Wow. Now we're talking in my budget range!

Any reviews so far?

How are the bridges on these instruments? Are they suitable or should they be replaced?

MichaelHorowitz

These just came out and I haven't even seen them yet. Saga tells me they're just the same as a D-500 or DG-255. They just saved some $ on the binding (which is plastic) and the wood (Asian Rosewood instead of Indian). But otherwise you're getting the same guitar as the higher priced models. Same workmanship and design. My guess is they'll sound pretty much the same.

Lulo R was playing the GJ-10 at NAMM rather than his own model DG310 and it sounded fine. He seemed to really like it.

I think the descriptions are mixed up on the pages. The oval has the D-hole info and vice versa.

The bullets look correct, but the paragraphs are off.

Does this mean the D model will still have the 1 7/8 ths nut ?

MichaelHorowitz

Yes....it's basically the same guitar.

MichaelHorowitz
