A really nice guitar for beginners and up

Nice crisp sound, exactly what was play in the demo. Thick neck for a good grip. Fret board has a nice feel too. Battery access on the outside no detuning to change it.

First ever guitar bought on line but when it arrived I was impressed. It was exactly what the on line description had read.

Tracked shipping. Got to Ireland with in 2 weeks of my order.

Only con would be the head and finding a spot for the clip on tuner but that's easily sorted.

Great Guitar for the price.

This is a great little guitar for what you pay. I bought it for my little brother as he has been begging me to teach him how to play. The round back I find makes it easier for a beginner. Some may disagree with that. Great sound when plugged in too. I would definitely recommend.

Very nice for starters!

I am an electric guitar player who has studiously avoided acoustics all my life, but decided I needed a bit of a technique 'baptism of fire' (you can get away with quite a bit on an electric with the gain and volume up!) so decided to go for an inexpensive acoustic to see how I got on.

I had my eye on an Ovation super shallow guitar, basically because they are nice and thin, like and electric and the neck is very similar to an electric guitar. I have always found that trying to play some acoustics is a bit like hugging a box... not really comfortable. Ovations are quite pricey though, and I was left wondering what new electric I could add to my collection for the price of one of those. Then I saw this, which is practically identical to an Ovation Applause.

I really like this guitar. It had a few finish issues - black paint smudges on the binding etc, and the action was a bit too high for me but it sounds lovely. And for the price, I can't really complain about the odd tiny flaw. The neck is great too.... matte finished and easy to play. Fingerboard looks really good quality too. I have heard people say roundbacks are not brilliant plugged in but I have other guitars to plug in, and will be just using this acoustically for practice, so it doesn't bother me at all if that is the case. I think it looks very smart too. Roundback guitars also tend to be a bit more robust than all-wood ones, which is good for me because I have already dropped this a few times....! Not a mark or ding anywhere!

So, in short, if you want a nice guitar, which isn't going to fall apart on you, will look and sound lovely and have people wanting to have a try out of it, then this is for you. Excellent guitar for the price.
