My roommate has an Epiphone pr 150, but I wanted to try something different and get a little different flavor for our house. This product gets 5 stars because I got a good one. I've heard horror stories, but mine is good. I got it in Natural Satin for 100 bucks. The action is actually lower than my roommate's pr 150 which is great! Keep in mind though that this isn't always the case. The sound on it is incredible. It's a little different than the Epi which i believe has a real wood neck, but the different sound is pretty great.
Overall it turned out to be exactly what I wanted. It turned out to be quality with low action, and a different but still very pretty sound. I would say you should take a chance on one of these. If you get a good one it should last you and be a great little guitar. If not, Amazon has a great return policy and maybe you'll try the Epiphone or Jasmine or one of them. Just know that at 100 dollars you can't always be sure what you're getting.
I wouldn't say it is as nice sounding as my Martin, but its not too far off. Being a mere 5% of what I paid for the Martin, this fender is a much much better deal and perfect as a first guitar or a 50th guitar in your collection.
Side note: They said it would came with a travel bag, but did not. Fine with me because i have like 5 laying around, but just FYI.
ALSO get new decent strings, the ones that come on it are trash.

UPDATE: 7/6/2015
After a week or two the saddle cracked. His music instructor filed it down a little to make it usable again. A month later the saddle broke even more and so did the nut. We bought a replacement saddle/nut and now it sounds great again. It appears that is this guitar's downfall. Overall still a great instrument with great sound. I would recommend buying a replacement saddle & nut and new strings.
