A guitar to avoid
This review from our own Ultimate Garage Band.
Edit: Fixed link below.
all the frets were popping out on the 1st string side. When I tried to hammer one back in, the entire fret popped out. It's like none of the frets were glued in at all. Each fret was coming up and not seated. The guitar was brand new. They're taking it back, getting their money back, and then coming back here to buy an Oscar Schmidt for $20 more.

That link doesn't seem to work, AT....
I read somewhere that learning to play was a sort of negotiation between you and your guitar. I now believe it.

Can't believe they who shall remain nameless would endorse such a product serious quality control problem didn't the warranty terms seem generous maybe they knew they were chancing there arm, could have been the exception to the rule though won't do the sales any good.

Be a good name for a Punk group. Vince Vomit and the Sick Riffs
Bet the riffs wouldn't be as sick as the person that bought it.
Imagine an eager beginner getting one playing one strum and the whole thing falling apart, I can imagine the thread.
Bought my first guitar today, started playing and the frets fell off, tried to put them back in and the neck fell off, is this normal or is my playing to aggressive thanks Carpenters Fan

Not surprised it sold out, to the general public it probably looks like a good deal and it could be but AT verified it ain't Scottish. Funny, my 60 dollar Rogue is still doing fine after 1.5 years but I did research and many liked it so I went for it. I'm sure the reviews on this one won't be so favorable.

Yesterday was history, tommrow is a mystery, today is a gift. I'm moving on and starting over. There are things that have been done and past. You cannot change what's done but you can change what has not been. I will fall down and I'll pick myself back up again.
