"HIPPIE GUITAR THAT IS FUN TO PLAY! It sounds great, has an excellent neck and looks "killer". The headstock is inlayed with GR"

This guitar is the CAMPFIRE SERIES meaning that it is meant to be taken outdoors. Also, I bought a "gig bag" so I could throw it over my shoulder and take it to the beach, park, etc. Because of the reasonable price, I wouldn't be too concerned if someone stole it or damaged the guitar.
Sound
SWEET! I had never heard a guitar made with sapele wood, but I was pleasantly surprised. Richer than mahogany, but different from rosewood. I really like it a lot!
Features
It comes with an Alan Wrench to adjust the neck and a good booklet.
Ease of Use
The neck is excellent and very comfortable to play. I changed the strings to extra light gauge, but I got "fret buzzing" on the top string. The manual warned that this could happen, so I went to "light gauge". This cleared up the problem immediately and I got a better, richer tone.
Quality
I noticed that the finish on the neck did not match well the finish on the body. Also, it looked like there was a tiny bit of sawdust on the headstock that was finished over. However, the sapele wood looks "killer" and I love the appearance of this guitar.
Value
Excellent! I compared quite a few guitars and I found the price to be extremely competitive.
Manufacturer Support
No problems and I did not contact the manufacturer.
The Wow Factor
Very straight forward looking guitar. They give you the pickguard separately. I chose to put it on. Also, I added a Warhol hippie peace sign sticker (since this is a "hippie" guitar) and a British flag sticker.
