I bought this JM because I wanted an inexpensive guitar which I wouldn't have to handle with care, one that could get some dings and beatings without me caring, but this guitar is great. I filed down the nut a little bit to make open chords sound better and adjusted the string height a bit, and I really do have fun playing on this even though I have 2 guitars at 10x the price.
From factory the head had a few marks, but that was the point of this guitar anyways, other than that it looks terrific. The finish is gorgeous and the back of the neck is actually quite stunning, I was in complete awe when I saw it.
