I mostly play electric guitar, and decided to get an inexpensive parlor acoustic as a 'beater' guitar, to take with me to friends' homes, camping, the lake...
This is a handsome and well-made guitar. The neck specs- scale 24.75", nut width 43mm and radius 12"- are very similar to Gibson/ Epiphone electrics, so it is very comfortable for me. The smaller body size is easy to handle. The tuners are good quality, turn smoothly and hold well. The sound quality is good for this price range, and can be easily improved by changing the nut, saddle and bridge pins for bone or Tusq. The unfinished walnut fretboard and bridge are nice looking. The frets are well done with comfortable rolled edges and no high spots. The action is pretty low for an acoustic, and the setup is spot on. Having both strap buttons on the body positions the guitar like an electric, which I prefer. The paint is well done with no flaws, and I really dig Fender's sunburst.
Overall, this is exactly the guitar I was looking for, and I am happy with this purchase. I also purchased the Thomann Classic-Guitar Gigbag, which fits and protects it well.
While I recommend this guitar for beginners or experienced guitarists looking for a take-along, Harley Benton and Gretsch both offer similar parlor guitars in this price range that are worth considering as well.
