The sound is great for the money, liked the neck and finish, but after tuning drop C to E standard up and down the nut gets filed down by the strings. I also got some buzz from the bridge screws. The tuners are stable but a bit tight. If you have a thick strap and want to put locks on it you will have a rough time due to the screw space being short. I use it for rehersal and bedroom recording it did the job. Overall if you are looking for an entry level piece it will certainly stand out with the shiny gold colored hardware and sound.
