Verified Purchaser zZounds has verified that this reviewer purchased this specific product from us.
This guitar was purchased as an extra so it should satisfy my needs for a few years. It isn't a terrific guitar by any means but it fits the bill as an extra and as a guitar that you don't have to baby.
Sound
The sound is somewhat tinny. The strings seemed to be damaged on my guitar---they have scratches and minor dings. Have not had opportunity to change them yet but will report back.
Quality
Reasonbly well-made but the pick guard is so thin, you can see through it easily and gives the guitar a cheap look. Disappointing. Otherwise, the guitar is very nicely finished.
Value
Yamaha/Taylor would probably be a better value, but this guitar isn't bad.
