A Nice Budget Acoustic

This thing was cheap and considering the price it was pretty decent. I've played worse for sure. I bought this as a first full size acoustic for my son. He liked the gloss black finish and it does look pretty smart. It got him started and he played the hell out of it for the first six months but was always going to be seduced by electric. We since sold this on to another student only losing £10 on the deal. Overall, a positive experience for a beginner....it's no Takamine or Taylor, obviously. It's a cheap acoustic but it had a decent tone and sounded very nice. Action was a bit high for my taste but not bad enough to be problematic and my boy never felt uncomfortable with it either. If you want a new, cheap acoustic, that's what you're getting with this model - nothing fancy, nothing earth shattering but it's not a piece of junk either, like so many cheap guitars can be. If you just want to try and mike some nice acoustic noise, it's up to the task. Churlish to complain too much at the price point we're talking here. If your expectations are reasonable you probably won't be disappointed by this entry level model.

A nice piece for the pricepoint

Its nicely made, feels much higher quality than the price suggests.

Had it a little over a month and it hasnt let me down yet.

It sounds great with nice warm bass tones, but bright enough at the top end.

Remains in tune after initial tuning well.

Came sufficiently packaged.

I only use it as an acoustic, but liked the idea of of having the option to plug in should I need to.

The pickup isnt great, but as I said that isnt really an issue for me.

Only other little negative was a couple of the frets were quite sharp - but nothing a quick file hasnt fixed.

Overall, I'm very happy, and would recommend to anyone who wants a nice to play acoustic without breaking the bank.

Great value for money!

For the rice, this guitar is excellent. Been heavily playing it for gigs for about a year, so its very durable. Downside is it's tuners tend to loosen up so i need to stretch the strings while tuning it, but that depends on the playing style. The input jack also streched a little bit so there's some noise, but thats fixable. Once again, good value for money, if you are a begginer/intermediate gig musician, look no further.

Not Bad!

For what I paid, I think this is a very adequate beginner acoustic for left handed players! The pre-amp is nice and the neck binding looks beautiful. No flaws in the finish, only some minimal fret buzz that could probably be corrected by a set-up. Excellent tuning machines, it stayed in tune for a week.

Excellent acoustic guitar for the price

I was looking for a lefty cheap acoustic guitar with a pickup so to practice, record myself, and do not spend a fortune since I'm a beginner. I'm very satisfied with my choice, the guitar is easy to play, good quality with a warm sound and it is good looking too. Considering the price, buying this guitar it's a no-brainer choice. Highly recommended. Note: I replaced the strings with Daddario EJ10.

Cheap but usable

This guitar was for my son. I am also a guitar and piano teacher so I have seen and tried a wide range of cheap guitars. This one while not great as a guitar is good for the price.

The frets are a bit rough on the edges, the neck isn't very thin and the fretboard is a bit dry. The sound however is pretty good and better in my opinion than guitars that I have come across at twice the price.

So for a beginners guitar it is really good and I wish I had it when I was starting instead of the plank that I had to use to get going

Got it for holidays

Picked up this Guitar for bringing on Holiday. Can't fault it, does what it was designed to do and perfect for knocking out a few tunes in the evening.

Budget guitar.

Without being spectacular, this is a great little guitar for the money.

Battery life isn't amazing, and playability it's amazing, but it's a lovely little semi-acoustic for the price.

Use it as a backup guitar, but has never let me down when called upon.

Incredible value for money

This guitar was a present for my wife. She has learnt to play guitar right handed, but being left handed hit a bit of a barrier. She wanted to try a lefty but didn't want to spend much money. We were amazed by this guitar when it arrived. The quality is incredible, it sounds good, very good for the price. The finish is superb, has good as any of our instruments, most of which cost more than twice the price. Downside is a slight rattle on a machine head, only on one note played loudly. All round an excellent purchase.
