A Thing of Beauty

I love this guitar!It has a beautiful tone, it's sturdy, and it's a complete steal. Some songs just sound better on nylon strings and this guitar gave me exactly what I was looking for. I had to adjust the truss rod because of some buzzing on the first 5 frets, but that's not uncommon. And it came with an allen wrench, truss rod instructions, and a replacement bridge bone so it was a breeze to fix. The craftsmanship on mine is superb - this would be a great first guitar or nylon addition for any player.

I wanted a nylon-string guitar in my collection to replace an old cheapie that I broke, but I didn’t want to spend much money. The reviews on this guitar were impressive, so I went ahead and ordered one. The first model I received had major intonation problems on the B and E strings, and Musician’s Friend took it back without hesitation. The replacement is absolutely perfect so far as I can see. The intonation is fine, it stays in tune, and the tone is quite good for an entry-level classical ax. I’ve looked it over from top to bottom, trying to find a cosmetic flaw like the stray glue that some reviewers have referred to, but I can’t. The guitar is nice to look at and is a phenomenal value. The bottom line is that I’m extremely pleased with this instrument.

..It has a truss rod! I just received this guitar and already I am impressed by the fact it has a truss rod. The action out of the box lower than the fender and Alvarez classicals I have owned. The bridge can be filed and the neck can be adjusted for even more playability. The finish is good for this price range. For an entry range guitar or for something to haul back and forth to lessons, well worth the money!

Far better than expected

Having sold my "real" hand-made classical with the fancy pedigree, I wanted a player that I wouldn't have to sell because it was worth too much. This little guitar is actually a lot more guitar than the price would suggest. The workmanship is top notch throughout and the finish is as good as the high dollar classical that I sold. My only complaints are typical of a plywood instrument... the volume produced is low and the tone is thin. Also, the frets are a bit on the high side and aren't as smooth as the high dollar instrument I was used to. But considering that this guitar doesn't need to have a sealed case and humidifier and that I won't panic when it takes an inevitable spill from the bed to the floor, this guitar is great!

This classical guitar is an amazing guitar, especially for how cheap it is. I wouldnt even called it cheap though, inexpensive rather. Pretty much everything about it I love except the fact that it doesnt have a screw to put a strap on.
