excellent guitar

I have owned this guitar for about 5 years now. I have done my share of guitar playing and I have to tell you this is among the best I have ever played. For the price this guitar is quite possibly the... read more [+] best you can buy. I have played Taylors and Takamine's up to $4,000 and they do not have the clear beautiful sound of this guitar. It is a confortable guitar for a full size. The wood finish means no fingerprints which to me is great. The pickup in it is very basic but it does the job. Im sure with the right people working on it you could upgrade the electronics quite easily. I have gotten many compliments on this guitar and my friend who recently bought a Taylor costing roughly twice what I paid said mine sounded and felt better. Its a great performing guitar and the studio sound is amazing. If you are looking for an amazing instrument in this price range you cannot beat this guitar. Even if you have more money to spend on a guitar buy this one and save the rest of your money, I guarantee you anyone who loves a crisp warm toned guitar will have no complaints. close [-]

Worth Every Penny

As soon as I pulled this guitar out of the box and played a few chords I was in love. The sound was rich and full and the feel was amazing. If you are playing in a band it blends nicely or as a solo... read more [+] act this guitar really pulls its weight. I used it at two live performances this weekend and was very pleased with the sound. The only reason I couldn't give it a 5 is because of the electronics. When I plugged the guitar into the system the volume knob makes a loud crackling sound when turned. the "Patch" button makes a loud popping noise when pushed in our out. Everything else about this guitar was perfect and I'm very happy with my purchase!! close [-]
