Solid spruce top grand concert small bodied acoustic. Gloss finish, chrome button tuners, rosewood fretboard and bridge, laminated mahogany back/sides. Saddle made of Tusq? 1.68" nut. Single ivoroid end pin glued in. Well featured for an acoustic- nice clean look.
Sound
:
9
The tone is very good, even if not very loud from the industrial strength polyurethane finish on it. Does not have a distinctive signature tone like a Martin, Taylor, or Gibson, but at this price I don't expect it to either. It is balanced towards the treble side (small body) with very tight bass but this makes for a very recordable guitar. The sound does cut nicely though. I think the tone will defintely improve over time and play.
Action, Fit, & Finish

Action, fit, and finish are very good at this price point. Nice woods, everything is tight and professional. Action is quite low, and far superior to most Asian built guitars. Tusq saddle has much room for adjustment if ever needed. Superb.
Reliability/Durability

This one seems built to last. Everything feels solid and quality, and the finish could probably withstand a blowtorch.

I've been playing over 15 years. I've owned and played lots of stuff professionally and otherwise. This guitar is a quality instrument at this price and would make a fantastic first guitar or a good backup. The only thing I wish it had is a real nice lacquer finish on it.
