Features

5
HAS A SUNBURNT LOOK. DREADNUAGHT. LOOKS LIKE A GIBSON HUMMINGBIRD COPY
NO TRUSS ROD. JAPANESE MADE.
Sound
:
5
NICE TO PICK. HAS SLIGHT NICK TWIST. CHORDS SOUND OUT. BAR CHORDS ARE NOT GOOD. ONLY GOOD FOR LITTLE BITS OF LEAD. USUALLY I TUNE IT TO A CHORD OR LEAVE IT OPEN TUNING .BEAUTIFUL TO PLAY OPEN SLIDE ON.
Action, Fit, & Finish
:
4
IF IT WAS SET UP PROPERLY IT WOULD BE FINE. THE NECK IS GOOD FOR SMALL HANDS AND MOVING AROUND NECK. ACTION A GOOD BUT LIFTING A LITTLE ON THE WAY TO BRIDGE.
Reliability/Durability
:
4
NOT SOMETHING I WOULD TAKE OUT TO AN ADVENTURE. WITHOUT ATTENTION IT HAS TURNED INTO A DUST COLLECTOR. IT APPEARS DURABLE FOR A JAPANESE GUITAR. NOT RELIABLE UNLESS SET UP. THIS ONE AS I SAID HAS A TWISTIN NECK.

I`M KEEPING THIS GUITAR BEACUSE IT`S EITHER SO UNUSUAL AS A BRAND OR IT MAY MEND WELL WITH ATTENTION. I`M OFF TO SHOW THE LUTHIERS TO SEE WHAT THEY THINK.
Overall Rating
:
5
IF IT WAS SET IT WOULD BE NICE. I WON`T SPEND TOO MUCH ON THAT IF I`M GIVEN AN OPTION. LIKE A SAID BEFORE LIKE THE GIBSON HUMMINGBIRD LONG LOST AND VERY DISTANT COUSIN. NEEDS LOTS OF ATTENTION. MIGHT LEAVE IN OPEN TUNING IF ALL ELSE FAILS. DAUGHTER STRUMS IT IN OPEN TO A NICE RINGING SOUND
