Carlo Robelli CDG27CEBK Review

History: I have a degree in music..I've been playin gthe guitar since 1971.I just sold a Martin so I know what a good guitar sounds like.LOL I bought the cdg27cebk Carlo Robelli as a practice guitar fo rmy son..He never learned how to play.The guitar sounded and played sick, until I put a set of Adario strings on it and lowered the saddle.WOW! what a diffence.It does have a decent full tone with no buzzes.I have no problem playing fast bluegrass on it.If you lack the funds for a quality guitar.I would reccomend it.I can make it sound pretty good. Chuck

Purchase: I bought it from a pawn shop for 125.00.I was lookng for one for my son.

What I Like About This Unit: i like it becasue it's cheap , straight neck, full tone with no buzzes . It also stays in tune.I can play it hard or soft and stillstays in tune..nice treble.It can also be played electric..Also..super tough finish.

What I Do NOT Like About The Carlo Robelli CDG27CEBK: For the price not much..I wished it had a deeper low end sound..

CDG27CEBK Quality: Built like a tank..very durable.The saddle however is just a straight piece of plastic..eventually I'll put a bone one in..

Summary: For the cash...can't go wrong..Medium light strings work great for me..It's very durble. Stays in tune and sounds close ot my Martin except for th emissing soft Martin lows..the highend strings are just as good.That surprized me..plays very well when saddle is sanded down to 2 tight dimes under the 12th fret.
