Giannini GN50

This is a small classical guitar. it sounds very similar to the one posted before me. The body meets at the 12th fret. It has a 3 wood soundhole decoration. It has a plastic bridge and very simple tuners with plastic knobs on the turnpegs. It has a natural finish. This was given to me by a relative that didn't want it. This is what I started playing on. It has a good sound for the size that it is. Very mellow. I haven't played too many guitars but when I play with other people, I bring it along for kicks and someitmes end up using it as a primary. I would never choose it to buy, but for it's cheapness, it has good sound and is easy to play.

It sounds very mellow, but also muffled at times especially with power chords. For picking it is great too. Is louder than some fullbodied guitars.

The action is a little high, but withthe nylon strings it doesn't matter too much. I use this sometimes over my electric guitar for some solos/picking. There are several chips in the finish, but that is from rough use. There are no flows from the manufacturer that I know of.

It is not much to look at. I would use it for spontanious jams. It stays in tune except for the G string slips out every no and again. The finish is very durable, but I have put this guitar through some rough times. It shows some scratches now. This is sort of like my travel guitar.

I ahve tried to get info on the Giannini company, but have not been able to find anything about/from them. I have no idea where this guitar came from or how old it is.

I started playing withthis guitar 4 yrs ago. I have since bought a Yamaha Pacifica (electric w/humbucker). I plan on buying a jumbo, accoustic/electric, cutaway to replace this Giannini. I would buy one of these if the price was good. I don't hav much to compare it with. It makes for a descent beginer, travel, throw around guitar.
