I'm thinking about getting the honey burst, but when I looked up this same guitar on sweetwater.com, it looked a lot different. Is the picture right?

It is the correct guitar. Just bad coloring on this image the guitar will be darker then this picture.

The picture is of less quality on amazon.. Sweetwater has a more accurate picture.. On my guitar the dark part around the edge is actually a lot more dark honey in color. and not so much red as in the sweetwater picture. This doesn't mean that the color doesn't vary a bit between guitars.... Mine is beautiful and I get many compliments.. I bought on Amazon.

Yes, I believe the photo on Amazon is correct. I have the Vintage Sunburst and it's pretty. I think the Honeybees will be as well.

Sean, my honeyburst Plustop Pro looks like the one on the sweet water site. More dark around the edges than what you see on this Amazon link. I don't think the picture is right. What that looks like is the Iced Tea finish.

It looks just like the Sweetwater's pics. The Amazon pic doesn't look right, maybe bad lighting. The Sweetwater pics are pretty true to color.

Hahaha it's a real guitar. I know the price is shocking but it works. I would suggest changing out the strings when you get it though, they are cheap as a peep. Good beginner acoustic though

Personally I have only been taking lessons for 8 months now. I heard about this guitar from a friend of mine who has been playing for years and was in a band. He raved about this guitar which made me try it. I have had mine since May and I love it. I am really surprised how good it sounds and looks. It is a full size guitar however for an acoustic it is on the thin side. I did take this guitar to my local guitar shop and had them lower the action which made it so much better for my taste. It sounds good through an amp but I am guessing that is more of an opinion. There are no obvious problems with it. Hope this helps. Personally I have only been taking lessons for 8 months now.

Well mine was Ok not perfect but good for the price,I had to do a little work setting it up but its the same with all guitars.I ordered mine from the UK amazon site and it came from Germany.It might be worth trying a different supplier as I guess they vary a bit from batch to batch.Overall I am please with mine and use it regularly.

Yeah it is. Or was, rather. Let me tell you, the design is a little sub-par. The head broke off in a matter of months. A combination of some rough-handling (not on my part, to be fair) and lack of proper support. You get what you pay for, certainly. It's a really good guitar, for sure. Just be a little extra careful with it.

i have this guitar.its not bad. i learned basic, open chord guitar from youtube also. been playing over a year now. its a good starter guitar. just make sure any guitar u get has a good, straight neck and u'll be good to go. try to get bright d'adarrio strings on it for great sound.they are sturdy/long lasting strings too. a great beginner song to learn is 'down by the water.' by the decemberists. and 'sweet pea' by amos lee.

In my opinion it is a shoddy-built guitar with a famous name. The shoddiness is in the neck to body sturdiness - terrible sound as a result. Almost impossible to keep tuned. Yes, the name does mislead you.

I ordered a Recording King about a year ago, it arrived, I played it and before 10 days were up I sent it back. It was not the quality I was looking for. So, I'm sorry, I don't know the widest part of this guitar. I got something better for a slightly less price.

I don't know about guitar honey but I really like the fast fret. You have to put a little pressure when you wipe the strings but it gets all the finger oil off and keeps the strings sounding bright. The oil conditions the fret board too. So overall I'm happy with the product .

Hello! I got Valencia CL-160 couple of months ago. Honestly, I'd rather pay two times more and get a cheaper version of Cordoba or Yamaha. (I have Yamaha 3/4 and it sounds brilliant).The guitar is rough and sound like a piece of wood. Strings are too high and you can't adjust them because there is no key hole. Electronic part is very cheap - the sound is awful. As usual: you're getting what you payed. Sorry for such a negative comment!

Indoneisa, i wouldnt worry about that tho, if u want a nice acoustic for cheap this is the guitar. It resonates really nice almost like it has an effect. Also, the fret job isnt that bad wich i thouhht it would be when i was purchasing. Its smaller than you think tho so make sure u know what scale guitar yoir looking at before u buy this, it suprised me but im still very sattisfied

Note- I personally have this exact guitar.And it is better looking in your hands then in the pic.

It has the same model number. I can only assume it's the same. The only difference is that one comes bundled with a couple of accessories. These accessories aren't the best quality, but it is a good starter kit. If you're going to end up getting your own accessories, then skip the bundle and just go with the standalone guitar.

Hell Michael! I purchased the resonator a while back and learning to play slide and old Blues. In my opinion, this guitar has outstanding tone and sound, especially when using a glass slide. I have played with the brass piece and find the glass to be a better choice and overall sound. I have gone onto the internet for lessons and find there are several individuals willing to share their talent and ideas. Good luck to you!

I had a 52 Tele sold on (eBay) and there is no diff except that it is MIM. Excellent Guitar. I put a GE Smith 1/2 tele bridge on mine (eBay), Jerry Donahue Alnico II APT3Jd/APT1R pups (eBay) with the 4-way mod w/capacitors etc., (eBay); and a BBender /GBender Hipshot (eBay). Now its a $1500 custom shop Badass Moten-Gator Monster !!! ~skygod~ :)

There is a very slight difference with my regular guitar. Less than 1 mm. I can't tell the difference when I'm playing it. Probably also true between guitars of different makes, etc. If it bothers you, it's easy enough to have a new nut made, or make it yourself.

You could TRY to do that...doubtful it would come anywhere near as nice as this one. Then there is the fact this was issued by Fender as a special , limited run package. That alone adds extra worth to the guitar. But imo, the guitar itself is of such quality through and through, that is the top reason if you needed some kind of justification, etc...The frets in particular feel a bit larger and more comfortable than a stock MIM tele to me.
