AW54-OPN : Big sound

This guitar was bought for a teenager who is a beginner, and it is going to be used at home for practice/playing/learning. It has replaced a very cheap classic guitar with nylon strings, and the difference is massive in terms of build quality, finish, and sound.

The guitar fills the room with warm tones, but also has lots of clarity. It was also perfect out of the box, with no flaws, and the tag said it had been inspected by Ibanez in Germany. It was almost in tune, right out of the box.

The setup is good enough. Slightly high, perhaps, but the fretwork is good.

Pros:

- It looks great, with the dark top, and open pore finish

- great value for money

- sounds loud, and clear, with a warm tone

Cons:

- for the price, nothing to complain about. Perhaps the setup could have been a little lower.

Overall, I would say this is a great guitar for a beginner on a budget. It's big and can produce a lot of volume, looks good and plays nicely out of the box. Definitely worth the price.
