More than a few compare it to a bigger ukulele - which it can sound like
Israel Kamakawiwo'ole could do a nice "Over the Rainbow" on this
I was tempted to buy this but a reviewer who liked it said the strings are narrow and harder to play. A poster above said the same thing so I'm going to stay away since I have 10 thumbs

For first-time buyers, I would not recommend this guitar; it probably isn't the guitar you expect.

I'll add that an electric or classical guitar is likely a better beginner guitar because they are much easier on the fingers.

and then I have one in each of the different colors available although I think I'm still missing one or two.
The main thing you need to remember when you buy a guitar like this is you're going to need a setup. Straight out-of-the-box the action is high you might have a little fret buzz and for the price you're paying that's perfectly acceptable. I love playing dirty delta Blues and 50s rock and roll classics on these guitars. They are insanely fun and sound wonderful for what they are and are all around an excellent value.
I have Martins, gibsons, vintage takamines, fenders, taylors you name it. Probably 20 ish guitars total. When I get a few friends over, we all pick up one of these little gretches and have some damn fun jam sessions. If you don't like this guitar. it's because you don't like what it was made to play or you don't have it set up properly. For the record I have large hands and wear an ex large glove and I find the playability just fine.
