Same details as my last review
Sound
:

This suits my music style OK, which is rock, alternative, bluesy kinda stuff.
The sound is very full for a cheap guitar, with huge booming lows but not much in the way of highs.
It can make your basic Classical sounds.
I like the fact that its a classical, it has a nice feel.
Action, Fit, & Finish

Well Im not sure about the factory setup, but nothing much has changed except I sanded down and polished the frets cos they were rusty.
The action is pretty decent actually.
Can't see much of the grain, but it looks OK. It may not even be wood for all I know...
No flaws that i can see.

I doubt i would take this guitar to a gig, but it seems pretty tough.
The hardwares fine except the tuning pegs, which are pretty dodgy.
Finish is fine.
No strap buttons as of yet.
I can depend on it.
This would be my backup at a gig.

i did NOT buy this guitar, my Nextdoor neighbour bought it and gave it to me when he got bored of it. It costs $99 new.

I just recieved this guitar from ,my neighbour, who gave up playing, but he was right handed, and i havent converted it yet, so i dont know how it suits my style.
RICH, FULL sound, sounds like it'll make some good sounsds, (pardon the pun) big variety of sounds so far.
I like the size of this guitar, it's fairly big without being too big.

I'd use it live, but by the time i get that chance, i would like to have something more expensive :P.
Hardware should last.
Finish looks tough.
No strap buttons, but it'll have some soon.
i candepend on it and i would use it without a backup.

7 year ive been playing. I own a fender twin amp, an epiphone les paul custom, a peavey audition 20 amp, a self made 'strat', a no-name blue acoustic, and this. If it were stolen or lost i'd probably try and get an acoustic/electric version of this.
