Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought this for $40 in march, and it is now december, meaning I have had this for 9 months now. This is my first guitar so here's my review. It's nice, sturdy, durable (i don't use a case), and it is well worth it. I tell my friends that it is a forty dollar guitar and they are impressed at how cheap it is. It's very very solidly built but light, like wield-it-as-a-sword type of light. I am still using the original strings and I agree that the strings are on the tight side. Compared to friends' acoustics I have played, this one is usually louder and its ring is more "pop" if that makes sense. I recently played a Jasmine acoustic/electric and the Jasmine was more serene sounding and each strum blending, compared to this one where each string rings distinctly and with flare. On this one, action is high so when strumming carelessly hard, I have to make sure I press down harder or else it will buzz ... but I don't mind this because it helps me learn properly ;) Everything I have said in this paragraph are not cons, just characteristics. EDIT: I thought I should update. I changed my strings a few weeks ago since I broke the G-string (ha-ha). It's a bit crazy but I changed the strings to elixirs. It'll sound like I'm advertising elixir strings but my guitar is much more finger friendly. Strings are more gentle yet still solid. How does it sound? Ah-mazing. It rings clear, vibrant, wider in a sense, and ...uh, well just take my word. My friends agree it sounds better. So with that in mind, who knew that a string breaking could be a good thing? ;)
