Reading all the reviews, I have had no problems with staying in tune, or any fret buzing. I did have to do a basic tighten of all bolts and nuts, but that happens on more costly guitars anyway.The only problem I have had is the nut on top of the neck.It is not centerd well, and the first string will fall off the neck when bending that string.A new nut,cost what 4 dollars? So what.For the most part it played well right out of the box.Even the tone is nice, especialy pluged in.It has been a real workhorse, and is a great, as a backup axe on stage.I say it's a real good deal, for the money.

This is a very nice one compared to $99.00 ones.
I chose this one because it has the small neck, thinner body and sounds wonderful. I have only had it for a month and ejoy playing everytime I pick it up. Just have to keep tweeking it to get it in tune other than that it is really nice. For some it may have a little to much action but all you would have to do is choose maybe some different type of strings.

This is a nice guitar for anyone... beginner to advanced, although it can be a bit challenging to play when you are used to something very easy to play. The action is somewhat high on this guitar, although an experienced player can still play it. Other than the action, the biggest downfall to this guitar is the fact that the edges of the frets are very sharp... when I am sliding on the first string, the frets literally rip my calluses. It's not a good guitar for sliding on the first string but if you're not sliding, it's o.k. for everything else.

It actually has a nice tone to it and sounds good plugged into a good amp. The size makes it great for anyone looking for a thin body acoustic guitar.

I love this little guitar; it plays well, looks good, nice thin body, great neck, and nice action. My only gripe is the preamp. What do you do when these fail? [...] If you Robelli is out of warranty, and your electronics fail, you are S.O.L. The only alternative is to buy an aftermarket preamp, which probably won't fit in the old mounting hole, all this spells is $, and this is only a [$] guitar. Big bummer!

The guitar is really great considering its price tag. The sound and tone from it will please those who play it. The only Problem I have is that the tuning heads are flimsy. The bushings on them break easy and forces you to replace them. Replacements are hard to find because the angle in which the screw goes into is a 45 degree instead of a 90 degree, which most guitars use. Other than that its a great buy. I've had it for almost two years now and it treats me well.

its really what you pay is what you get. I got this free, and I am selling it, to get back some cash.

I typically play the best-made guitars and this one is definitely not in that class. The craftsmanship is at best average, although the guitar does produce a decent acoustic and electric tone for the price - but again, look how much you are spending here. If you will not be using this guitar as a visual-only prop, and instead as an actual performing instrument, you will need to spend another $40 on some decent tuning machines such as Grovers (one of my stock machines broke off the second day - while tuning the guitar). The stock machines are poor metal quality and do not hold proper tuning for the guitar. A neck adjustment is likely in order as well.

If you don't want to spend over $200 for a decent guitar, adding the better tuning machines make this a good value in a beginning or goofing-around/campfire/drunk jam session extra guitar. However, if you are looking for an instrument to use professionally, save your nickels and get something better.

So yeah, I've owned this guitar for about 3 years now and I love it. The thing that pulled me in was the thin-cut body. I never really liked how thick most acoustics are, but this guitar is nice and slim without surrendering any tone. In fact, I own a few other acoustics and this guitar has a fuller, thicker tone than all of them. The neck is thin but not too thin. The cutaway could be a bit deeper, but how ofter do you really play down there on acoustic anyway? The only real thing I had a problem with was the tuning machines. They're cheap and were always loose and couldn't hold a tune for their life. but that's easily and cheaply fixed. I would highly recommend this guitar to anyone.
