As I mentioned in THIS POST (http://www.thefret.net/showthread.php?p=150604#post150604) in the Musician's Friend "Stupid Deal of the Day" thread on Oct. 2, I ordered a Silver Creek T160 auditorium-size (a.k.a. "000") acoustic guitar when MF apparently mistakenly offered a $100 discount AND a $100 MIR on this model. So I got an all-wood (spruce top, mahogany sides & back) guitar usually selling for $300 for a final cost of $100. Not for me, though--bought it as a donation to my church, for use in accompanying the praise singing in our contemporary service. So I'll get to play it occasionally, along with several other folks.
Anyway, it arrived today, and is really quite a nice guitar. I'm used to a dreadnought, so it seems a little small to me, and the neck is a bit wider than I'm used to. But it is cosmetically gorgeous, holds tune nicely, plays well, and sounds very nice. Not even any glue globs on the inside that I can see--very cleanly built. The MF customer reviews on this model were very solid, and I can see why. A solid value at $300, and absolute larceny at $100.
Here are some pics:
