Not the best product. I've owned this guitar for a year it buzzes all the time. The sound of the guitar is low quality. But what can u expect for a cheap guitar?

I've owned this Guitar for about a year now. The Guitar stays in Tune pretty well. Keep an eye on it because when it goes out of Tune it goes out. Has a nice sound, but not full as a Dreadnought. But the size is good! Its Very Comfortable to play! Its good for the Price!

I've had this guitar lying around for a few years now, I've been plinking on it now and then, and recently have really been playing it a lot while my strat and RG are out of commission (strat is in for a full setup, RG is getting a new bridge). It has a very clear sound, a bit heavy in the low mids, but very nice. The feel is neat, the action is spot on, and individual notes stand out nicely. Overall, a great guitar for the price. I recommend for everyone. (try playing some Kansas on it, sounds fantastic)

So I bought this guitar about a month ago to take on tour as a beat around the town or after party shows. This guitar is quite amazing. I have played it everday since Ive bought it. In fact the only time I use my way more exspensive guitar is on stage. The tone is fantastic for only being $200, and the fact you get a pretty durable hardcase with that price is amazing enough! I recommend this guitar for anyone. This is one of those guitars that are meant for a beginner but sounds good enough for a pro.

My only flaw is the action is a bit high, but the local guitar shop I bought it from said the bridge could easily be shaved down and the truss rod turned. So that's an easy fix which will make this guitar flawless!!!

I've had this guitar for a year and a half now, and I still use it and love it. With the case, it's a really good deal: Nice mellow tone, pretty warm with some better strings on it. I use light strings, and I'm pleased with the ease of play and tone and volume. The action is fair, you can monkey around pretty fast on it, but I guess its not really meant for that. I wish it had a pickup in it. I am definitely considering Alvarez for my next acoustic (I want to upgrade soon) because I am very pleased with it. Great axe!
