Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

i'll be 50 yrs old in a few days. i started playing guitar at 8. this is my 30th guitar. i started ordering various guitars from amazon a year and a half ago and have not been displeased at all with any of my orders. i get some for young people who cannot afford to get one for themselves and so have started exploring the guitars in the price range of 80 to 140 dollars. at first glance, it would seem pretty much impossible for any guitars in this price range to be of any worth, but the factories are set up to put out fine instruments now in this price range. i can't recommend this guitar highly enough to convince you what i think of it but i am astounded at the quality, playability and sound of this guitar. it has really good tuners and rings out like a bell without sounding at all shallow. the action is light enough, right out of the box that it easy to play bar chords and any suspended chords ring out and sustain well. i had 2 guitars similar to this, an ibanez and an alvarez. one was 600 dollars and the other 300 dollars but they were no better than this. if you go into a guitar shop and pick up any steel string guitar for under 300 dollars you will see the same displeasing features. mainly, they play hard, they sound shallow and do not attract an owner. this guitar is different. and it has a pickup in it. in a guitar shop, you would be hard pressed to find a guitar like this for under 300 dollars, guaranteed. just try it. you can always send it back if you don't agree and then post a comment that i am a liar.
