Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2021
I have smaller hands, and mostly play rapid-strummy Mountain Goats-esque folk rock stuff on this. It's great for that. Spacing for more complex picked riffs at the top of the neck can feel a little cramped, but about average down closer to the body.
It smelled overwhelming of glue for about the first two weeks, which I didn't love. No longer noticeable.
Been playing it daily for about two months now and have taken it out to a couple of open mics, which it's perfect for; built-in tuner works well, pickup sounds great direct into the board and PA. I don't hear a _ton_ of difference when I adjust the tone knob, but there's some good headroom in the volume control and it hasn't kicked feedback at me yet.
It's especially great for songwriting. Small and comfortable enough that I don't get tired of holding or handling it, and it doesn't take up much room next to you on the couch. It just fits into the scene better when surrounded by some notebooks, pens, an iPad, music stand, a pile of empties, etc. And in a way that I'm certain would horrify ergonomists and guitar teachers everywhere, it's fairly comfortable to play lying down.
I haven't had any issues with the tuners. The strings feel cheap, but fine for the price. The neck on mine was straight but not perfectly smooth; one or two spots had obviously been filled at the factory, which annoyed me for the first day or two but I haven't noticed them since. The frets were in pretty good shape.
The bag is cheap and thin, but I hadn't realized it even came with one, so that was a nice bonus as it helped me get it back home on a road trip without damage. I picked up the hardshell SKB case many others have recommended in the reviews and it's a decent fit, especially if you roll your strap up and stick it into the gap made by the cutaway.
Bottom line: if this thing got stolen I would immediately purchase another, no hesitation.
