Hi acoustic guitar players, I rated the A J 500 M at the top of crop, because this Axe has the best action fret board and neck. The sound and tone is very Sweet and the body has the perfect shape to hold when I play, I also play Martin guitars like my J C 16 gte this Epi plays right up their with that martin, Very Cool Axe for the price.

I already own the DR500ME and the EF500RA and I had to compliment them by getting the AJ500M. Great big sound is what I get. Another fine Masterbilt guitar. I put a L.R. Baggs I-Beam in it and boy, this is a sweet sounding guitar...

i love my guitar

I bought my guitar (AJ 500 M) based on the reviews I read about it on the Internet, since I live in Mexico I had to trust on what the opinion I read. I decided to take my chance and ask to a friend to order the guitar and bring it to Mexico on a trip. I am delighted with it, I played the guitar with some friends and they are impressed about the clear and loud sounds that comes from it. Definitively I bulletproof purchase.

This is the best acoustic I have ever played in this price range. I compared it with Guild, Blueridge, Takamine, Seagull, Ovation, and even a Martin, and I still like this guitar the best.

While shopping for an acoustic guitar, I wanted that gibson feel an tone;however with a college student budget. I am certain that I got the best guitar for the money out there. The tone sounds like that of a $$$$ guitar. The solidwood construction is worth it. If you are on the fence with this guitar, let me knock you off. BUY THIS GUITAR!
