What a serious disappointment . I bought this guitar based on a few very positive YouTube reviews . I don't what guitar that those folks are talking about but it assuredly not the S34C .

Let me start by saying that the guitar looked great right out of the box . Overall the guitar has a nice satin finish . The binding is well done and both the bridge and fretboard seem to be decent quality rosewood . The tuners a sealed , turn smoothly and don't have any wobble .The nut and saddle look like some kind of synthetic bone and both look to be slotted and seated correctly . The neck is slim and feels very comfortable in your hand . The body size is a little smaller and slimmer then a standard dreadnought and sits/hangs nicely while playing either standing or sitting .

Now to the problems . The string action was crazy high right out of the box . Combine that with severe fret buzz at the first three frets makes the guitar unplayable . A closer inspection reveals that the second fret is ridiculously high and needs to be leveled and crowned . I simply can't believe that this guitar was allowed to leave the factory in the condition . I know it's only a $100 guitar but if isn't playable then the discount price doesn't matter . It would taken just a few minutes to run the thing back over to the fretting department and have them fix the bad fret instead of just sending it . Now I'm returning it and Amazon will send it back them . I hope that they fix it before selling it to someone else .

To summarize I would rather have an ugly guitar that plays well as apposed to a nice looking guitar that plays terribly . To give the benefit of the doubt it is possible that I just got a bad one . However the one I got was so bad that I opted for a refund and not replacement . I would recommend exercising caution when buying a S34C .
