"Great value for beginers, a guitar you can live with for a long time."
Feature:
Very nice materials and easy to touch up, good because mine has suffered a few little scars :)

Quality:
Very good quailty, perfect condition when I bought it. I am don't treat instrument the best, even though I love them. This has stood up for months now. I have drilled holes for straps and scratched it with a pick. Each time it is easily resored by the beginer if they want it in perfect condition.

Value:
Yes it is worth what I paid for it. I think it will serve me well for years to come. I stared learing on it and I can see it suiting me for a long time.

Desirability:
I it a really nice piece. Other guitars the same price or cheaper, which a beginer may be inclined to buy, are not so nice. A number of my friends paid 20$ less for their first guitar but within 6 months realized that it is actually quite ugly, undeserving of even a name.

Sound:
Good quality sound as a single guitar or with several others.

Support:
I have not needed any repairs and I have done upgrades myself. No problems!

"Basic Guitar with no extra's. No Dot Inlays no Strap Peg"
Feature:
This guitar does not have dot enlays in the neck and also it does not a a guitar strap peg. Even for the low price it should have these, exspecialy since it gets a lot of reviews as a good buy for a begginer which would just plain think it would have the very basic's as these are, but are not there

Quality:
Nice shinny finish. Not perfect but nice. The worst quality about this guitar is there are no dot inlays in the neck which you would exspect, almost every guitar to come with just because it is a guitar. If you want to use a guitar strap you will have problems as there is no peg or button on the guitar body to hook one on to it. There are no extra's at all with this unit. Full retail price would sudjest it to be better than it is. I think the guitar is fairley small for a full size.

Desirability:
Plain Jane, no extra's, not even the ones you would think not to be an extra. Like dot inlays and button for shoulder strap, and it is fairley small in size for a full size guitar.

Sound:
This guitar does sound nice. Considering most nylon string guitars cost quit a bit for any thing decent at all. Most people do not know that that famous guitar Willy Nelson plays one that has the hole warn in it, is nylon stringed.

Overall:
I will play this one for awhile to see if I might like a better nylon string guitar. If i see another guitar that is a lot better at a good price I will probable buy it.
