Of course it's really cheap and not something to brag about but I'm a poor student and I really needed a steelstring and jack guitar and for the money I had, that was the best buy I could find. I got it for 1499 NOK which is about 170 EUR or just under 250 dollars. In this country, that's bloody cheap for a new guitar, about upper 30% of the original price I'd say.

And I actually like it, worth every krone! If someone needs something similar cheap, then you could do worse than this one.
I have an acoustic-guitar-phobia because they are so tempermental to everything, like the heat, cold, and humidity, not only can the neck wrap but the top wraps around the bridge, the tops can also crack, there's nothing to adjust intonation, and if the string buzzes against the frets its harder to correct.

So congrats, I would rather buy a $250 than a $2,500 acoustic guitar.
