(More customer reviews)I've been playing a few years. Two years back I invested in a Martin EC00028, it is beautiful as you would expect for guitar priced over £2K. Having got used to the slightly wider fretboard on the Martin (1 & 3/4 inches as opposed to your standard 1 & 11/16" at the nut), I was looking for a similar sized cheaper guitar that I would be comfortable knocking around with on the beach or at parties etc.. My choices of guitars with this same fretboard dimentions was limited to say the least. In fact, there was only one other that fit the bill and pleased me asthetically (the name escapes me now).
So, about a year ago I called the only stockist of this make, which happened to be in the U.S, to order one. At the time it was priced at only $199.00, so I was happy to take the risk of not playing before I purchased (which can obviously be dodgey at the best of times). To cut a very long and irritating story short, the U.S shop refused to courier the guitar to the U.K. and the manufacturer was not able to supply direct from China. I had to first send the item from the shop in the U.S to a friend in Canada (which involved paying additional tax) and then from there to me in the U.K. By the time I had finished I had paid around £150 to get a $199 guitar to the U.K. What an idiot right? - Wrong!
Without doubt it has been my favourite guitar ever. I wouldn't swap it for my martin, but only because of the £'s involved. The build quality on mine is excellent and the woods used (solid top, back and sides!)are really quite outstanding for the price. The tones honestly match that of the martin. I tweeked mine a little, some decent strings and lowering the action a fraction and just loved it.
If you are looking for a guitar in this price range and like a slightly wider fretboard, buy this one, I've not come across anything at this cost to beat it. Genuinely a great bit of kit.
