Johnson JG-650-TN

Thinline dreadnought acoustic electic cutaway, with a volume and tone knob. Schaller style tuners. Seems to be a solid top, but I'm really not sure what its made of, being it was a $150 guitar.

It suits my folk/blues style well. I found it very easy to play when i picked it up, compared to the other guitars at the time i had tried. Acousticaly, it sounds very nice. Has good highs and lows. When plugged in, however, it has a bright sound and hardly any bass. Until you turn the tone knob down most of the way, then its alright... But i really was surprised at the nice acoustic sound it provided.

Compared to the guitar i was originally looking at, the action is B-E-A-UTIFUL. I can play chords no problem up until the 15th fret with no intonation changes. Everything seems to be in very good shape, and I'm satisfied with it.

This guitar should withstand alot. At least I hope it can, I bought it as a beater for college so i didnt have to take my Yamaha APX-9-12 down (into Philadelphia). I'm going to be depending on this guitar to provide for lots of street playing and panhandling for money, because begging for cash is what college kids do best :)

Otherwise, it feels quite solid.

I dont think i'll have to.

I've been plaiying for a whopping 3 1/2 years, and own a yamaha apx-9-12, a kentuky KM140 Mandolin, a cremona violin (yay.) a squier strat (woo.), a banjo i stole from a fat woman (double woo.) and a ukelele that a scary man gave to me (triple woo.)

If this were stolen or lost, i'd try to get another. That's why im bringing it to philly with me, just in case it does.

I love wha ti got for the price i paid. THe one i originally intended getting was a mini jumbo jasmine acoustic electric, but the action on that was quite ugly, and the sound was sub-par, even though i like playing jasmines. I picked this one up and tried it instead, and paid $40 more for it because i was impressed by how it performed.

So if youre on a budget and need a decent guitar, this is the way to go.
