My SX DG 50CE acoustic just arrived

[Robert]

Wow, it is awesome. I haven't plugged it in yet, but the first 5 minutes of playing it acoustically tells me this guitar is one fine instrument! The quality seems much better than the SX strat I got.

The sounds is clear and big. Can't believe it sells for so cheap.

Neck is supereasy to play, and no buzzing. Intonation very good too. The finish is impressive.

Unless it sounds like garbage when I plug it in, this one's a winner.

Pics, videos, etc to come later.

Holy cow! That guitar has rosewood back and sides. That is an incredible price!!

Please play the heck out of it before you give us a review. If you find that it is really good with no problems then I'm going to get one for sure.

So thats what you spend your free shipping on? Sounds like a great guitar!

 

[Robert]

Yes, I am very excited to play it. I figured it would be a good thing to spend the free shipping on.

I couldn't talk you into a Washburn, eh?

Looks pretty sweet for the price. I see that it comes with D'addario EXP16's from the factory. Let me know what you think of them - they are my favorite acoustic strings.

Can't wait to hear it!

Hello Robert,

Can you tell me if it has a truss rod? And if it does is it adjustable? I did not see it mentioned in the ad or I could not see if there was one in the picture.

Thanks Robert. Can't wait to hear it, I may order one as soon as possible.

Yep, it has a truss rod. Upon closer inspection, I see the frets and the fretboard are litte rough, but it still plays very good. I can fix up those little details myself anyway. It developed a little buzz on the frets the day after I got it, so I tightened the truss rod just a little and the buzz is gone. It is truly a good instrument for such a low cost.

The strings sound great to me Trev, but I am no expert on acoustic guitar strings.

It sounds just as good (or better) and plays better than many 400-600 dollar guitars I've been testing in music stores!

wow robert...looks (and sounds) like you got a great deal! You keep buying gear and you're going to have to up the 500 character maximium on our signatures to list them all!!

 

[Robert]

Thanks guys, yes my stuff is increasing in size... my wife ask how many of these stupid things I need... I say LOTS OF THEM! Haha!

Trev, I'll be ready for ya!

I can't wait to hear it plugged in, since it sounds great already. I especially liked the SRV bits, which reminded me of MTV unplugged.
