Product Description |
| A marvel for its price, the traditional dreadnought design makes for one very playable guitar with a great, full tone. Perfect for strumming or fingerpicking any style of music, it's no wonder this guitar has been so highly rated by our customers. Features a genuine spruce top, die-cast tuning machines, 25-1/2" scale nato neck, and bound rosewood fretboard. It's easy to tune and stays that way. Rich, resonant sound and excellent projection and intonation make this a first guitar to be proud of. It's also great for camping or as a second guitar. Each guitar ships with genuine Martin strings for a quality sound right out of the box. |

I saw this guitar on sale and ordered it on a whim, thinking that if it were no good I could use it for a canoe paddle or give to the kids to play with. I have played bass recreationally for about 17 years, and occasionally strummed a guitar here and there. I currently own a classical guitar I've had for 10 years, and sold my steel-string guitars several years ago. I wanted this to replace the steel stringed ones, and to take camping, when I didn't want to take the fairly nice classical guitar and risk its damage. When I opened the box, I was astounded to find a guitar with a very fine black finish, action almost perfect, and actually nearly in tune. It looks great and sounds very good. The sealed tuners are very smooth and have kept the guitar in tune thusfar. The only flaws I could see were a small bit of glue where the fretboard met the top, just at the sound hole, and a very slight overlap of some of the binding glue onto the body, maybe 0.2mm x 1mm, only noticable when looking for it. Soundwise, it sounds very good, especially considering the cost. It sounds especially good with a pick. The treble side of the guitar is bright and clear. The bass side of it is a little thin, and the low 'E' is fairly dull when fingerpicking. I am hoping that changing the stock strings might help it a little. It's passable, just not great. The frets are very good, and smooth. The ends are nicely rounded. I had expected to need to polish the frets, but at this point will leave them as-is. To sum it up, I think this guitar is a complete steal for the price if you are a beginner looking to start, or if you want a spare guitar to keep at the lakehouse or to take camping. It plays very good and looks even better. Like I said, I had intended to take this one camping, but it's almost too nice for that.
UPDATE: after 2 years I sold the guitar to a friend and bought the fancier and a bit more expensive Rogue Honduran mahogany dreadnought, when it went on sale. The original guitar is still holding up great and my friend is very pleased with it. I've been extremely pleased with the new Rogue. I recently convinced my aunt to buy one for her son-in-law. She got the black one, and they are extremely happy with it. I have recommended them to many people, and still feel that it's an unbeatable bargain. Another friend of mine who is a volleyball coach has bought several of them to sell at fundraising auctions to raise money for his team. I have played mine in 2 weddings (the black one, before obtaining the mahogany one), and it worked great. In fact, I may buy another black one. One thing that I did notice about the mahogany guitar is that the sound is more mellow, which is to be expected. I play with fingers mostly, and the black guitar's brighter sound was more suited for that, so the mahogany guitar, aside from being very pretty, is slightly less suited to my playing style. I still love it, though. I'm actually playing the original strings which are now 2 or 3 years old, and I feel sure that when I finally get around to changing them out it'll make a big difference. I work from a home office, and the guitar is hanging on my wall by my desk. I pick it up and play it almost every day.

| I've been playing the violin for 20-plus years and the guitar for at least 10 years, so I guess you could say I'm a fairly accomplished musician. As a musician, I have to say that this guitar is worth much more than its asking price. It looks great and sounds even better, especially considering that it costs so little to buy! I've owned several guitars and this one sounds just as good as any of the other popular brands. It's easy to tune and hold its tune just right. The proportions are nice, too, and fits nicely with my small hands. I'd recommend this to anyone, especially anyone looking to learn and practice. The black color looks great, too. By the way, I ordered this guitar on June 5th and it arrived to me on June 8th -- talk about fast! |
