Upon receiving this Guitar and started unboxing it, I found it packed reasonably pack for it's price point. Double boxed but if FedEx decided to knock it around, I fear this would have been a different topic. So, after removing all loose wrappings I gave everything a quick visual inspection and found Nothing broke or Visually damaged... After rummaging around, I found a required 9volt battery (NOT INCLUDED) I attempted it's first power up... And NOTHING! GREAT! (not so much)

After rummaging around, I found a required 9volt battery (NOT INCLUDED) I attempted it's first power up... And NOTHING! GREAT! (not so much)
SO... It's always a bad sign when you have to trouble shoot anything that's BRAND NEW! Breaking out a flashlight and started inspecting the inside body of the guitar and found that the Power leads that run from the on-board 4-band EQ with low-battery-display to the Battery / Cable enclosure was DISCONNECTED! Apparently during assembly who ever Zip-Tied the extra length of leads disconnected it from it's power source and LEFT IT! So remover the 3 screws holding the Battery/connector and removing it. Then Working through the hole in the body, I slowly and gently pulled the power leads out of the zip-tie so I had the full length to make reattachment of leads easy. Replaced battery unit and screws and Everything now works.
Now for the amp... A little touchy and loads of feedback if too close. But Really a Nice rig for the price.
NOW in general, For a $100 acoustic guitar... After giving it a good string stretching and tuning, Not So bad.. Just be aware that Glarry Quality Control seems to turn a blind eye to details. But for now, I'm reasonably satisfied with this purchase.
