I bought the guitar to learn and it really does deliver. The body color of the guitar is brighter than on the pictures. i had expected a gray-ish nato blue but instead received a bright nato blue guitar. I have given the finish a 4 star because it arrived with a scratched pickguard, which, i don't really mind i guess since it's supposed to get scratched, but still. Also, when i removed the backplate to swap out the strings it came with, i noticed that they did not really do a good job of keeping it clean, the screwholes were dirty and a bunch of loose dust was still in there. overall, it is perfect, it really does meet the expectations when it comes to sound quality and the overall looks in my opinion.
