Thee solid top cracked after one month

Beautiful parlor which sounds great for the money, but quality if the wood just not good enough. Kept it in humidity controlled environment and it still cracked after a month

Nice guitar

I have 3 martins and 2 Taylor's and this may be the prettiest of them all. Some will laugh but I used to have a 43 lg2 banner. This reminds me of that guitar. I would prefer a k&k mini pickup however.

No regrets so far!

This one almost came perfect straight out of the box! It looks amazing, feels amazing and the frets were a tiny bit sharp, but nothing that can't be fixed in a couple of minutes!

My favorite guitar

I have some expensive guitars however this cheap little parlor guitar is my favorite. I tune down a step and the action is great, no sharp frets, playablility is amazing, and the pick up sounds phenominal. I would Definetely recommend and it plays better than guitars that are triple its price.

Amazing beginner guitar

It is very well built parlour guitar. Intonation is good, action is set up low from the box additional bonus is D'Addario strings. It checks all the marks: 12th fret, pickup/tuner, solid top. Assembly quality and fretwork is amazing for the guitar of this class.

What a beautiful little guitar!

So glad I decided to buy this little gem, the materials used are right up there with the more popular badges. My little baby sings and I couldn't be happier with my purchase.

Better than you think?!

First thing first, it looks like a million bucks.. Really pretty and will surely turn an eye wherever you take it!

Sound wise it sounds like a parlour, a good one! The solid top is reallynice and you can feel the punch when you dig in.

Action is ok, a little high for my tasting..

Frets are smooth with no issues.

Overall an great guitar who wants to be played, and you play it!

Excellent guitar , beautifully made.

The only criticism I can say is the the fret ends were VERY slightly rough, easily rectified with a worn paper nail file ! Beautiful sound and playability, what can I say !
