Look man, I'm not a guitar snob by any means. I'm a proud owner of a few Fender Strats and a classic Martin. I just picked up an $80 Galveston acoustic/electric, and I love it. I tweaked the neck a bit, tended to the frets a little and put some quality strings on it. It's a very nice all around, no worries guitar. Great for taking outside and playing around by the camp fire. You get a little more than you pay for in this case.
