I have yet to meet a Levin player that does not love their guitar so would recommend them unreservedly. They are a bit dubious as an investment - I remember asking a vintage guitar company about mine a few years ago and they were snooty about the marque but there is no doubt about the warm rich sound of every one I have played. The action can get a bit high (just get it fixed) and those individual string bridges were an interesting experiment that just didn't work. Better to get them removed and a decent bridge put in. As many are getting on a bit the sound seems to mellow even more with age. I even erred about buying a classical model in a shop some years ago. It was old, and at the limit of my budget, but sounded fantastic. Went back the next day and it had been sold - Oh flip I said to myself.
