These are really high quality, evidently very much made by hand, lower price point guitars. Again, this was a stated goal of Ed Sheeran's, to make a guitar that was much more affordable for folks who want to learn and play, but don't have a lot of money to spend on an instrument.

Why not give them a chance. Let's see how they do as they roll them out into the public's hands before we bash the crud out of them.
