Echo

I’ve been playing and performing for 45 years. The guitar has become no more than a tool to me. I bought this on the hope that it would spark in me a love of playing again, and it has done that. I have it out and handy and find myself picking it up just for enjoyment’s sake. It really is amazing quality for the price.

My first guitar since a long time ago. Overall, very nice quality ! Beautiful sound ! Very pleased ! Building calluses now... ouch !

After reading tons of reviews and watching as many YouTube videos on this guitar as I could, I pulled the trigger and am so glad I did! This guitar is a true bargain at this price point with all these appointments and a sweet gig bag to boot. It came nearly perfectly set up, just needed a slight tune and I have barely put it down since. The action is set so low with almost zero string buzz (only very little on the low E when strummed hard-easily avoidable). Barre chords are much easier than on my Epiphone Hummingbird and the sound is brighter and more pleasing to my ear. The hype for this guitar is so real! The gloss finish on the body and headstock looks great and the satin neck might just be the smoothest I’ve ever played! The bindings, winglet inlays on the neck, and albalone rosette are gorgeous. The only change I would make to this fantastic instrument is cosmetic: to make the tuners all gold instead of gold/black. The grippy black tuners feel nice and are holding tune great though! Love this guitar so far and I know I will be a return customer in the coming months! (Hoping for a no electronics Mahogany top edition Echo and Brooklyn!! :D)

10/10 would recommend this guitar (and the Live acoustic/electric version based on the YouTube videos I watched) to new and advanced players alike! Very happy customer!

Well, I looked at several reviews, comparisons, and thoughts on this guitar before ordering and ended up with mixed feelings but ended up taking a chance on the 30 day return policy. I don’t think I will need it. I received a very nice looking guitar, not perfect but I can find something wrong with anything. The sound and tone of mine is once again very good. Same as my solid rosewood Martin? No. Similar? Yes. Playability? No. Very close? Yes. You get the idea. It’s not a Martin, or a Collings (I saw it compared to one) but it’s not the same price, either. Compare apples to apples (solid top, laminate back and sides, same tone woods) and it’s a winner. I found mine to not feel heavy or “thick”, (as noted in one review). It doesn’t have electronics, but doubt that makes much difference. I saw also speculation that some positive reviews may have been influenced by gifting of the product. Well, I caught mine on Labor Day Sale, but I paid for it and consider it to be worth every penny. Shipping was quick and kept me updated at every step. Can’t verify on the return policy as I’m keeping mine, not only to keep miles off my Martin but because I enjoy playing it.

A friend recommended this guitar to me (Echo), and I love it! I am a "beginner" with a music degree, and I've played a little ukulele and guitar in the past, but was always frustrated by the quality of the instrument I could afford. This guitar is easy to play, sounds great, and looks fantastic! Great job!
