The higher grade versions are from $500-$3000 lol.....

So ya...I'd imagine they'd be good lol.

But anyway, in detail, what makes it not so good?

If you like this style of guitar keep your eyes out for one of these on Ebay - I purchased one a few years back for $300.

I was looking into it because of its specs, if it plays good and is of descent quality i'd snatch it up.

But if its a lemon, i'd wana stay away.
