This guitar exceeded my expectations by far. Bought it because I needed a guitar to just toss in the car, drag to the beach and whatever based on the price. I have many expansive guitars so I expected practically nothing from this one based on the price. But I am almost in shock, when I investigated the guitar I found practically no blemishes, no sharp fret ends, no glue smell, no.. nothing.. The guitar is beautiful, it sounds a bit boxy compared to the (very expensive) dreadnaught I usually play, but that is probably much due to the concert shape being a bit smaller. And it sounds perfectly fine, quite nice actually. The neck feels great, with a satin finish that feels nice to the touch and doesnt hinder playing, more similar to an electric than an acoustic almost. I am really, really pleasantly surprised at the quality
