Nice rosette, nice herringbone stripe. The extras were ok, the gig bag could be better, but the video and everything helped to make it worth the price. The neck was cheap looking, the frets are kinda sub-par and it had a sort of cheap feel. But I'll tell ya, you just can't get a better guitar for the price, considering the extras and all. You get what you pay for.

Sounds great!! I play mostly bluegrass and very little old rock. This guitar sounds good for the price.

Action, Fit, & Finish : 4
I liked the action pretty good. The finish is rather sub-par. The tuning keys look cheap but seem to hold tune. There are sanding marks left on the finish where they didn't get it finish sanded good enough. Still, for under a hundred spot......

Reliability/Durability : 5
I'd say you can get your money's worth out of it. I wouldn't say I'd use it on a gig without a backup guitar, but I think it should hold out for a good while.

Customer Support : No Opinion
Have not dealt with the company, bought it from a wholesaler.

Overall Rating : 7
I'd say it is most definately worth the price. It isn't a high-dollar instrument, hence the low-dollar price. But I would have loved it when I first started out. It is a GREAT beginners instrument, since it doesn't cost much and sounds great.

Guitar feels cheap. Bridge is thin wood, the bone is plastic, and not big enough for the slit makeing it lean which cracked my bridge.

A Yahmama at Cosco for 90 sounds like a Rimerez compared to this guitar.

Action, Fit, & Finish : 1
No laqor finish, looks plasicy, wood is very thin, fret board is part of neck, not a added piece, and its painted black. Even has paint mess ups. The sides and back are painted not stained.

Reliability/Durability : 1
Mine broke on the second day. The bone was leaning in and broke the piece of wood on the bridge.

Customer Support : 9
HSN took it back and gave full refund. (But only if you call within 30 days of purchase.)

Overall Rating : 1
Get a yamaha instead, this is worth 50 bucks a toy guitar for a 6 year old. I thought i was gonna break it playing the chord part of leyenda. It also buzzes really bad and you can't adjust it.

FINISH ON THIS GUITAR IS VERY DECEIVING AND YOU MUST LOOK CLOSELY TO SEE JUST HOW POORLY IT IS MADE...THE NECK TOP IS NOT ROSEWOOD BUT LOOKS TO BE PLYWOOD, PAINTED BLACK AND SOME AREAS WERE TOUCHED UP WITH PAINT OR MAGIC MARKER...

Reliability/Durability : 2
POORLY MADE...AFTER HAVING IT ABOUT A MONTH THE NECK WARPED AND TWISTED A LITTLE MAKING THE STRINGS HARD TO PLAY...THE STRINGS WERE OFF THE BACK OF THE NECK BY ABOUT 1/2 INCH AND COULD NOT BE CORRECTED. I HAD IT LOOKED AT BY A PROFESSIONAL GUITAR REPAIR PERSON AND SAID THE GUITAR WAS VERY POORLY MADE.

Customer Support : 1
ABSOLUTELY NONE....PURCHASED THE GUITAR FROM HSN NETWORK ON TV THRU THE STRENGTH OF ESTEBAN HIMSELF SELLING THE GUITAR...WHEN I TRIED TO RETURN IT BECAUSE IT BECAME UNPLAYABLE..HSN WOULD NOT TAKE IT BACK AND REFERRED ME TO THE MFR OR DISTRIBUTER (INGENIOUS DESIGNS)..TRIED FOR DAYS TO GET THRU TO THEM BUT COULD NOT...TOTAL RIPOFF!!!
