    I have owned just bout every acoustic guitar made. Gibson, Martin, Taylor, Larrivee, Lowden, Breedlove, Takamine, Yamaha, Eastman. Over the last 3 years I have bought and sold over 300 guitars. This made in Indonesia model is just great for the money. It sound as good as a US Hummingbird or Dove costing 3 or 4 times as much. Smooth playable neck, nice binding all around, beautiful sunburst finish. The maple just rings out and sings with a wonderful tone. Of all the ones I have bought, here are the ones I keep and play: This Frontier, Yamaha FG5, Martin D-1 and DC-1, Martin D-35, Gibson WM-45, Gibson Hummingbird Pro, and Larrivee L09. So that tells you the company it is in.
