Might be the best guitar value on the planet

What a fantastic guitar. Perfectly set up. Tune and play. And what a player it is. The action buttery with a sound profile I would best describe as a honeyed shimmer. 72 hours from Bavaria to S.E. Florida. Beautifully double boxed, the dreadnought arrived in perfect condition. Build quality is exceptional. Without blemish. Flawless. Let me conclude by sharing a personal story. My younger brother, who died young from a wasting neurological disease, was a guitar aficionado. Only the best would do. Gibsons, Guilds, and Fenders were his stock in trade. I guarantee you he would have been exceptionally pleased to have had this acoustic six string in his collection. And I can't give a higher recommendation than that. I'm finished here. I'm going to go play this beauty in his honor.

Great guitar for money.

I was looking for a cheaper guitar for my expensive Furch guitars. I already have a bass guitar from Harley Benton, with which I have excellent experience, so the choice fell on this company again. Although the reviews were positive, I was very surprised by the sound and processing of this instrument. This guitar has a great value for money. One of my best purchases in 30 years of playing musical instruments. I highly recommend it to both beginners and advanced musicians. Good luck to you.

Decent value

Very good value for the price tag.

Keeps in tune which is a major plus. Extremely light so you won’t be throwing it around. Very easy on the neck as I have had two operations on my shoulder and this is important. Wood is good quality, light but generates a decent tone.

Overall, great value for money, might get the cut away model next year with electronics.

One down side, there was no strap catch at the base of the neck, just my only point in an otherwise positive experience with my purchase.

Great value for money

I just bougth it recently and I am very satisfied. It is a very nice guitar, setup was great right out of the box. Sound is sweet and what you would expect from this combination of tonewoods, workmanship is great, there are no visible flaws in finish and other details. Simply a great guitar.

Great sound and excellent value for money

This guitar is solid wood. It has a lovely tone, rich and full, the neck is a nice width and feels great under the hand, and the dreadnought body really sings. It is light in weight and extremely well crafted for a guitar this price. I needed a guitar that handled well and sounded good, but wasn't something I would worry too much about damaging. I am very happy with this purchase
