Default Shocked at what I found today - such a value for money

I found this little guitar in local guitar shop Binh in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

I made some initial recording with it with my phone - still brand new first hour of both guitar and strings. I guess with proper microphone and some decent break-in time, the sound will be much better.





Guess what is the price ... below $300. . Such a sweet guitar, both the burst looking and the sound. Not sure if people can really tell in a blind comparison vs. $2-3k north guitar. And I do not think I would be worry if I need to carry it around, or if my kid knocks it down.

Somehow Youtube link doesn't appear properly above.
