I've seen these advertised a couple of places, and I am a little undecided about them.

On the one hand, I think they got it spot on with highlighting and addressing a few of the issues that make it difficult for new players to get over the initial hump and keep going. Plus they are affordable as well.
But on the other hand, isn't stuff like a comfortable neck, ability to stay in tune and a truss rod that cane be adjusted properly the kind of basics that you would expect a guitar from a reputable maker to have anyway? So are they really offering something new and useful or are they just marketing it very cleverly?
Bit of both I reckon. But what says you.
Gimmick, or a great option for beginners?
