About this item

Incredible sound: Perfect for musicians-in-the-making or advanced players, this guitar features an impressive tone, standout projection and incredible sonics. It's waiting to be heard.
Fine hardwood construction: Guitar is made from X-braced, A-grade Spruce wood, known for its resiliency and versatility and Basswood for warmth. Whether playing soft or loud, strumming or flatpicking, the guitar remains responsive and retains its tonal integrity.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Nice warm tone for a thin body. worth the price!
    Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2024
    Pro tip: new or freshly changed strings always need to be stretched out by hand before they will hold tuning, especially lighter strings like these made with softer alloys. I personally haven't noticed tuners drifting but I have noticed the string winding job from the factory isn't that great and that can also cause slipping.

    just wanted a cheapo for around the house so I don't have to fire up the electric rig every time.

    Nicely surprised with this one, usually my concern with cheaper acoustics is they are paper thin and sound hollow, tinny and flat.

    The body is pretty solid and feels stiff and looking inside very well braced, for being a thin body it has a much warmer and louder sound then I expected, and because of the nice solid construction you can hear a bit of natural reverb when you ring out a note.

    Action is tight and low out of the box and the light strings are perfect for fingerwork. Fret ends are average and I haven't found any buzzing. It may be cheap but looks like it was built well. Basic preamp but it works fine for plugging in and sounds ok. I bet this guy would sound great with a soundhole humbucker.

    The bag is better then most cheap bags. While it won't protect from a hard fall it will do the job of keeping knicks, dings and scratches in the backseat of a car to a minimum.

    Nothing fancy but does the job nicely and has a pleasant tone. As with most budget instruments minor cosmetic flaws don't bother me and I don't see very many anyways. so I usually don't ding them for it. Seen a lot worse at 2-4x money. So a home run for my use.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A good value

    My Inspection and evaluation As-Received:

    Sound hole label states:
    Ashthorpe
    Model C85
    Designed & specified in Florida USA
    Manufactured in China
    A nylon gig bag with carry handle and two backstraps is provided
    Visually there were no apparent defects or damage to parts or finish
    Fretboard and both body edges were bound with white material
    20 frets total
    Scale Length is 25.5 inches
    Fret board width at the nut is 1.730 inches
    String width at the nut is 1.404 inches
    String width at the saddle is 2.162 inches
    The fret ends were beveled with no significant sprout evident; some of the bevel edges felt sharp and need a bit of smoothing with a fine file.
    Frets were reasonably smooth and bright with a height average around 0.040 inches.
    Frets were evaluated for level with a fret rocker tool (iLuiz tool); rocker error was detected at the following frets: 19, 17, 14, 9, 7; playability was not impacted so I chose not to get into fret leveling.
    The saddle is approx. 0.138 inches thick with some intonation relief cuts present
    Strings were installed by the seller but were set below standard pitch
    It tuned easily to concert pitch E A D G B E; stick-slip on the wound G string was corrected with a correct width fret file to deepen and slant the string notch towards the tuner post. I did not inspect or file the remaining string slots.
    Several tuning passes were needed as the neck settled under tension
    String diameters in inches were measured with a dial caliper as follows
    E 0.052, A 0.049, D 0.035, G 0.025, B 0.015, e 0.011
    Fretboard relief was measured against a NeckCheck fretboard tool with 0.014 inch relief maximum found at the 9th fret.
    String height (“Action”) was found at the 12th fret to be 0.090 inch at bass E string and 0.070 inch at the treble E string (FretGuru 2 tool)
    Electronic preamp has an easily accessed 9-volt battery. The unit has a battery test button that glows red if the battery is good. The supplied battery was in place and was covered with shrink plastic, The battery holder is cleverly designed with dimensions that only allow the battery to be inserted with correct polarity position.
    Plugged in to a small practice amp the guitar made plenty of volume with the EQ sliders making noticeable changes to the sound.
    Tone is good for such a low-priced guitar. This is a very good budget guitar and could be used as a knock-about guitar for travel, gigs, jam sessions.

    I reset the fretboard relief to 0.007 inch by turning the truss rod hex clockwise using the supplied hex wrench
    I snugged the tuning key nuts (against reports of failure to hold tune); the unit holds tune acceptably well.
    I finished the edges of the beveled ends of some frets with a fine file to smooth them to finger touch.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Great for the price but does have issues
    Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2022
    This is a decent little guitar to bang on. I am a pro player and use Taylor and Fender Acoustics for live Worship. I thought why not try something on the cheaper end. See what its all about. 100 bucks is not a bad price so why not. It does sound pretty decent. Amazed how well the EQ works. Its reactive and does curve the sound nicely. It is light as expected. Lots of plastic but its 100 bucks. Love the brown color. Frets are OK. A little thin as you play up the fret board. Action needs work but was playable out of the box. Was worried about the warning that tuning could break the neck. Pretty funny, but she tuned right up. Love the shape of the head stock. A lot like Martin. It even came with a battery for the pickup. Shipped fast. This is all the good.

    The bad (as expected), the strings and tuners suck. I will replace the tuners and strings and see how she holds up. But again for the price and a little fixing i think i will gig this guitar. Actually was surprised at the low end of this guitar for being a thin line. It's got decent rich resonance. Overall recommended for beginners. you can learn guitar for sure on this dude without breaking the bank. Well see how she holds up to the rigors of a gig. Thanks and good luck.
