Christmas present - Susan A. Royal, Nov 21, 2009

I've bought several of these guitars. I bought one for my grandchildren and after seeing what a sturdy guitar it was and what a good sound it had, I bought one for my husband. I was pleasantly surprised at the finish and how well-made it was. While nothing fancy, it was well worth the money for beginners and nice enough for someone who knows how to play. I'm very pleased.

It plays .... - Readz Alot, Oct 27, 2009

When my beloved old guitar gave up the ghost (long story) I needed a guitar in a hurry, but had no money. This one had good reviews, so I gave it a try. I knew it wouldn't be anything amazing, but still expected, based on the reviews, something a bit better than I got.

It's very light, with a flimsy feel to it, enhanced by the matte finish ... it really DOES look like a balsa-wood airplane. The high action hurt my fingers, so I immediately swapped the fairly heavy strings it came with for a lighter set of Martin steel strings, and noticed a further deterioration in the already only so-so tone. It stays in tune quite well, but no matter what I do it just sounds ... cheap.

If you're an absolute beginner (or are buying for a child who will probably get bored with the guitar in a few months) and don't want to spend much, this may be an ok 'first guitar', but a more experienced player will want something better. Something that I am now saving my pennies to get.

Perfect for a beginner - Amy Hoang, Oct 22, 2009

The quality of this guitar for the price that its marked at is perfect for a beginner. I wasn't sure if the novelty of trying to learn the guitar would wear off quickly so I got this guitar for it's price but have been playing and taking lessons on it ever since. The best part is you won't feel so guilty when you leave your guitar lying around catching dust, if after awhile you realize you don't play the guitar much.

Nice guitar - Zee, Oct 01, 2009

After all the positive reviews I decided to with this S35 as my first guitar and am very happy I did so. All the positive feedback is absolutely true. I would only like to add that I ordered it from Amazon - seller Austin Bazaar and it arrived the next day by Free Shipping! It was shipped from PA to NY, so take a note all of you living nearby.
