This is a great guitar to have sitting next to you on the couch or the porch or anywhere! It just cries out to be played, and the mellow tone is the perfect thing when you just want to work out some ideas, but you don’t necessarily want everyone you live with to have to adjust what they’re doing to accommodate your playing. For the price, I found the build quality, overall setup, playability right out of the box, packaging and speedy delivery to be top notch. Actually, even better than I expected. The satin finish isn’t usually something I’d choose, but here it works really well, and it’s so comfortable and smooth that, again, you just want to play it. Also, when you plug this guitar in, it opens up a whole new world of opportunities for overdriven tones and recording options to enhance or double other acoustics.
From my experience, I would recommend this, and I think the price point is spot on given what’s out there in the affordable parlor guitar market.
