Very good low budget guitar.

Anonymous 23.10.2016

This guitar is structurally well made and has a playing action better (lower) than many ¤500+ guitars I've seen. It's one let down is that there are imperfections in the body paintwork. If it was a ¤500 guitar I would request a replacement, but for ¤129 I can live with it.

The thinline body is ideal if you're a relatively small person or are more used to holding an electric guitar. The guitar sounds good unplugged without having carried out any direct comparisons. I have yet to try it amplified.

All together, an excellent choice for a first guitar or a spare guitar for a more experienced guitarist for part-time use away from home (as in my case).

Great sound,high action and paint failing

Rob9872 25.02.2025

I bought this guitar ages ago and have only got around to actually playing it lately,it sounds great and is brilliant for playing at home,I’ve never actually plugged it in.when I got it first action was high but with a bit of a set up it plays and sounds great.unfortunately,I don’t know if it was just a bad finish around the sound hole but I caught I it a pick on day and since then it’s continued to flake away.great guitar for the money but don’t see it lasting.

Excellent VFM even for Pro Use!

WilliamSats 19.02.2021

I have this guitar for about a year and i'm very happy with almost everything. The acoustic sound is perfect, I've played it with 11-52s & 12-54s and in both cases the sound was very precise and full, sweet highs and mellow lows leaves no reason to say that this is a cheap instrument.
Plugged now, on both acoustic amp and PA Fishman's preamp does a very good job but i believe the under saddle pickup could be a bit better as I know from other guitars that Presys II does an excellent job with better pickups and so maybe it's wise to invest to a better quality one if an upgrade is needed.
So for me this a perfect instrument for any case, home use, recording, live gigs etc!!!
