• Consistently high quality wood: the neck is made of maple, the fingerboard is made of expensive Indian rosewood. Inexpensive models are made of nato (mahogany from the East), agathis can be used, alder wood is used for the most prestigious ones.
• Some uniformity in the number of frets is compensated for by the fast, smooth and high-quality tuning, the durability and quality of the tuning mechanism, the ability to keep the tuning at the desired level, and a reliable screw fastening of the neck.
• Scale 24 inches, excellent sound (full, rich and dense), very small, low background level.

Among the advantages are the stability and strength of the under-string bridge, the string is aligned along the entire length, which advantageously increases the possibilities of vibrato.

Determining the subject of preference is not difficult, especially with such a wide range of proposals at your disposal. First, a beginner musician decides what kind of instrument he needs - acoustic, electric guitar or electro-acoustic. Some of the professional musicians were forced to purchase the products of this brand due to the lack of expensive and popular brands, but subsequently they did not change their subject of preference, even with significant funds. In the store, it is recommended to show more courage - to tune the guitar, to evaluate its sound already in its normal state.

Sometimes the main arguments in favor of purchasing are weight and convenience, the original shape of the body and your favorite color, but the main criterion is the breadth of possibilities and a deep, rich sound. All this, plus the build quality and precious woods for manufacturing, are in the Greg Bennett brand. You need to pay attention to the shape of the head and body, the distance between the frets, as well as other small details that are usually not given importance - the convexity and integrity of the body, reliable fastening of the bridge under the strings.
