ADM Acoustic Guitar Kit from Bizarkdeal

I have been playing for years now and wanted something i could start my oldest out on so I started looking and couldnt pass this one up
For the price, this is an amazing instrument! It's truly a good solid guitar for beginners and advanced players. Very rich sound. Feels like high quality even though I know there's a lot better hand made stuff out there. Sturdy. I tuned it with ease...
