A descent guitar that easily will take you the first 4-5 years of playing if you practice regularly. The neck is nether to bulky round or to flat (as I like them) which makes the guitar easily playable. It also has a relative full sound. Not to much cardboard-sound (as you get in many cheap guitars) and a good blend of bass and high notes. Giving a top Taylor Guitar a 10 This will get a 6 So at some point you want to move on. But it is a really good start.
