got a little bit better. It does not have the big sound i was waiting for. To me, it is just OK!
Action, Fit, & Finish

It came home by UPS. The guitar was dirty and not set up. I mean , everything was there but it needed some work to start playing with it. The finish is glassy and fine. But i still have black paint on my fingertips from playing it a day or two. It needed a big clean up. I guess it is like any low cost guitar that comes from china. A little glue here end there but i was disapointed when i discover that some paint was peeling off on the neck on the bindings where the neck is glued to the body. The action is ok, but to high for me.
