Great sound, stays in tune and is a perfect guitar for learning classical technique on. One day I will get some plek work done as the frets are rough around the edges.

I've played steel string guitars for 55 years and decided I wanted to learn more jazz and samba styles.
So I bought this. I couldn't be happier. The tone and ease of play surprised me.
Sweetwater set it up with great strings and string to fretboard depth was perfect. No Buzzing.
It's helped me learn a lot.
Thanks

I bought this guitar because I am taking classical guitar lessons. As a player, I have a long way to go. After about six months of use, this guitar has held up well. The sound is excellent for the price point. It's generally free of extraneous noises and weird overtones that I've heard from really cheap guitars. There are no manufacturing defects that I can find (as mentioned in another review).

I'd also give a solid recommendation for the included Saverez strings. They have a much nice tone that the d'addario's I've been using on my other classical guitar.

This is not a beginners guitar. This is a high quality instrument,fit and finish is excellent. Stays in tune has great sound for the money. If you are looking for an easy playing fine sounding low cost classical guitar this is it.! I highly recommend this axe. Sweetwater is great to deal with and they sell great guitars for great prices! The gig bag is a little cheap but it does protect and fit this guitar well. That is my only qualm I have with this guitar!

Beautifully made guitar with an even tonal response and good volume through the entire range. Smaller travel size makes it easy to carry and gig bag is well made and heavier duty than I was expecting.
