A decent guitar

RistoK 17.10.2017

I bought this just to have it around for when I want to try some new harmonies or melodies without the need to plug in my electrics or just noodle around quietly or try something classical. Or if maybe my daughters grow up and want to try the guitar without the hurdle of steel strings.
The quality is excellent, I couldn't find any manufacturing flaws. It also looks nice (much better than the pictures give it credit) with the all-matte finish on the light spruce body.
Soundwise, it has all the bass you might need, but the upper registry is a bit dry. This would by my main critcism for the whole guitar.
It stays in tune nicely and the action is okay, no fret buzz. The action is a bit high on the higher frets, but since the neck is not adjustable, you wouldn't want it to be too low anyway.
The most important point with this guitar - it costs next to nothing, or certainly less than any other classical guitar. You couldn't get a guitar with this level of quality with this price-tag ten years ago.

Great sound for the price

James morgan 23.09.2023

As a beginner guitarist, i always wanted to get a guitar with good quality for money. if you`re a beginner, i highly recommend this guitar. It has great vibrant sound especially when fingerpicking and strumming. low notes sound awesome and high notes keep vibrating for a long amount of time, something which cheap guitars tend to not often do. Great value for money and keeps you trying to learn new songs and melodies due to how good it sounds. It does, however, as with all guitars of course, require some maintenance on their tuning keys and strings. i use it daily and only had to maintain it once. Have had it since 2020, and has been a great investment.

For the price its amazing

If you are wanting a classical guitar that won't break the banks but still sounds great, feels great and has great tuning stability, you need this classical guitar. I've owned for a while now and have only just needed to change strings it doesn't sound boxy or anything its got a great range in terms of clarity and definition. So go buy one.
