Although there were a few decent reviews...overall it sounds like it is proabably a piece of junk. I especially do not like the reviews that complained about the strings being so high off the neck (bleeding fingers etc.)...because I know that it can damage your fingers pretty severely...at least untill your fingers become toughened up. I ordered it off of the site...and it does have a thirty day money back for any reason...so it sounds like something I will be returning.
Sorry. I posted as soon as I read your thread. You never know. The quality probably varies, and you may get a decent beginner guitar. "High strings" isn't usually hard to fix. It may require some adjusting of the nut (if that guitar has one), and filing of the bridge piece. The problem is you don't wanna pay a luthier very much to do it!
