   i been wanting to learn how to play guitar, now i save some money so i bought it. when it came the 4th 5th and 6th string is a small rusty i dont know y. aint it suppose to new? took me like an hour to tune it to tone. 1 of the string snap like it broke but it didnt, i was shock cuz i heard a load snap. all i did was release the tense of the string and place it back into tune.

   if ur a beginner guitar player like me, u should buy it, even tho the string a small rusted but it still make a nice sound. am still learning.

   if u know how to play i suggest u buy something more expensive cuz u wont like wat u paid for. ill keep the guitar but i wont buy it from amazon for guitar no more, i would go to the actual site to buy it or go to a guitar store and buy one, cuz u see wat u getting here u just a picture which u probably dont like.

   Before getting this guitar I had an F349 Takamine that sounded incredible but which I left behind in my home country.

   So, I was very surprised at how excellent this guitar sounded for a laminate wood construction (there is an unmistakable odor like new wood furniture coming from the sound hole =)). It has a very nice sustain and clarity for fingerstyle playing, probably due to the mahogany back and sides. It does OK on strumming, although with heavy strumming sound quality decreases (but its loud!). There’s some roughness where the fretboard joins to the neck on the one I got so I’ll probably have to smoothen it myself somehow — typical for low-range instruments I would expect. Other than that, the neck feels smooth overall (I much prefer a satin finished neck compared to glossy), excellent action and a nice balanced woody tone. It would be awesome if there was a second strap button at the neck joint! I’m very satisfied with this guitar and I highly recommend it to anyone who’s on a tight budget and also to beginners!

   I am a highschool senior and became interested in guitar after taking a guitar class in school. I bought this guitar thinking it would be the perfect guitar for me and it is. This guitar is a excellent choice for people who are beginners or those who are somewhat skilled at the guitar. It is not for those who perform for others on a regular basis. I gave it four stars because it does have some flaws. The fret board is painted black, it could use a couple more coats because it is streaky all the way up the fret board, but this is not noticable unless you are very close to it. Also, there is only one attachment for a strap so if you use a strap you will have to attach something to the other end. I don’t use a strap so I would have liked it if that piece was not on it. But these flaws don’t affect the quality of the music so I still like it. A warning though is that the sound is a bit higher than other guitars I have played. A tip for you – no matter what guitar you get I recommend getting a tuner they are cheap and incredible, I bought the KORG CA-1 and it works amazingly, I couldn’t live without it.

   I’m not exactly an expert on the subject of acoustic guitars, but as an owner of a few from poor quality cheap ones to high quality expensive ones this one is exceptional. It has a very simple to hold design which is fantastic for a person, such as myself, with smaller hands to grip and form open and bar chords easily. It has quality sound and looks fantastic as well. That’s just my two cents maybe others with a lot more experience in instrument quality would disagree. The bottom line is for this relatively low price this guitar was well worth the money spent possibly even more.
