Frequently Asked Questions
The solid spruce top gives it a bit more projection and clarity than many guitars using laminate tops throughout, though it still lacks the depth of more expensive models.
The finish is fairly durable, but it's a fingerprint magnet and will require regular cleaning to keep it looking its best.
The build quality is acceptable for the price, with decent fretwork and overall stability, but don't expect the meticulous attention to detail found on higher-end instruments.
