D-120CE TB : Acoustic electric guitar for use away from home

This is incredible value for this guitar.

I have been playing guitar for the best part of 60 years and, in terms of value for money, is one of the best I have bought. Just to put that it in context I must say it is not the best guitar I have bought but does not fall short on any aspects of being very good in construction, set up, tone and playability. I have had this just over a week and, as always, is acclimatising and being played in to suit me. I will adjust as necessary over the next few weeks, though it is just fine straight out of the box.

The strings are not to my preference, which is probably true for any guitarist who has their preferred brand and type of strings. There is nothing particularly wrong with the strIngs for any new guitarist. The temptation is to find things to criticise to justify having bought such a low priced guitar - notice I have not said ‘cheap’. It is cheap in price but not in quality.

This will be taken with me to leave with a friend when we visit so I always have a guitar available when visiting them, and, I stress, an instrument that is easy to play and sounds good. This fits the bill at a superb price.

The built in pick up and pre amp is a bonus. I have tried it out and found it very acceptable, though that will not get used very much.
