I bought this guitar upon researching other buyers comments. I am a beginner , I already own an Ovation guitar, and I wanted something lighter as well as smaller to tote around. The sound is surprisingly good, every guitarist who picks it up, says the same thing, they all like it and think it sounds good. It has a mandolin sound to it. I would recommend this guitar to anyone who wants it for what it is; light, easy to play, small, inexpensive and very portable. (too bad it is made in China ...I HATE THAT)
