Rated 4.5/5

Just what I needed

This item is a replacement for my old and very tired Classical Guitar I bought in 1976 as my Travel Guitar. While my new Taka will not travel the world as my old one did. I see many years ahead for it. Finish is Great and sound is very good for the strings provided. I will be doing a little tune up and replace string asap. Only one Bummer, No Strap Buttons.
