D-120CE BK : Good guitar that needs some work

8 years ago

I'm still learning, so my opinion might not be the best to judge the instrument by.

I was looking for a cheap steel string guitar and picked up one of those.

Overall I rate it a good bargain if you know how to setup a guitar or if you are willing to learn.

If you want good play-ability out of the box, then something else might suit you better.

Pros:

It really looks nice and after some setup work, it plays nice and sounds nice. Very cheap too.

Cons:

At least my guitar had very high action and really hard to play. It needed lowering a lot. Fretboard needs some levelling too or you will have buzz after lowering action. New strings is a good idea too - pick some up with your guitar.

If you need help on setup then there is an excellent video on YouTube on this particular model:
