They said the guitar alone was a 'retail value' of $750 but...you know how that goes.

The price just seemed to be too low and I assumed that Urban may one day regret lending his name to the product. But I'm ready to be proven wrong. :) It'd be interesting to track down the company and country of manufacture.

Well, i have an acoustic now but i ordered one of Urban's guitars recently and it should be in any day. So even though i'm a beginner i'll post my thoughts after i get it and let a friend who has been a player for quite some time check it out.

I know they're made in China. Not sure of the manufacturers name. The majority of the reviews i saw seem to be favorable. The common analysis is that for the money they're a quality guitar and great for beginners. We'll see.

That said, i think Urban is an awesome guitarist and love his music.
