I'm sure there's a thread or two about this one here somewhere. Some of you may recall that I got my daughter started on acoustic guitar at Christmas with a low end Yamaha classical. She's been playing it every day and making huge progress!

She loves to play my maple jumbo cheapie when visiting - the sound gets her and she likes how the strings are stiffer and more predictable. Because she has really taken to guitar, I'm thinking about making the small investment to add a steel string jumbo to her harem. If I buy an AJ100, I'll change the nut and saddle and put new strings on it, to improve the sound and playability as much as I can. I'm also planning a Gator case for jumbo's also, which is nearly the same cost as the guitar.

Can anyone here offer a review of this guitar? Does it have real binding or paint? Trussrod? I presume answer is yes to both questions but I'd like to know for certain. It has to be worth $119? I value your comments.
