Well crafted instrument, finish is satin, which I don't really care for. This is a small guitar, but tuned right up and held tune well. Full rich sound. Reminds me of an old Orpheum I had many years ago - which was my favorite of all time. Hope this is as nice.

The gig bag is extremely well done. I would say - best you could do short of a hard shell. In fact, better than a cheap hardshell.

Glad I bought it.

i can play any song i want on it. i have a 500 dollar gutar and there is no difference

This guitar is amazing in more ways than one. The wood is beautiful and expertly assembled, and the whole instrument itself is lightweight and practical. The guitar gives out a very twangy sound when played, the good kind you only hear in the best of acoustic guitars. The craftsmanship is superb and you can see that the manufacturers put their heart and soul into every instrument they make. The guitar came with a snug, thick soft case, many guitar picks, a capo, a set of spare strings, and two cloths to keep things clean and beautiful. I rate this guitar a 10/10, the best acoustic guitar I've owned thus far.

This guitar came to me in a sturdy gig bag. I love the feel of this guitar. It sounds bright and crisp. The fret board is finger friendly and I was impressed with the playability. I HIGHLY recommend this guitar. I am amazed at how crisp the highs are and how booming the bass is. As a predominately acoustic player and vocalist, I love how this instrument compliments my musical style. I play Harry Chapin and James Taylor, The Eagle's etc...and this guitar truly shines.
It came with a set of extra strings, picks and a cleaning cloth as well as a luggage tag. Nice to know I have what I need to keep it playing and grooving and it came as part of this package!
I am impressed and happy with this purchase. I think you will be too.

I've played guitar for around 20 years now, though I just recently picked it up again after a fairly long hiatus due to moving, work, life in general, etc. I was looking for an inexpensive guitar to get back into the game again, but I have pretty high standards since I worked in a music store for a while in my youth and learned a lot about guitars and what goes into making a guitar "good". So, I was looking for a solid top dreadnaught to noodle around with at home, and I came across this Antonio Giuliani on Amazon. Hadn't heard of the name before, but the reviews and specs made me curious enough to add it to my short list, and eventually I decided to give it a go and picked it up out of all the ~$500 guitars on the market.

First off, when it arrived I was impressed by the build quality. Everything about it felt smooth and slick, no warping, sharp edges on the frets, and the gloss finish didn't feel heavy or burdensome on the body. Tuners were tight and felt accurate and strong, and best of all the guitar didn't smell like a canoe. Even though there was some glue smell, you could still smell the wood itself and the glue seams inside the body were clean and neat. The gig bag that comes with the bundle is a VERY nice soft case, you could easily spend around $100 on a bag this nice, so that's a big bonus as well. Strings and picks in the bundle are meh, but that's an easy/cheap replacement and not really an issue as far as I'm concerned.

Right out of the box, the DN-5 had great tone. Deep and rich with a good balance of highs mixed in to give it definition and clarity without sounding muddy. This has been enhanced further by using brighter strings after I've changed them around a few times since I bought it (using 80/20 bronze now, and it is super crisp and clean). But, for me the best thing is that this guitar feels alive in your hands. You can feel each note resonate through the body into your chest and it gives you a little thump on the chest when you hit a hard strum. The neck transmits these vibrations up into your left hand and arm as well and it really makes you feel connected to the music in a way I've seldom felt with most guitars. I've had this guitar for over a year now, and as with all solid top guitars, it's aging beautifully and the tone is developing more and more nuance.

In summary. This guitar is inexpensive, but NOT cheap. There's a level of craftsmanship usually seen in guitars that cost nearly twice as much as this one. You get a LOT of bang for your buck from Antonio Giuliani, and it is worth every penny. Big names are all fine and good, but sometimes you find a gem in the smaller brands, and this is one of those.
