I picked up a D160 a couple of months ago and am delighted with it. The guitar looks great, the workmanship is good and the playablility and sound are just terrific. A deep bass, clear trebles and great sustain. All it needed was a minor adjustment at the nut and saddle. I have owned over 30 guitars and this is by far the best value I have found. I'm using Webstrings Bluegress PB strings and a heavy pick. I love this guitar.

This guitar represents an incredible value. The finish is very good, overall its is a very attractive guitar. I have been playing for over 20 years and have played and owned countless guitars. For the price point this guitar sounds outstanding. It will require some set up unless you can handle very high action or play slide. I recommend this guitar to anyone looking for a step up from the beginner guitars in this price range. However as I said unless you are comfortable with adjusting saddle height and some minor fret clean up, you might want to pass this one up or hire a pro to set it up for you.

This is a very good guitar for a really good price. The sound is full, and the playibility is good. I can't afford the next price level for a solid wood guitar and D-160 gives me the feel and sound that laminate/nato can't. The finish is well done with a beautiful pattern on the headstock. I will have my local guitar shop upgrade the saddle, strings, string pegs, maybe the nut and tuners to make a very good instument even better.

I am not a pro, by any means, but I really like this guitar. Its solid wood construction and great price have made this the best guitar for hobbyists and beginners I have ever seen. In fact, I took it to a local guitar shop and had it tuned up--the pros at the shop wanted to pass it around and play it. They were amazed at the sound and quality woods. The only faults are poor quality tuners (which can be easily replaced), crappy factory strings, and the action was set way too high. I spent $25 to have the guy adjust the action and put on a set of Cleartone strings. I'll replace the tuners later if they give any trouble. Like I said, I'm not a pro but in my uneducated opinion this guitar is mellow and sweet. It's definitely a keeper! (until I can afford a Martin) ;-)

Folks, this guitar is a steal! Solid wood construction with beautiful looks and feel. And yes the big guitar sound is there with the perfect blend of tone. Of course you will have to have it set up with quality strings but even Gibsons need to be set up out of the box. I loved it so much I bought 2 of them (one mahagany and one rosewood. DO IT!
