This guitar was my first acoustic guitar. I bought at my local music shop in Eastchester, NY. It stays in tune wonderfully and I have never had any problems with it, although it is hard to reach some of the high frets, there are 19 in total.

Pros: Cheap, sounds good, nice fat neck, gloss finish, usable fret work.
Cons: Cheap, hard to turn tuners, no truss rod, intonation's a tad off, has a weird smell for a few weeks.

Rated 4 stars for the price, playability/usability to sound ratio:

5 for price
4 for sound
3 1/2 for playability/usability

Nice little beater guitar, good starter - buy it!

The guitar felt like it could be solid enough when it arrived, but I ordered one and the fret board was detaching from the neck of the guitar. It is possible this happened during shipping but based on the crack it did not seem so at all. I then tried to order it a second time, lured by the low price and lo and behold, there was a crack, the fret board detaching from the neck again. Avoid this guitar. Pay the extra 50 and go for a brand like Yamaha so you know the guitar will at least come playable, even if it doesn't last.

I found this guitar covered in dust and without strings in Afghanistan. Strung it with nylon strings. Fretboard has a slight bulg up at 13th to 17th frets. This causes all strings to fizzle against the those frets when attempting to play above the 6th fret. Sorta limits ya on what can be played lol. This guitar has no truss rod which is the cause of the warp. If you are considering this guitar, you are not wanting spend much money. I highly recommend spending another 50 bucks for a guitar with a truss rod.

It is what it is. Cheapest guitar I could find, and rightly so. Came with three plastic (nylon?) strings and 3 steel. It is my first guitar, so I'm just going by what the description of the guitar is on Amazon, which doesn't state this. Neck is chipped and painted over in parts. Otherwise a fine buy for a first guitar.
