I started playing with a cheap high action Palmer guitar that had plastic bridge and nuts. Since then i have gotten an electric and 12 string both are outstanding values.Now i didn't get this guitar here I got it from a local shop during a holiday sale. It came with the gig bag not a hardshell case. What you get with this guitar is a TOP QUALITY finish. in caps for a reason. Action on these are pretty low I checked 10 or 12 of them in the shop to see them all first seemed to vary little. I changed the strings right away to ernie ball earthwood bronze which i love. The sound is incredible. I started working double so this beauty sat in the bag for 6 months. Took it out couple of days ago. STILL PERFECTLY IN TUNE. Sounds like a 1000 dollar guitar. Dean quality is awesome.

I have owned this guitar for 6 months and I still love playing it every day. I am very aware that it does not compare to an original Gibson guitar but look at the price! I put a set of Guild lightweight strings on this guitar and it sounds amazing. The neck is smooth and the fretboard is amazing.

What a great guitar. I had friends seriously doubting my sanity buying a guitar over the internet, but today I brought the guitar to work and they were awed. They kept asking "how much did you pay for this?" and looked suprised. I ordered the AK48 in red, the pictures don't do it justice. The whole guitar is a lovely translucent red (including back of neck and head stock). Came out of tune (does anyone expect a guitar to be mailed in tune?) but was already set up very nice. Nice action. I bought this guitar for bringing places I cant plug in (and don't want to bring my expensive electrics) but this guitar looks so good it might have to stay home!
