Right out of the box I was in AWE!!
Besides having to obviously tune the guitar, it was set up perfect.
Great low action, slick neck, beautiful fretboard and the playability
Is easy on the fingers and hands.
What really caught my attention was the sound.
Now listen up! I own a martin, guild and yari. This fender acoustic
For the price is amazing. This guitar competes well with its competition.
Everything is solid on this guitar.
Iv been playing for 20 years and I would highly recommend this guitar for not only
Beginners, but seasoned players as well.
Oh yea. One more thing, I thing what I love the most about this 12 string is
The radius of the neck. It plays as easy as a strat.
My only complaint: the tuners are a bit tight.
I highly recommend this guitar'
