I am thinking about buying one. It has the same mellow tones I hear coming from Gibsons that sell (on sale) for $1,600-2,200. It is currently on sale at the G.C. for $569....it's usually around $650_700 on sale.

I read nothing but great reviews. Does anyone here have one?
Thanks!

I picked one up today. Sounded nice.

Not big boy Gibson nice, but not big boy Gibson price.

$650 ain't a little steep? I'm actually asking. Not crapping on that guitar. I did not pay attention to the materials.

I have one of The Aj-500s,satin sunburst. have had it about 6 years.

Thing is super loud and the slightest brush over the strings sounds off,BIG.It's a big guitar though.

interesting thing about this guitar,it has a slight imperfection in the neck,like a knot,behind the third fret, I kind of like that.

I consider them in the same class as the Alvarez Yairi. You can't beat them for playing,for the price.

when I first got it and started playing it, I did have to adjust the action a couple of times.it finally settled in though I guess,and haven't needed to mess with it again.
