I received this guitar very well packaged. It looked exactly how I expected, could not find a flaw with the finish or craftsmanship. Unfortunately it had a buzz right out of the box, which is no big deal just needed to adjust the trust rod. After that it played very nicely, the frets are smooth, and the strings (as advertised) were very easy and light to play; however, because the strings are so light, they don't really resonate especially on the small body of the guitar. This problem goes away when plugged in, but I mostly play unplugged. The tuners do not feel smooth when turning. I own the Taylor GS mini and wanted something the same size, but was disappointed with the acoustic sound of the guitar, and the tuners, especially for the money. I would recommend the less expensive small body guitars that orangewood sells like the Oliver Jr over this. For the price I don't see the crazy value that was advertised, but it is still a very nicely finished guitar that I can play for a long time without issues. I am probably going to switch out the strings for some thicker strings like my GS mini to see if that solves the sound issue.
