i didnt buy i stole it from a crack head

 
 
  Features  
 
its good for a begginer guitar but its pretty cheap made
 
 
 
  Playability  
 
i can play alot of good sounding stuff on this guitar like in flames and what not
 
 
 
  Quality  
 
it has a standerd cheapo guitar sound i wouldnt spend more than 50 on it youll have to losen the truss rod a little bit and it wont buzz any more the body seems well built but i dont know about the neck other than that it seems ok
 
 
 
  Durability  
 
it seems ok no live gigs cause no plug in. it holds together ok though
 
 
 
  Overall  
 
this guitar is perfect for right now the only reason i would get a different guitar would be to get a 12 string
its a kick ass begginer and its cheap to buy or you could yoink one from a crack head like idid

i got this guitar in san leandro, ca at Music Unlimited. i got it fot 200 bux. i was looking for a good acoustic beginner guitar, cause i was tired of playing my dadz classical, not that classical guitars are bad, but i jus needed my own guitar.

 
 
  Features  
 
a good thing about this guitar is that its got some good sound, fer a pretty cheap guitar that is, itz good for beginners (or else i wudnt have got it). a bad thing about it is that around the bottom end of the neck, the paint is a little crappy looking, other than that itz ok. nothing very special about it.
 
 
 
  Playability  
 
with this one, u can usually get wut you want out of it. i say usually because itnulls a pretty cheap guitar, good-but cheap. its apparently not as good as others, but yea
 
 
 
  Quality  
 
ok the thing with this other is u need to sort of adjust it. before even playing, be sure that the little knob things are tightly screwed on. use a screwdriver or something. that way, it doesnt make a vibrating sound. once thats done, it sounds pretty good
 
 
 
  Durability  
 
this onenulls pretty reliable, durable, how ever u wanna say it. i dont really think u need to adjust it much, i just adjust it wen i wanna play a different song. itz not too good fer gigs either. unulld hafta have a pretty silent crowd, cuz therez no plug in fer this one.
 
 
 
  Overall  
 
my opinion is on this one is that its great for beginners, goes up to my expectiations fer a cheap guitar, inullll probably get a better wen i get a lot better, but for now this is just fine.

i bought it from a catalogue shop and it was around £80

 
 
  Features  
 
well im a beginner and for me its a great guitar to begin with. i dont think a more advanced player should use it because they obviously want more from a guitar. i taught myself and this guitar made it quick and easy for me. i think it has a good sound and if u play it right it sounds really good.
 
 
 
  Playability  
 
i have had no problems with this guitar, it sounds good, i cn play well on it, im very happy with it
 
 
 
  Quality  
 
this guitar sounds very good but when strummed very hard it cn make a vibrations sound, which is kinda annoying but this is sony wen strummed very hard
 
 
 
  Durability  
 
i have only ever tuned my guitar 2 times, and once was because i had to tune it to play a new song i had to learn. i wouldnt say u could use it for live gigs unless u r a very good player.
 
 
 
  Overall  
 
well im a beginner like i said before and this guitar was perfect for me. i didnt want to spend a lot of money on a guitar before i knew if i wanted to continue with it so i bought this farely cheap one, but very pleased with it. as i get into the more intemediate stages i wont stick with this guitar, but its a perfect starter to playing and is very entertaining! hope this helped

I bought this guitar about a year ago on Ebay. I know I should have went to an actual store and tested them out untill I found one that I liked, but it was my first guitar and I didnnullt have much money. I paid $100 for it and I got what I paid for.

 
 
  Features  
 
Just by looking at it, you can tell right away that it was cheaply made. It has a plastic laminated top and the color of the back and sides is supposed to be black, but in the right light, itnulls kind of a faded dark brown. It doesnnullt sound too bad if you play it gently, but if you try to rock with it, it sounds like shit. The pegs suck, they donnullt hold the strings well, so Inullm constantly tuning it. It holds the lower strings better. The pieces used to hold the bottom of the strings in the body are made of cheap plastic and you really have to push them in hard to get them to stay when you change strings. Although It is quiet loud, compared to some of the higher end guitars Inullve played.
 
 
 
  Playability  
 
The action is just right for me, but you might want something with higher action if younullre gonna play it hard. Because if you do play it hard, the E string buzzes. Itnulls not a guitar you should use if you want to sound good, its a good practice guitar.
 
 
 
  Quality  
 
not good sound quality. It is a low end guitar so if you want a good sound, younullre gonna have to spend a little more money. And like I said, it does buzz if you play it hard.
 
 
 
  Durability  
 
Inullve only had it for a year, and it is already starting to come apart at the top of the body where the back is connected. The peg for the high E string is loose and starting to wobble. I would not recommed this for live gigs,it doesnnullt have any plug-innulls and itnulls not worth putting one in. Its not made for gigs, but it is fine for a begginer guitar to just play at home.
 
 
 
  Overall  
 
Definitly not a lot of effort went into making this guitar. Itnulls not anything anyone with any experience should get, but it does make a good first guitar for adults.
