My kids bought me an Estaban about 5 years ago when I wanted to start learning guitar. When I started with a live instructor a short time later he looked it over and said for the money, it was not too bad. It certainly is playable and I've not had any issues with it ever (other than breaking a string or two). It's certainly not top of the line but it stays in tune and still sounds pretty good. Knowing what I know now, I'm sure I wouldn't go out of my way to buy one but not bad for something to begin with. Just my 2 cents.
