This guitar was made in China 2001.
The guitar is a classical dreagnougt. She has 24 frets and a solid top and a solid body too I think. The top is made from Spruce the body and the neck is Mahagoni the fretboard is rosewood.
The body and the Top have a satin finish which looks very beautyfull. The Tuners are closed chrome-tuners. I got a gig-bag with the guitar.
Sound
:
9
I'm playing Folk, Rock, and some other stuff and this baby has the right sound for all the things I play.
As I bought it, there were "Dean Markley Phosbronze Acoustic" strings on it. Which this strings the guitar was a little bit dull and had not enough brilliance. I put D'Addario phosphor bronce/X-light strings on my new baby and the sound was great! Full and rich, with brilliance in the higher parts not to noisy, not to low. I love it!!
Action, Fit, & Finish

The action of this guitar is verry good for a guitar of this price. It is low and you can play everything very easy. The frets and the fretboard were poloished from the dealer. On the bottom were two or the little pearls n the finish. But you can see this only if you look verry exactly. The body has two bindings.
Reliability/Durability

I play his guitar at home or with friends and i havent any prob with it. The tuners stay for a month in tune. But the finnish is thin so you must have a look on it, if you dont want to get scrathes on it.

Overall Rating
:
No Opinion
This is the third guitar i bought. At the moment I have a Jasmine too.
If this guitar were stolen or lost i will replace it! Friends of me who listen to the sound of my Aria would't belive that i have paid so less money. The same guitar in our local shop should cost 380 ? without a gigbag. All in all this guitar can easy compare with guitars in the 500 ? class. If you see any in our shop try it! BUT the sound only comes so great if you use A'Darrio strings. Over all i will give her 10 points because I think you can't get a better guitar for this price.
