New to it all...

I've been playing some of Django's tunes for over 5 years now, but I have never owned a manouche guitar. I am a music student and intend to do a short project on Django's music, so for this reason I'd like to get a (relatively) inexpensive guitar - most likely a Harley Benton HBMC500. I know that for a guitar of this price I shouldn't expect perfection but, still, I would like to know some more about it if possible;

a) How is the playability? I usually upgrade and modify guitars over the years like most people, so as long as it is relatively easy to play from the beginning I'm happy.

b) Do these guitars stay in tune well?

c) Does anyone own one and could tell me a bit about the sound?

My project is starting soon so I will probably have the guitar within a few weeks - just like to know what I'm getting myself in for!

Thanks!
