I bought this guitar for a friend as her first guitar. Overall built quality is good, this is perfect guitar for beginner as it has a small body yet the sound is quite warm and the resonance is satisfactory. It stays in tune even after hours of playing, as long as you don't bend the strings so much. The action is quite high, so I suggest you sand about 1mm off the the bridge saddle, this will substantially improve the playability. The on board EQ also works quite well and is very sturdy, the on board tuner is accurate enough. My only concern is that the fret wire used in this guitar is quite narrow, same size as the one they usually used in ukulele, so I am a little concern about its durability. Overall this is quite a good guitar for its price.
