I got this about 3 or 4 years ago. I think it has a nice sound, though recently it won't stay in tune. I don't ever use it for it's electric element because I lost the battery cover on it's butt (I don't remember it sounding very good though). It's a shame it won't stay in tune anymore.. I actually liked it. But truth be told, it was great for learning on, and 3 or 4 years after you get it you're probably good enough to upgrade anywho.

Horrible guitar for the long haul
Posted by Troy from Kansas on Nov 23, 2009
Experience w/product: I have used it
Reviewer's Background: Gigging musician
Reviewer's Play Style: Folk
I was short an acoustic guitar for about a year, and since I'm a gigging musician, a friend loaned me his blue Dean Performer. I can without a doubt say that it was the worst guitar I've ever played. I've owned Fender, Epiphone, Martin, and Takamine guitars and they are all leaps and bounds above these. Also, don't get too used to the pretty blue finish - By the time I gave it back to my friend it had turned into some awful sea-foam green kind of color. If it's some kid's first guitar you'd be MUCH better off with a cheap Fender. If it's not going to a BEGINNER, stay away from it!

So yeah, i read all these peoples comments on, don't get this guitar, get a Taylor or Martin. Well if people had the money for it, they would. I'm a FIRM believer in this guitar. I have had it going on 4 years now. Yes it goes out of tune easily, but that's about it. This playability and the sound quality for something so cheap is SOOOO worth it. I'm a VERY active musician, I'm a worship leader. My nest guitar is going to be the Breedlove Pro Series C25/CR Herringbone Acoustic-Electric. BIG jump up from this guitar, BUT you get what you pay for. And for this price, I honestly don't think you can beat it.

well its an ok guitar not really that good because the guitar's tuners lose tune every couple of days or less then it pops my guitar string in a couple of weeks I should have gotten an Epiphone or Gibson or something better than this although everything is ok but not worth it
