1st time shopping witb Adorama

Best guitar so far for me as begjnner. I like the moon color (it"s greenish actually). The best I get this time is the customer service from Adorama when the first guitar I received was loose tune on string 6th. Be patient and rhey ship 2 days by air after receive that unwanted guitar. Good experience to shop with Adorama.

Great little guitar!

I took a chance on this guitar, was worried about the color and the smaller size. I absolutely love it! It looks great and sounds great. It holds its tune very well. Extremely surprised based on the low cost. The color is cool too, very unique and as a dude I don’t feel it’s too ‘girly’.

Amazing sound

Excellent guitar. I am intermediate and I love the sound. There is also not much tuning required for this guitar when it arrives, just the strings.

Awesome Guitar

Great guitar for beginners. My wife is absolutely in love with it, from the performance (better than her highly-Amazon-rated Jasmine) to the appearance (a fantastic finish all around). Really great product for the price.

You get what you pay for.

Beautiful looking guitar ruined by the quality of parts, or lack thereof. The strings were tightly adjusted and when tuning to the correct note, two of the six strings snapped. The electronic tuning is a bit off and doesn't consistently display the right note although the string was not adjusted since the last time it was tuned. The few strings that didn't have any problems sounded nice and warm. You get what you pay for, but it's not horrible for the price I bought it for.

Great little guitar

Very happy with this purchase. The guitar sounds very nice in this price range. Although I haven't plugged it in yet, I love the sound that comes out of this thing. I strongly recommend to a beginner or hobbyist.

An acoustic guitar fit for the gods.

The action, it was perfect. The lilac burst is such a beautifully unique colour tone, I've never seen it anywhere before. The bright and clear tone that is produced from a strum of the strings is immaculate. I am able to play from the beginning by the classic Emerson, Lake and Palmer and have it sound very pristine. I've told all of my friends and family how amazing this guitar is.

A nice piece for the Money.

I was not happy about the color online, but for the sale price, I decided that I could make it work. I got it and its a really well put together, beautiful guitar and the color is actually not feminine. On board Turner, solid construction, and it sounds above average. I am Happy.

Nice feel

This guitar really impresses me for the price. I got it on a steep sale, but it's worth $ easy. If you can wait for a sale then great, if not you still will be good at that price. Just don't make the mistake I made with my last acoustic guitar and take it back and forth between the basement and the above-ground world. Figure out where you want to play it and leave it there in a case preferably with some desiccant if needed. This one is going into my studio and staying there.

I am 49 years old and just starting out learning to play and this guitar seems to be the perfect size and quality to start off with. My son who had been playing for ears also found it to be a nice playing guitar.

Beautiful and sound good

Beautiful crafted in Indonesia, sound quality is better when you plug in Fender acoustic amp. The action is a bit high so you may need to do some modifying work. I wish it comes with the Fender hard case like other Fender guitar I ordered from Adorama.

Comfortable & Beautiful!

I very much like this guitar, it is comfortable to play and a nice size for a female guitarist. Not quite as large as some, while still being a full-size guitar. The subtle lilac moonburst coloration is very attractive without being garish or too unnatural looking. Highly recommended!

Great quality ecomomy guitar.

I have seen acoustic guitars in the $+ range that sounded no better than this. The finish is stunning, and the purple is attractive, almost seductive. It came to me 98% in tune with no set up needed. If you can get this on sale, BUY IT TODAY.
