Sound

I play mostly Jimmy Buffett music, sound quality is nice. As with any enty level guitar, buzzing comes from the frets from time to time. Also, the action was set too hig, I tweaked the rod in the neck and it was remedied. The guitar sounds good un-amped, but when plugged in, it sounds like a high quailty guitar. The pickups and eq perfom flawlessly. A little tingy near the high strings, good bass and midrange punch. Changed heavy strings with DeanMerkley medium-light. sounds great

Like mentioned previosly, the action was too high, but was easily fixed. Stays in tune, great higher quality tuners.

Overall Rating

Great entry level guitar or as a backup. The finish is durable, bit not flawless like found on more expensive guitars. I would recommend to most who want a throw around guitar to learn on or play at campouts/concerts....
Great value
