Rey Mahogany

Rey Mahogany

Out of the box, this guitar was barely playable. There were no structural issues, it just needed a major set up. I suppose that is to be expected at this price range. I had to not only level and recrown the frets but sand down both the nut and especially the saddle. I literally took off over half of the saddle. Now it's great! Now it plays like a $500 Martin or even better and it sounds great, as you would expect from a purely mahogany acoustic. To anyone not afraid to put in a little elbow grease, I would definitely recommend this guitar.

Not just for the money, its just a nice guitar! So my packaging had a few issues, it looked like it had gotten hung up on a fork lift tyne and dragged across the floor, I was nervous about opening it. But it was very well packed, not even a blemish. Everything I ordered was there, the guitar itself coming from California to South Alabama, undoubtedly passed through abrupt temperature and humidity changes, yet it was almost in tune out of the box. So much so, that I could tell that it had been tuned properly, and the QC person rolled the heads back about a half, or maybe 3 quarters of a turn just to relieve stress from the rod and neck. The E. Ball strings are pretty nice, feels like standard Bronze Phosphorus strings. I wiped them down with a clean cloth, and no dust or anything whatsoever came from them. I had no loose bindings, no sharp fret wires hanging over, and the ride height is perfect. Its almost unbelievable to get such a nice guitar for what I paid. The gig bag is certainly not the worst one I've ever seen, its padded nicely and has the backpack straps which I like. I hope that you guys never change your core business model, of offering the add-on accessory pack separately, which in my open leaves more room for nicer details like good strings, and real bone. And also allows you to offer slightly higher quality accessories. Very nicely done. I understand that now that you're up and running good, I hope that you still offer a guitar like the Rey at that low price point, for those who may be like I was growing up, and just couldn't afford a decent guitar. They always sounded like crap, couldn't tune them...and for a couple decades I just gave up. I'm back into it again, thanks to this guitar, I'm going to be upgrading soon, but I will probably always hang on to this one...I like it that much. Thanks guys, no complaints from me...God Bless you all, - Jeff Andrews, Mobile AL.

This is a beautiful looking and sounding guitar.
