Esteban American Legacy Review

History: I'm a 53 yr old beginner. As all my friends were and are playing the guitar I got the bug. My first guitar was a New York Pro cut a way that I found in a pawn shop. I'm a right hander but my left wrist is fused so playing righty was out of the question so I had the Pro strung up side down so I could play it lefty. Of course by doing so it raised the action but I managed to learn on it. Additional Note: Black acoustic electric w/amp.

Purchase: The Esteban was a gift of $198.00 The package arrived in 5 days.

Pros: First of all the guitar in a whole is absolutely beautiful. Mine has no flaws and plays sweet. As this is my first left handed guitar it was so easy to play. I did change my strings to elixir polyweb light weights. The amp works great. Absolutely no problems with this package. the dvd's are great to work with as well as the instructional manuals. The chord chart is constantly being monitored.



Cons: It doesn't sound as well as my friend's Alveraz. But that's like comparing a mercedes to a jeep. I wish it would have came with a guitar stand with the package.

American Legacy Quality: The guitar is well crafted. After tuning it the first couple of times to stretch the strings, I haven't had to tune it. The case is handsome and rugged with plenty of storage space. The amp is great for practicing. I use it quite a lot but I'm not trying to blow the walls off either.

Esteban Summary: The bottom line is for $198.00 you are getting your money's worth and more. I priced the case alone for $49.95. So for a beginner you can't beat it. Even for an intermediate player it's a good buy. Customer service was great also. I would purchase another Esteban.
