EastCoast D1SCE Satin Natural

Great value for the money

Phenomenal, receiving such a beautiful guitar with a solid spruce top is unheard of at the price point. Sounds great and plays easily, couldn't be happier.

Great value guitar. Sounds andcplays Great.

I've bought, sold, built and played dozens of guitars over the years; this one is a cracker! This is what I think about the one I bought. The satin finish is comparable to a Taylor, the inside of the guitar (always look inside!) shows care, attention to detail and excellent construction. A really good grade booked matched solid spruce top produces the volume and warmth you want from a dreadnought. No flaws or iffy joints! The action is probably the best I've seen on a guitar anywhere near this price. The frets for my taste will need a little finishing but there are no offensive really sharp bits and crude edges. It plays out the box. The built in tuner is spot on accurate and the PUP had a really great tone. As an amateur Luthier I'll not have a lot to do! This basic guitar is so good it's worth upgrading, the strings will always be budget on a guitar this price, so go there first; the machine heads look great and are perfectly workable, but I'll put self locking Gotoh or similar on soon. I will avoid the cliché 'for the money'; this guitar would stand comparison with any price range of production guitars I've seen. Most importantly you can learn on it with ease; many cheap guitars almost guarantee the purchaser will have almost no chance, with ridiculously high action and poor set up. Exceptional value for money.

Great for the money!
