Starting with the obviously cheap price in which this guitar gives a rather large bang for the buck and why. For $87.00 plus tax you not only get a great sounding acoustic/electric guitar, you'll be provided with a 1/4" male to male guitar cable, a strap, an extra set of strings, truss rod wrench, and some guitar picks. The 9V battery for guitar's preamp/EQ is also included and a gig bag to protect the cosmetics and paint job. The intonation is dialed in pretty accurately and the action and relief make it easy to fret without fret rattles. This is also a great guitar to modify. Tuners would be the first thing I would soup up because they are typical stock tuners and I prefer something with an 18:1 turn ratio for fine tuning. A bone end nut and saddle would be next and finally I would change out the preamp/EQ for some Fishman gear. The guitar is pretty light and thin and wouldn't be hard to crush so that's something to beware of. For $87 it would at least still be good fire wood and buying a replacement is super cheap. I've only had mine for a day so it's hardly long enough to do this review justice but if anything breaks I will update anything that needs to be. But I think any guitar player looking for a good quality super cheap guitar, I'd say this is the one to get without a doubt. There are some other brands like Ashthorpe that I haven't tried yet but maybe some day.
Because of the woods used; Nato wood for the body (a less-expensive Eastern Mahogany) with Spruce top and Rosewood fingerboard, the guitar projects very well...surprisingly so. It's not a full Dreadnought body, but it plays almost like one to my ears...and I'm a big fan of that Martin sound. I also compared this to a Simon and Patrick Woodland Spruce, and it holds up well. It's amazing that they avoided laminate in a guitar this inexpensive, assuming the Nato body isn't laminate.
The action is pretty good, and the strings aren't overly far from the neck, though some people have shaved down the bridge for a little easier action. Any good luthier can set this guitar up for you, or if you're the daring type you can do this yourself. Some have mentioned improving the pickup with a EQ 505R Pickup, which I may very well do myself.
I haven't tried the guitar in an amp yet, but acoustic amps are expensive! So far I like the Fishman Loudbox Artist, since it has real control over guitar and mic (in the same amp) and has a headphone jack. Yes. Headphone jack! This is a must when you live in an apartment or as I do, a townhome with shared walls.
This is an amazing value. I'm just a casual beginner guitarist getting back to guitar after decades playing other instruments. This guitar is gorgeous in appearance and it's quite easy to play, even for people with smaller hands like me. My guitar playing has really improved....and it's all because this instrument was both affordable and great quality that my interest in guitar-playing (and skill) has reached a new level. I'd happily buy another one if something happened to this one, and can heartily recommend it.
5 Stars!
I'm going to start with the cons.....mostly because I like to end with positives. On my sample, the fret were crunchy and the fret ends were sharp. Stock strings were corroded over the frets. This will not be good for a new player. You will need to take it to a tech for a setup and fret job.....which then more than doubles the cost of the guitar. I know how to do this work so it's not a big deal.....and certainly to be expected for a $100 guitar. Some minor paint and binding issues here and there. You need to look for them and they certainly impact nothing in terms of play nor tone.
So let's talk POSITIVES! Once I cleaned up the fret ends, polished the frets, and replaced the strings, this guitar is quite capable and I would use it on stage in place of my PRS and Martin acoustics (NOT a tone or playability comparison, just that it sounds and feels good on its own). Tuners, nut, and bridge are solid (could be replaced....but it's a $100 guitar). I didn't do much for a setup other than letting it acclimate after the previous work and strings. A slight tweak to the truss rod was it. The electronics are surprisingly good and comes with a battery (remove the plastic from it). The neck is nice......thick but not huge....pretty average and comfortable. The thin line body is comfortable and great for people who find a full sized to be too big or unwieldy.
The unamplified acoustic tone was very surprising. It doesn't have the "plink" that I associate with guitars of this body size. While it is thinner in tone than a full size, it fits nicely in a mix and on its own. Again, I'm not going to compare it to my other acoustics that cost 10-30 times as much. That's not fair. However, like I said, I would have no issue taking one of these to a gig and playing for hours.
Overall - solid piece of gear IF you have the ability to put some work into it or know someone that can. It's a great guitar for $100!

The buzzing is in part a result of some frets that are not positioned at the correct height. There are also many frets sticking out enough to snag fingers when run along the sides of the neck, with several being very rough. Both sides of the neck are affected but they are much worse on the high E side.
The top of the guitar around the bridge is sinking due to drying out and the bridge is starting to lift. I took the guitar for two evaluations. One by an independent store where I live and then a second by Long & McQuade (very reputable, 60+ locations across Canada). Both had the same conclusions - the quality of this guitar and the issues do not justify the cost of the necessary repairs as they well exceed the value of the guitar. They said the guitar was "too far gone" to re-humidify to correct the sinking top.
No serial number could be found so there is no way to track when the guitar was made and how long it sat around drying out before being sold to me.
This seller Grab the Sale has a 10 day return policy. As a new player I attributed the buzzing issues to just learning and not having callouses built up. By the time it became apparent there was something seriously wrong with this guitar, the return period had passed.
R.W. Jameson guitars are distributed through MDW (Musician's Discount Warehouse). It was MDW's paperwork inside the guitar box that said to contact help@mdwsupport.com if there were any problems with the guitar. I have had extensive contact with MDW. They say they have never heard of Grab the Sale and that GtS is not an authorized dealer for their products. MDW said they might be able to help me in some way if Grab the Sale could provide the bill of sale verifying that they purchased the guitar from MDW. I have no issue with Grab the Sale but they will not acknowledge my emails to help me out with this issue.
MDW did offer to exchange the guitar, however the shipping costs to send it to them in the U.S. from Canada cost way too much. I would also have to pay for shipping the exchanged guitar back to me. And now we are talking about international shipping rates which will be much higher than the original order that was shipped within Canada via Canada Post. With that kind of cost adding up I could have saved myself all the aggravation and just bought a better guitar locally. I don't feel I should have to pay any more for the product I should have received to begin with.
I can't find contact info for R.W. Jameson Company to let them know directly about the problems with this guitar. So right now I own $255.00 worth of firewood. If it were possible to give ZERO stars for this guitar, I would.
