I'm not entirely sure what I was expecting from an acoustic guitar at this price point, but frankly I'm far from disappointed. Construction is solid, if a little stark, and even with the stock strings it sounded good. It stays in tune surprisingly well, and the tuners do not grind or stick. Action is a little high, but far from unplayable, and for the money very acceptable. Clearly this is a budget instrument, but I would certainly recommend it to anyone looking for a cheap guitar to mess around with. Moreover, a quick string change was carried out with no problems and definitely helped improve the sound.
