Rubbish!
xhoneybear 18.10.2025
I had high hopes for this guitar. It looked really good on paper. In reality, I couldn't be more disappointed...

The sound is okay. About what you'd expect from a thin classical. After adjusting myself the sound of the nylon strings is fresh and calming.

The finish is... well, to each their own. I expected something else. The fretboard is pretty though.

Now to the bad things.
The bridge buzzes on open B.
The guitar itself is so malleable that placing a headstock tuner leaves a dent in it.
String action is very high and yet there's still plenty of fret buzz.
Tuning the guitar is a challenge, it crackles when doing so and it goes out of tune when you don't even look at it.
The steel-wound strings have noticeable rusting on them.

I want to believe I got a bad piece but I doubt that all issues stem from it being one. I'd love to love this guitar but I can't. I'm really disappointed.
