It produces nice high overtones and has a pretty good bass range as well. It has great action. Very playable
I really wanted to buy one of these. The first one I looked at had string buzzes beyond the 12th fret. So did the second, third, fourth and fifth one I looked at!
I did not find a single one of these guitars without a major factory defect. One salesman tried to tell me that the string buzzing was normal. It is not! I could not believe such poor quality in a new instrument.
Looks great, plays great, but everyone I tried has major string buzz past the 12th fret. And, what's worse, this lack of quality is consistent--its not just one or two bad apples. The whole barrel is bad.
