I bought this guitar as a begginer. I was very excited about getting one and didn't do my research on good guitar names. This guitar is extremely bad all the way around. When I got it you could tell that it had been just painted and they did a horrible job. The panit was smeared and still wet. And as far as sound, dont even go there. The strings have poor quality, and buz with almost every note you play. It sounds horrible when you do chords as well. So over all this is even horrible for begginers let alone people who are interested in playing for a lone time.
