Warning: probably not what you think! Definitely overyhyped - read through carefully

I own this guitar and there is more than meets the eye!
First of all the most important, the acoustic sound: not impressive at all and lacks "the body"/fullness. I have literally played all the chord shapes in in most common positions and solo pulgar/apoyando on each string and have been comparing it to guitars in similar price range(with or without pickup) and this guitar sounded a much much thinner compared to the others (was lucky to get my hands on a few Camps guitars in the similar price range - this compared to them was sounding like a ukulele). Where this guitar shines is the equilibrium between lows/mids/highs in all dynamic ranges volume/"quality" wise. Now ask yourself openly - is that really what you want? I got this guitar for like 98% pure strumming/arpeggio accompaniment, but no way I would be playing flamenco/classical guitar (solo guitar) on this instrument, that would be just completely uninspiring tbh.
Other thing to talk about is the neck - is has very pronounced radius/curvature! It is very different from normal flamenco or classical guitars that have almost no radius there, so your strokes WILL sound quite different! From this standpoint this guitar is an "an acoustic" guitar with nylon strings.
About the overall quality, make no mistake this is a factory product. I have tried two of these guitars(one had flawed electronics), About the frets, I must say they were both very nicely in tune(which is great) but both were buzzing quite a bit(one more than the other) and this will definitely take another hidden expenses to make it not to buzz(not talking about flattening the radius, which I will undergo as well). Also the bridge plate is from some plastic so that will go away as well. Mechanics might be squeeking(the wooden part - I have of course oiled the gears in the mechanics but it did not go away) which I do not mind so much but it is important to mention(at this price I would not expect this.).
Pickup is nothing extra, I would prefer different one or none at all.

So to sum up: I would called this instrument ELECTRO-ACOUSTIC-FLAMENCO FUSION FACTORY GUITAR - good for a simple accompaniment and as a backup guitar/second guitar u do not have to worry about but with hidden costs(you need to fix the buzz + optionally new bridge plate/straightening the neck radius/better pickup), and just unsuitable for solo playing.
