I have the ac400 light violin burst which is the same guitar as this one except mine does not have a cutaway or electronics. The fret wire is very thin and narrow and low to the fretboard making string bending difficult but there are no sharp fret edges and all -- the frets are pressed in perfectly. The wood on the neck is not dense and that detracts from the sustain the guitar can produce. The tortoise shell binding is stylish. The guitar sounds a little thin on the high strings but the bass has decent sustain. I hope the sound to improve as it ages as the solid spruce top breaks in over time. The tuners are good, open gear grovers. Great guitar for a beginner or even a pro who wants a playable beater. Doesnt come with a gig bag. I bought the non-cutaway model without electronics because I didnt want to spend money on electronics that I will hardly ever use and non-cutaway guitars always sound better unplugged than cutaway guitars as theres an extra chamber.

First of all, I ordered it on Thursday and received it on Saturday with Free Shipping!?!! Wow! Thanks you ZZounds. As to the guitar.... We searched high and low for a guitar for my 12 year old daughter. I wanted a smaller guitar with a solid top, cutaway and good electronics. We looked at the various other $299 guitars with plywood tops (yamaha, ibanez, fender...) and they sounded terrible. I don't believe there is a guitar worth playing that doesn't have a solid top. This guitar is a winner. It sounds full and bright with excellent bass response. The electronics are great - including tuner. The appointments are top notch - open gear tuners, quality tortoiseshell binding, nice finish all around. I haven't found a better sounding or playing guitar for under $500. ZZounds delivered it with a perfect set-up as well.
