I play mostly american top 40 type songs. from rock to folk. the sound of my acoustic was nice n loud. very bright, I an using earnie ball regular slinkies on it. probably not the best but they are affordable. the guitar has a pleasent tone though. i like it real well so far.

I bought it second hand. it sat in previous owners closet and became a spiders luxury condo.
a few tuning pegs were slightly too loose for my liking, but the fretwires were smooth up and down. the action of this guitar is good. it could be better with some adjustments, but for the novice / intermediate player it is more than adequete.

live concert sound? I hope you have a good fx processor. hardware is sufficently good.
finish is well above avrage. strap buttons were solid. dependable but maybe go all out and get a set of those 18$ strings, maybe that will help this guitar to have an overall more professional, and full tone.

ive been playing off and on since age 12 ( im 27) I own a fender strat squier as well.
im happy with my second hand purchase. if it was lost I would buy a talkamine, or another cheaper brand acoustic. I love that I paid 30$ for a guitar that feels nice and has a present sound. I hate that the fact that it has a bit too bright of a tone. my favorite feature is the finish and solid build. I wish it was made anywhere other than china. lol.
I think the avrage player wouldent mind this guitar at all. be smart though.
better action and better sound are key in acoustic shopping.

This is your ordinary acoustic guitar with 20 frets. Don't know when it was made, and I don't know where it was made at.

Well this little cheap guitar sounds pretty nice after professional setup. I can't really explain the sound but it has a very nice bright tone. (If you are looking for the best sounding guitar,look for a different guitar)

Just to let you know, you will have to setup this guitar yourself. The factory was too lazy to make the setup half way decent. So when I took guitar lessons my teacher taught me how to setup this guitar. He had to lower the action, lower the frets,(took alot of work)and slapped new strings on it.(The factory put cheap strings on it)
When it was all finished...BEUTIFUL. They did do an excellant job on the staining.(I just love it)
If you put time and effort in this, it can be very nice guitar.
By the way I have two friends that has the same guitar as me and they hate thiers, but after thier guitar was properly setup, they loved it just like I do.

I have been playing for three or four years. I have owned three electrics and this my only acoustic and I am not planning to get rid of it. I have played other guitars and yes SOME of the acoustics played better, but I prefer this one. If it was lost or stolen, I would cry, then I would get pissed off because then I would have to go to the music store and special order it which would cost me 20 bucks more, and I would have to wait a month.(they don't sell this brand at our music store anymore)
But this is a great guitar.
