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).

Excellent VFM even for Pro Use!

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!!!

Excellent budget guitar

Very positively surprised with this guitar. It sounds quite good, nice resonance, sweet highs. Intonation up and down the neck is good. No sharp fret edges. Nice black finish, looks great. No bowing or rippling, decently steady tuners.
