Nice guitar for the money.

I recently purchased this guitar and I am very pleased with it so far. It is an attractive unit and it is quite light. It has a pretty good tone for it's price. The finger board is adequate for my short fingers and it holds tune pretty good. Sounds good with a Keyser Kapo on it too. Strums nicely and fits me very well with a strap on it. Overall, a good return on your investment. Great for beginners. I think it will provide me with a pleasurable experience for a few years until I master it and decide to move up to a higher level of guitar.

  • after 20 years i'm going to buy a backup

    byAustin S.

    fromDallas, Texas

    my dad got me one of these over 20 years ago when i was still a boy and i've been playing it ever since. maybe the quality has dipped since then, but now, shopping for a guitar with my wife, i'm blown away that dad only dropped around 100 bones when he KNEW i was serious about playing guitar. maybe he took it to a shop to have it properly set up, though, because it's always had great action and all comers have agreed that it is the most comfortable guitar to play out of our bunch of cheapo acoustics (seagull, yamaha, etc). i broke the nut in the first year after dropping the guitar and had it replaced with bone. other than that the only maintainence i've taken it in for is having the frets refreshed when they wore down. i love this guitar and while i think it's time to spend a little money on something else, i'm going to seek out another one from around the turn of the century to have a backup of mine as well.

    It's been great to pick up the guitar after 20 years off. It's fun to play and is easy to tune and play when you are ready.

    what is nato wood?

    Open Reply - Thomas
    Nato wood is a collective name for wood from Mora trees (the best-known species are Mora excelsa (Mora) and Mora gonggrijpii (Morabukea). This should not be confused with Nyatoh (an Asian hardwood from the family Sapotaceae with a very similar look and characteristic to Honduras Mahogany, though totally unrelated). Mora may vary in appearance, with reddish brown being the dominant color, but with varying shades and often with darker or lighter streaks. It has a similar appearance to mahogany, and as such it is often referred to as "eastern mahogany". Despite this, the two are unrelated. The heartwood is light to medium reddish brown. Wide pale yellow-brown sapwood is clearly demarcated from heartwood. It has a straight to interlocked grain, with a medium to coarse texture and good natural luster.[1] The wood is dense and it is not particularly easy to dry or to work, although it finishes well. Mora wood species are not listed in the citeS Appendices[2] or on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.[3] Because of its similar properties to more traditional tone woods like mahogany,[4] many guitar manufacturers use nato in their construction. Squier, Epiphone,[5] Gretsch, BC Rich,[6] Eastwood [7] and Japan-based manufacturers Yamaha,[8] Hondo (guitar company) and Takamine[9] are amongst them.

    Would this size work as a surprise for an 8 year old boy?

    Yes, this will work. You may also want to look into half size models if it is for a child
