I will probably use this instrument for about a year before I decide if I want a higher quality classical guitar. I will definitely put new strings on it soon. When looking for another classical guitar I will be looking for better materials (solid wood body, nicer fretboard). If this guitar were lost or stolen, I would definitely replace it.

Sound
For a $50 guitar, it sounds good. The bass notes are warm and strong, the treble is a little weak (but that could be my playing ability - I've only played steel string acoustics before). It has a warmer sound than I expected.

Features
The guitar seems solid. It does not feel fragile to me. Low quality materials were used, but it's a $50 guitar. The fretboard is painted (so not sure what kind of wood was used), but it is functional (and that's what really matters). The body is made of laminate wood. The tuners seem strong, and work well.

Ease of Use
It plays great, right out of the box, I tuned it up and played it. The action is actually pretty good.

Quality
Again...considering the price of this guitar, it is remarkably nice. It looks good, it sounds pretty good, it plays well - its a real functional guitar. Not for putting on a concert maybe, but for learning, playing for friends and family, carrying around or travel - it's great!

Value
Great instrument for a tight budget...I… read more highly recommend it.

The Wow Factor
Who doesn't want another guitar? I have an electric, a steel string acoustic, but wanted a classical guitar also. Now I have one and I am very happy with it.
