Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
real nice guitar with a strong balanced sound, and easy to fret chords. sturdy, and very well made. smooth neck, nice finish on the body. I would recommend this to anyone looking to travel, or on a tight budget like me. the longer I own it, the better it feels and sounds. I have owned the big brother martins, of course they sound great, but this is no guitar to sneeze at. try one out YOURSELF before you start believing the online naysayers...
