Year unknown
bought it used at a pawn shop, paid 150 for it and has a nice hard shell case.
sounds great and the action is great.
nice clean and clean sound and is great when i play lead with a medium pick.
I also own a PRS and use them both for lead.
for an acoustic, it is easy on the fingers.
like it a lot.

Got it from guitar center a couple of days ago. It looks like its a pretty standard finish, unstained and sort of matte. Tuners feel smooth but sort of "wimpy"

Sound : 10
I really couldn't believe that this thing hadn't sold. Excellent volume for the body shape. I thought that the frequencies out of this guitar were comparable to the flatness of the other guitars selling for 2 grand. Seriously, this thing is a f-ing hammer. Sounded good on tape. Mike this thing with a matched set of ribbons and you've got the mix.

Action, Fit, & Finish : No Opinion
Good action. Maybe 1/8" or so. No buzz from the frets, but they're junk. That's what I can't figure with this thing. They could've invested more in the metal parts.

Been playing off and on since I was a teenager. I own and play pianos, basses, electric and acoustic guitars. I'd by it again. For the price it can't get any better than this.

Basic acoustic guitar. Mine was purchased in September 2003 with a gig bag for $279. It's a 22-fret, 14 clear of body, acoustic with solid cedar top. Sounds great.

Sound : 10
Although this isn't one of your top of the line guitars made by hand by Gipetto the Guitar Maker, it has an amazingly rich sound. The sound isn't just "good for this price point": The sound is good for any price point! It's really amazing. Everybody's ears are different, but this is exceptional.

Action, Fit, & Finish : 8
The action is very goodfor me as set up from the store. I use medium GHS strings. No buzzes anywhere.

Reliability/Durability : 9
This guitar is good for strumming of fingerpicking. It's made solidly and is durable. It has enough volume to be used without a pickup if there is a microphone anywhere nearby. Everything on it is solid and has a good feel.

I've been playing for about 14 years. I've had a Washburn and two Yamahas, and this guitar is better than either of them.

Just your basic acoustic guitar. Neither pickups nor a cutaway. Rosewood fretboard. It is laminated. It has cheap tuners and i am not sure on what wood is used on it. It is neither a cut away nor a dreadnought so what ever that leaves, this is it. Tuners, action and fretboard could use improvement. The finish and sound is excellent.

Sound : 8
I play a lot of oasis, the beatles, led zep, the who, counting crow, neil young and tom petty. It suits me perfectly. This guitar sounds amazing when playing rythm when you use a light pick. I would suggest only using a thick pick on this guitar if you are playing lead. The are no buzzes on the fret board and i have had this guitar for a year in a half.

Action, Fit, & Finish : 7
The fit and finish is excellent. Like I said there are on pick ups. The wood quality is great and there are no flaws except for one. The tuners are kinda loose. Although is doesn't come out easily. The action is a little high, but i have played worse. It really only affects me when i play B's. Once you get further down the fret board it is fine. I am giving it a 7 mainly because of the action.

Reliability/Durability : 7
I don't gig so i don't much about this. This guitar will definately last though. I have never broken a string on it and the starp buttons are very solid. The finish is as perfect as the day I bought it. If you did want to gig with this baby i don't think you would need a backup

Customer Support : No Opinion
Never dealt with them

Overall Rating : 8
I have been playing for almost 2 years and i have a squier strat which i hate. This guitar is straight rythm and as i look back on it i wish i would coughed a bit more money and got a cutaway. Don't get me wronge, this guitar is an amazing value. Great for a beginning guitarist like myself. It sounds better than other Fenders and Alvarez guitars that i tried. I recommend it and am happy with my purcahse.
