Yeah, I've seen those ads..........I heard him compare it to a 5K Martin, a claim I would think should be take with 2 ton grain of salt........I was in Sam Ash the other day, and played a 4K Martin, and some 1-2K Takamines, Yamahas, Fenders, and there really was no comparison. Martin gets that price for good reason. I'm not saying his is a bad guitar, just that I really don't see how he can make that claim.

holy toledo..i just found this user review from harmony central...it's hilarious... :laugh:

Price Paid: N/A
Purchased from: N/A


Features: 1
None. My air guitar has more features than this POS. I think it's made out of balsa wood----you could tear it apart and make planes out of this thing and it would be more useful.

Sound: 1
Sounds great when you do your very best Pete townsend impression and smash the bloody thing. Estefraud's sweat shop workers must be as tone deaf as him (must be a requirement for their job description. This crap makes me want to put the guitar down and play video games. Maybe Estefraud shoud try Kazoo making before he reaches for the stars and attempts guitar making.

Action, Fit, & Finish: 1
For this moron to compare this crap to a Martin is ludicrous. The guitar isn't finished. This guitar gave me splinters intead of callouses. Right now I'm dressed like Zoro because I don't want to show my face after buying this crap. The finish on this guitar is as fake as the costume Estefraud wears.

Reliability/Durability: 1
This guitar is hypersensitive to any motion or movement as it will go out of tune. I find this helps to predict earthquakes. PLEASE ADVISE: AFTER TUNING, DO NOT PLAY. With the gap between the neck and the strings, I'm thinking of hanging myself----but the guitar would fall apart before I reached that point. I put vice grips on this thing as a capo. If Estefrauds head was in front of me I'd put vice grips on that too.

Customer Support: 1
Not as much support as my jock strap.

Overall Rating: 1
sucks sucks sucks sucks sucks.....was the video over an hour, or did it just seem that long? Can't even use the video to tape stuff over because that's junk too. The gig bag is a body bag for this junk. End of story. Segovia taught this loser? I bet he's rolling in his grave right now. The only billboard charts this guy is on is for the hearing impaired.
