7 out of 10Feature:
The selection of wood for the guitar was great for the value.
Quality:
For the value, I think the guitar is well made. However, I did feel a few burrs on the frets. Also, the back of the guitar needs more final finish work. The guitar felt good while I was playing it.
Value:
Yes.
Desirability:
It just a practical addition to my setup.
Sound:
The CG-40MA has a warm sound. I played it for a two hours. I will have to lower the action a little. However, the CG-40MA has a nice tone and plays well for a beginner guitar. When I compare it to my more expensive classical guitars, I think the CG-40MA , for the value, is good investment for a beginner or professional guitarist.
Ease of Use:
n/a
Support:
n/a
Overall:
For the value and quality, I think the CG-40MA is a good investment for a beginner guitar.
yes
no

I got the bag with it and that is it. The bag is really good but I really don't like it:it is durable but I preffer a thicker bag.I put abalone dot inlays in it and it looks really good too.
Quality:
I've had this for three years and other than the inlays everything else is stock[that's how good the parts are]The tuning is stable and lasts for weeks. I've used this for countless gigs and it never leaves me down
Value:
VeRy VeRy GrEaT qUaLiTy
Desirability:
Never get tired of it
Sound:
I've had this guitar for about 3 years and I can tell you taht this guitar sounds really really good. The sound gets better through out the years and I guess It might just be me but the spruce top seems to sound brighter every day and the mahogany bady creates a bass reaponse sort of like a dreadnought, either way it sound really good.
Overall:
the best value
yes
no

A very good book for a beginner. I have looked at many books' for beginning of classical guitar. This is by far the best! It has more then notes. It explains a great deal about what one is about to learn. It also gives some background information about classical guitar virtousi. Something you will not get from other books.
Quality:
Very well for the price. As to the worst for the money it's great. I believe with care it should out last me and my grand kids.
Value:
Yes
Desirability:
So, So
Sound:
For the money. The sound is one of the best I have ever heard. The deep tones come thru rich and natural. The higher notes are chisp and clear.
Support:
NO, but I trust zzound and I know they will stand behind me.
Overall:
I plan on starting my grandchild out on this. A passing it on to her.
yes
no
