This is a very nice guitar. I was just looking for that simple guitar & I found it. I love the markings on the fretboard & even the top of the body. I just had to tune it & after inspecting it all & playing a first sound test, I can already tell I have no regrets in picking this one to buy. The tones are punchy & clear & full & the action seems pretty darn perfect too. No fret buzz & all the melody notes from 1rst fret all the way to the last are hitting perfect. The tuners are nice & smooth too. I like that this is a nice light guitar too, maybe weighting about 3.5 lbs or so. I still have to test out the electronics on it & plug her into an amp but I’ll do that soon & will update anything on that later. Yes, I recommend this guitar, especially if you’re just looking for that simple guitar. I wish I could share a photo or two of it but won’t let me.
