Ashton D65SCEQ

Before buying this D65SCEQ I bought an Epi Les Paul Custom Plus and the playability and action were beautiful but I needed an electro acoustic to just sit and strum anywhere to do my practice. So I bought a Tanglewood TFCE - big mistake! The action was abysmal the tone was so so and it didn't matter what I did at it, it just didn't "feel right". So I sold that and bought the Ashton. What a difference the action is almost as good as my Epi the tone is to die for and the looks are stunning. Bone nut and saddle, real wood rosette inlay, wood binding and even wood fretboard dots, plus built in tuner and excellent pre-amp. I'm 53 but my next door neighbours grandson is 20 and in a band. He had a play and just sat there with a grin shaking his head. I asked what was wrong and he said playing some guitars just makes me smile and this makes me smile!!

The Ashton D65SCEQ is a really good value guitar, that I spent an extra GBP 20 / USD30 to be "set-up" in the shop, rather than straight out of the box.

ok I'm a strummer not a virtuoso, but I have really enjoyed this guitar, and most people ( who are half good) who play it agree.

I know its made in China, but what do you expect for the money!

Excellent value

Built in tuner

Nice bright tone ( ernie ball slinky 10s)

Acceptable systain

Relatively low action

Electric / Acoustic (for fun)

True sound thro' amplifier

Good finish

The tuner really isn't so good, but its ok for a strummer like me, but If I want to be dead on I use a Yamaha chromo. Otherwise no bad points
