I decided to try this guitar. I have some very nice guitars, so it would be unfair to compare this model to them.
Out of the box, the guitar was acceptable, but would've still needed a proper setup.
The sound wasn't bad, though there seemed to be a slight unpleasant metallic undertone with it.
It can get pretty loud.
For a beginner, properly set up, this would be fine, or as a campfire guitar.
It's an 'ok' guitar. For the money. I have returned it, and am saving my pennies for a better instrument.
YMMV
