This product (the 140cd-sce) played great straight out of the box . It has a bright tone as opposed to a boomy dreadnaut tone, but then again, I haven't changed the strings yet. The guitar is beautiful . In some lights , it is a beautiful deep red, and in others , a smooth chocolate brown color. It has what I would consider to be a very low action , yet has no fret buzz.I've read that these guitars have quality control issues, and mine was no different. It has some blemishes on the neck near the highest notes on the highest string, where they seemed to have sanded it a bit too much , as well as some other very small imperfections .It feels good sitting down and standing. Overall, great guitar. People tout and review this as a beginner guitar, and while it certainly would be great for a beginner , it's also good enough for this 15 year player to enjoy for years to come .

Musical Background:

Playing for 15 years -guitar, bass and piano. I play two gigs or more a week semi professionally.

Musical Style:

Rock, pop, classic rock, stoner metal
