Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I had just finished reading the book "Clapton's Guitar" so you may understand why I was blown away by an all-solid wood 000/OM acoustic guitar for next to nothing.
Thinking I would tell my wife it was for "market survey" all the while I was secretly drooling over what might arrive. (I'm in the building end).
Back and sides were a beautiful straight-grained Indian Rosewood.
The top is maybe an "A" grade Engelmann top and is punchy like Adirondac Spruce.
The inside bracing and kerfing are clean and sans glue squeeze out.
The backstrip, inside the box, is a very tight-grained Spruce and looks perfect.
Bridge is cleanly done.
The mahogany neck feels slightly boaty with a "V" shape but still very playable.
String spacing is generous and it's easy to hit all the notes.
The neck is stained dark and has a volute,
both Martin style. No buzzing but after the action is lowered it will need a neck adjustment or vice versa.
Peghead Inlay looks CNC'd and is perfectly done.
The finish is gloss and is very well done and polished without the usual wavy lines prevalent in cheap and poorly done high-end guitars.
The Tuners remind me of small Waverly's.. But!
Frets are cleanly done but could use a polish.
The action is too high and the saddle should be replaced with a
Martin Saddle seated flat into the bridge slot and intonated.
The nut seemed fine.
All in all, setup aside, this guitar is awesome with beautiful Tone!
and plenty of 000 vibe!
I was able to coax some very sweet notes from this guitar!
Even with the stock strings.
Now for the bad part: I should of bought two!
All this for "Market Survey"!
Someone has to do it!
