  • As good or better than a Taylor !

    I've owned 2 of these and quite honestly I like them better than a high end Taylor. These guitars are solid and they play and sound very good where as the Taylor's felt like a light weight cheap peace of junk. That's just my opinion but I've been playing for 40 years and at this point I know what works out there on stage. These guitars never let me down ! The only improvement I did was change the tuners, and that made a huge difference in the overall guitar. Cheap,easy fix !

  • I borrowed a friend's and had to get one.

    I was told by a highly respected musician once that a guitar was a tool. I have always loved guitars and have been playing now professionally for over 16 years. When I got this Gj72ce I was pretty disappointed with sound an play ability, but just like any tool you have to spend some time developing the skill making adjustments until you get it right. It has taken some time but I have found this to be a very effective tool.

  • Looks and sounds beautiful!

    Can't put it down. Beautiful sound. Crisp clear notes from a jumbo maple body. Looked a long time to find this sound.

    This guitar would be compatible with almost any amp. It is mainly a matter of personal preference. I would recommend trying out several different amplifiers to see which one you like the best.
