However, it's important to note a couple of drawbacks. Firstly, the absence of fret markers for 3-5-9 positions can be a bit inconvenient, especially for beginners. Additionally, while the overall string quality is decent, there's room for improvement as I've encountered some issues with their longevity.
Despite these minor drawbacks, the guitar's positive attributes make it a solid choice for players who prioritize sound quality and comfort.
