I did. Bought it last spring. I consider it a nice toy. Sound isn't big at all, as it is all plywood and quite small, but it comes in quite handy as a travel guitar: cheap and small. To go further into the matter of the top: i suspect the upper veneer isn't even real wood but a photographic print, considering there is no difference in grain (only visually) to be detected what so ever(like on some cheap "laminated" floorboards). Furthermore the top seems to be pressed in the same mould as the back, as their forms are each others spitting image. But then: the neck is great: it even reminds me of that of a Gibson ES 335 Dot. Think stretch cords and fast singlenote solos. Some day soon i'll attach a (floating) pick up to it. Many like the looks of it. |
