Delta Blues DCE : Fine first acoustic guitar

I bought this guitar as my first acoustic. I’m a beginner guitarist and I wanted a guitar like this for practice and learning songs. The first things that caught my eye was the low price point and the overall look of the guitar. Well, I can tell you that I am not disappointed with my purchase.

So, what is good about this instrument?

-It sounds good. I was surprised with the piezo pickup, it sounds really nice on my amp, but it’s a cheap amp so take that with a grain of salt.

-It feels comfortable to play. Although the guitar came with a pair of very thick strings, a bit too thick for me, it didn’t really bother me much since I was planning on changing them anyway.

-I really like the way it looks, but it’s a bit darker then on the photos, again that doesn’t really bother me. I like darker colors anyway.

-The built-in chromatic tuner and the tuners are fine. Not much to say here.

But there are some problems.

-The bridge pins were really hard to remove when I was restringing the guitar. They were really stuck in the bridge, and also the way the bridge itself is designed just made things worse. It took me a long time to get them out.

-There are some blemishes in the finish, all of them unnoticeable without a closer look. But one really made me worried when I first noticed it, it looks like a really tiny crack in the fretboard but when I graze it with my fingers, I don’t really feel anything. I really hope it doesn’t turn into a bigger problem in the future.

Overall, I would recommend this guitar If you want a cheap acoustic with a pickup. Just remember that this is a 98 € guitar. You get a lot or what you paid for.
