Experience the Difference
Dreadnought Style with Cutaway Design
The 4.5" thick, dreadnought design of these guitars provides the traditional deep, rich tones associated with an acoustic guitar. The 41", full sized body features a cut away design at the neck to provide better access to the top frets which makes them more comfortable to play.
A-grade Tonewood Construction
The front is crafted from X-braced spruce for strength and resiliency, the sides and back are constructed from basswood for warmth and tone and the neck is made from strong and balanced marine grade Okoume.
4-Band Pickup Equalizer
The integrated 4-band pickup/EQ features control slides for presence, bass, mid-range, and treble as well as a volume control knob to provide full tonal control.
High-End Finishing Touches
Our stranded steel core strings have been wound with phosphor-bronze and stainless steel and have been coated with an anti-rust coating. The pre-installed set of strings are wound around premium chrome diecast tuning pegs for a brilliant finishing touch.

I bought this guitar (the black one) without ever playing before and I was hesitant at first because of the bad reviews or people talking about setting it up. All I've done is tune it and it sounds amazing, string ring out nice, frets arent sharp and overall feels great to play. Great guitar for a great price.

Great action. If you need something cheap but worth buying this is an excellent start. Sounds great but you'll be tuning it everyday when you first pick it up. Friends say that will change when it is restrung with the strings I normally prefer using. Great gift for a beginner, very beautiful finish. Just buy it.

I've been playing guitar over 30 years. I am not great , but have had a lot of fun around campfires , Sunday School , etc .I haven't bought a guitar in over 20 years , but my hobby is making music videos .Last month , I thought what do I have to lose trying this guitar . I watched reviews , and just couldn't believe it. I now own 3 of these since then , Red , Blue , and Black . My preference is the dreadnought, but I did buy a cutaway model also , just so I have a varied Collection . The neck is perfect for me , the tuning pegs are adequate, extra Strings , the Colors are stunning , and this guitar plays as good as my other more expensive ones , at a fraction of the price. I may buy 1 more yet .... but I took a break from having guitars delivered to me for a bit. Never did I dream I could buy this quality , at this price ...Great for beginners , and intermediate players ...

Brand name isn't what was received, though it looks identical. It won't tune properly and trying to tune it to standard tuning, causes the high E strings to break as it is too tight to play. Multiple strings sound dead, even when using good strings. The tuning keys don't turn properly and the overall sound quality is terrible. This isn't even a good beginner guitar!

I bought this guitar for my daughter as it was cheaper to have it delivered from Amazon than take her nicer guitar on the airline. I have played over 20 years on nice guitars and also cheaper entry level guitars acoustic and electric. It has a good sound for the price, better than some name brands that cost more. I have a Teton 12 string, and an ovation acoustic. The neck on the Ashthorpe is definitely on the thick side maybe like an old-school Les Paul. Or more similar to the 12 string neck. It does measure 44 mm are about 1.7 inches at the nut. This might be a challenge for players with smaller hands. The radius seems to be at least 13 inch or flatter. The frets are narrower than I am accustomed to and medium and height they feel slightly lower than my other guitars. The bound neck was also rolled over and comfortable. The fretboard was in nice shape and frets level. The action was very high over 3 mm at the 12th fret. The strings that came on mine were OK and not corroded. I think they are phosphor bronze. Fretboard was very dry. I loosen the strings pulled the pins and applied linseed oil. I also took about 1.5 mm off of the bridge saddle. This made the guitar much nicer to play. The intonation is spot on. The action at the 12th fret is now 2.5 to 3 mm range. I did need to adjust the truss rod as well. The cowboy cords play very nicely. The finish is not fabulous but it’s also nice. Mine did not have any glaring imperfections. I would definitely recommend this to a friend. The only caveat for a beginner would be the large neck size and a little bit of setup. There are good tutorials on YouTube to perform these tweaks on your guitar.

UPADATED : This is my second such acoustic purchased from this brand. I am very impressed. On both of these I had to file the fret ends down , not a big deal , I own a file kit and learned how to do it. That took 10 minute. I put extra light flat top strings on it , basically 10 gauge . This guitar had very high actiin until I sanded the bridge down ,the other guitar I bought had medium - high action. Being an acoustic , I don't need very low action. I can tell you for an almost fact that these have real spruce tops. After almost a year with my first one it still sounded as good as it did when I put new strings on it. I gave my original away to my daughter who decided to take up guitar. I only have one minor issue with this new one. There is a slight rattle coming from somewhere . I'm guessing its a loose piece of hardware like a tuner nut being loose or something else.,later I found it was that the battery compartment door was not shut properly , PROBLEM SOLVED . Overall these guitars are great , I would say with the hard woods used , the body and neck binding and the electronics added that these are comparable to brand name guitars that run into the $500 and up range. I have been playing for close to 40 years , I know what I'm talking about . I also have done numerous guitar setups and repairs. I know guitars . If you are in the market for an acoustic , you would be a fool not buy this one. Just keep in mind the fret ends will have to be worked on. A kit cost $10 and it's easy to do if watch a video on it and are very carefull. If not a Luther would charge around $25 to do it. Good luck. Remember even the more expensive guitars can have the fret ends issue.

I got the black one and it looks great. It has a rich full bodied sound. The neck has a bow in it and it's going to need a truss rod adjustment. The action is very high which makes it difficult to play. I'm going to have to sand down the bridge saddle. Overall it appears to be a well built guitar but I would not recommend it for a beginner.If you don't know how to do your own set up work it's going to cost you about $60 to have a guitar tech set it up. Fortunately for me, I'm able to do my own set up work.I have bought low end Epiphones which were very playable right out of the box.I suggest you pay a lillte more for an Epiphone and steer clear of this Ashthorpe. When I'm finished with it, it will be a decent guitar, but as is, it's not playable in it's current condition. Very disappointed.Follow up...After adjusting the truss rod and action, this guitar is everything any player could ask for. It sounds and plays as well as a two thousand dollar Martin or Taylor. There are lots of high end guitar snobs who will disagree but it's true. With proper set up, you can make most any cheap guitar sound and play like a million bucks!
