Got Hora SM-10 guitar. Really great guitar and cheap price.



I ordered a Romanian built guitar from Hora - a SM-10
guitar and it was only $120.  
I did get 2 baritone Ukes at the same time which are fantastic at only
$20 a piece - all solid wood.  Shipping adds a bit to the price, but
even at around 60-70 bucks or so more for the guitar portion of
the shipping, I think the
guitar is a bargain - solid top, sides, back.

The SM-10 has Spruce top and Mahogany sides, back.  Bridge appears to
be
wood, plastic saddle, nut.  Medium action - very easy to play.
Guitar was a bit more shallow than standard classical.  Reminded me of
a
good several hundred dollar Yamaha or Takamine in sound.  Not a very
loud guitar in volume, but nice sustain and balanced sound.  I
particularly like the bass on this instrument.  If you like classical
guitars with Mahogany tone coloration, and want an inexpensive guitar
that you would not be afraid to gig with or take outside your home,
this guitar is really nice.

I heard something rattling around inside guitar and found some lose
sawdust
and wood shavings inside the guitar!  I believe this guitar was built
right after I ordered it.

Finally, it is a very attractive looking guitar with the finish and
craftsmanship.

Besides Dave K., has anyone else ordered an instrument from Hora?

One other bargain instrument I have tried is the fairly new Yamaha
Flamenco guitar with laminated sides, back (Cypress, I think) for $300
or so.
