I wanted for a 3/4 size guitar that i could bash around practice and take with me wherever i go. So I tried a few around the local music shops i think one of which cost around 700 dollars(AU) but that kinda defeated my purpose for owning a 3/4 size. so i thought i would try the cheapest and work my way up. i found this little ashton and when i picked it up and played it, i was amazed at the sound quality and playability for this little $99 guitar (talked the owner down to $85) would recommend it to anyone seeking a portable practice guitar that will be easy to play and sound great.

Very well designed little guitar that, in my opinion, is better sounding and easier to play than the more expensive three quarter guitars that i have tested, great response.
Reliability/Durability

I have owned this little guitar now for almost 2 years. It has served me very well...and looks as good as it did the day i bought it
This guitar was made to last. there are no strap buttons, but they would be pointless on such a light guitar. i have had friends drop it countless times only to find that it didnt even effect it.

I have never needed to use the warrenty, get it repaired, or even polish it. I think i got a 3 year warrenty with it. but i seriously doubt that anyone would ever need to use it, even if there was a 5 year warrenty.
Overall Rating

I have been playing for rougly 4-5 years.
If it was misplaced then i would definatly buy another.
I also own a Washburn acoustic-eletric dreadnought guitar
i do wish that it had an adjustable bridge, and a scratch plate.
but overall there is no better guitar, for those that are just starting out and want something that is portable, sounds good, lasts and easy to play.
