Review: I Absolutely LOVE this Guitar!!! - I've been using and learning on a guitar that is nearly 40 years old!! Obviously this guitar is a breath of fresh air! I absolutely love it! Myself taught myself to play the guitar although I'm not very good I do enjoy playing! The sound is absolutely amazing! The seller did an absolutely great job of packaging and shipping this to me in an extremely timely manner!!
Review: Great guitar for not that much money - I bought this guitar because I learned Stairway to Heaven, and wanted an acoustic/electric guitar I could play it on, including the solo. Most cutaway acoustics don't let you reach high enough frets to play the highest notes of the solo, but this one does. So that's why I bought it, but it turned out to be a great sounding guitar. The neck is thicker than on some others, so if that's a problem for you, now you know. But it's not for me, and it feels and sounds great. If you want to play solos such as Stairway, Hotel CA, etc., you need some light enough strings that still sound good. I recommend Zager.
