I always put it away a bit astounded as to how they get these so nice yet so cheap. Gig bag is very nice too.
Great value for what it is!

Slick deal for SOLID Spruce top and Acoustic Electric connections too.

deal stacking looks to be over but now it's 89.99 without a coupon code. Great value still, though I can lie in wait...
Do I need yet another? no, though the one I have is without the electronics. I think it's amazing - though I'm far from as critical or scientific in my assessment skills. It's just a joy, and cheap at that!
If there's a decent coupon code that is usable (not the $2000 and over coupon code, gulp) - I'll pounce on it (again)!

I ordered a regular one but FedEx ate it. Monoprice made up for it and all the trouble; I just waited a while to order again and this time I got the Acustic Electric version!
I kinda expected it to be nice. And I kinda expected minor issues, nicks, weird grain or something a least somewhere. But the freaking thing is a beautiful work of art. You'd be absolutely stupid not to try one. Let's see.
The finished and the grain with gloss is perfect. The solid top grain is beautiful. The back is beautiful with interesting grain and the back of the neck is not too light like I feared. In fact it's medium dark and the wood grain is like subtle tiger stripes the direction of the frets.
After tuning from loose and letting the strings stretch in an stabilize then it played great. And it's so loud and I love that. Or soft when played soft. And that solid spruce top Highs, mids and lows are perfect. If this thing said Martin on it then it would bring $5000!
I received a separate mini tuner for clipping on the head-stock. Perfect. AND it has built in tuner ALSO. With EQ and sounds great into an amp.
The fret ends are done and no problems to playing out of the box . But on closer rub then I can feel the ends are slightly pokey and could be smoothed some more (compared to my tweaked StratBay). But watch a video howto first.
The action is fine; but below the 12th fret it could be slightly closer. I'm used to REALLY close action. No fret buzz anywhere across the board.
Strap, cloth, wrench, NICE case etc...
I think I'm in love.

a/e though 5th one that I have owned (temporarily, gave / sold the previous ones) - none have disappointed me but rather left me wondering how nice it is/was, especially at the price.
Now it's 89.99 without the coupon code.
Last week or so:
I should have bought another with the $25 off $100 (get some qualifying filler for 10.01), to effectively be $65 - depending on your accounting for the filler. I lay poised for the next coupon code + sale to stack.
Tremendous value for what it is!

The thing is just so fancy. And it inspired me a lot to play it. There's nothing like a resonating Dreadnought. And push button tuning on the guitar.
Tip: If yours appears dead, take the battery out. It has clear plastic around it.
When connected then it only sends signal when the tuner is off. Watch your volume before switching it's tuner OFF.
The EQ is awesome too.
But even unplugged the frequency responses and resonance are amazing. Playing harmonics sounds like its plugged in, when it's not.
Enjoy
