Pretty good value for what you pay, solid wood guitar with lovely, expensive appointments, including solid rosewood back and sides, ebony fretbd. and engleman top. Lovely rosette and purfling. Nice Grovers.

Decent sound...a bit thin...doesn't have that deepness of a Martin D-28, but then it's waaaay less money. Top is a bit thin.

The neck angle is PERFECT. I had to file down all the frets near 12-15...waaaay too high...when i brought the saddle down it buzzed. However, they were adjusted ok up to 11 or so. I liked the nut adjustment...was near perfect. The saddle was a tad high but then all manufacturers do that there.

Overall, for what you pay, if you know how to file and finish frets or even check them, this is a steal.

Guitar was made in Korea in July of 2005. It has 14 clear frets, no cutaway. It is an all solid wood guitar with no pickup available. It has a Engelmann spruce top, rosewood back and sides, mahogany neck and the fingerboard and the bridge are made of ebony. It is a dreadnought guitar. I got it with Grover super rotomatic tuners.
Case is included
Sound

I play mostly fingerpicking and flatpicking blues, bluegrass and irish traditional music and I think it fits very well. It has a really bright and airy sound. You can play it quietly or loudly it always keeps the good sound. You can hear all the details in your notes. I played few Martin guitars while i was looking for what to buy and now I really can' t tell the difference in quality of sound.

I came to the shop and salesman was unpacking it from the cardboard box in front of me. Guitar was in her case i've opened it and the first thing i noticed it was the finish she was all shiny and precisely made. All the frets are tuned real good and the bridge is set up perfectly. I took it from the case and expected I'll have to tune it it was precisely tuned I just had to turn up the first thing a little bit and that's it i couldn't believe it cause I live in Croatia and the guitar came from Korea.

It has a lifetime warranty but the problem is that the company is in Korea so I don't know what would happen if anything happens so I don't have an opinion for this.

I've been playing for i think about ten years now. I own an old Hagstrom Scandi elctric guitar that i changed totally so now it's custom, I owned a Ovation and i sold it, i have a Sandana? classical guitar.
I think that this guitar can compare by all her features with Martin, Taylor, etc. guitars that are priced much more
