Insane that you can get such a guitar at this price

Unbelievable value what you pay for, the craftsmanship is amazing, the finish is stunning, the rosewood fretboard is smooth as silk, the tuners feel meh but it holds the tuning really well. If I were to have any complaints i guess is that frets 4 and 5 buzz sometimes on the lower strings, and that the action is a little high for my taste, but both of these are easily fixable anyway.

At this price, it's very good

I bought it for the office, just to have a guitar around while tinkering some code. It's pretty good for the price!

Perfect price/performance

For the price, it's great.

It sounds like a classical guitar and plays like one.

It's a great choice for first time acoustic guitar owners, although if you are serious about classical guitar you will want a more expensive model.

Sound:

The sound is of course not perfect and will not hold up against more expensive guitars, but it still sounds good.

Fretbuzz as stated in other reviews is not present for me. The action is reasonably high and the strings do not buzz even when slammed with a pick.

Quality:

It smells like a nail salon for the first few weeks...

Features:

It's a classical guitar...

Great sound but awful finishing

As soon as I got it I thought it wasn't properly finished. Then I looked at the pictures, and that was it: the neck is not lacquered and the saddle is raw. My bad I didn't check that before. It's weird but it's fine. What was really annoying was the frets. You couldn't even bend the strings without feeling and hearing the noise of friction, that's how poorly the frets were polished; which was even clearly visible especially in the last ones. With sandpaper 400 and 1200 I got them to work. Having said that, tuners are decent, the sound is very good and so are the octaves, so it is still a good purchase all in all.
