D-120CE BK : A surprisingly good guitar

5 years ago

I didn't anticipate much at this price point, but this is quite a good guitar.

My only real critiques are with the bridge of the guitar, and the bridge pins.

The bridge is a less refined, and seemingly softer piece of wood. It seems to have been rather rough cut, and could use some love from a cabinet scraper. The holes for the bridge pin aren't the cleanest work, and the wood here is pretty soft.

Some of the bridge pins seem to have been forced in a little too far, which considering the soft wood, and the cheap bridge pins, makes them rather hard to get back out again.

I've yet to plug it in to a PA system, so I can't speak to the amplification, but acoustically the guitar sounds great. Fit and finish are surprisingly decent, and it was set up fairly well when it made it to me.
