I was really not expecting much from this guitar but am trying it anyway. So far it’s ok playing and sounds good. Excellent resonance and sounds good on the amp with the hollowed out setting and the full bodied setting. Will be commenting again , but so far for the money it’s a good sounding well put together instrument.
