The tone on mine isn't nearly as clear as others have praised. The upper strings are fine, but low E and A sound really crunchy. Anyone else?

Mine did too, and the battery goes out so quick it isnt even funny, the crunchy factor though thats just the bass and resonance of the strings

You can try adjusting the neck or may be a flaw in a fret. Mine was great out of the box with just a little adjustment in the action.

not really--I had to screw around with mine quite a bit--even the bigsby tailpiece was crooked and I had to reset it --it was off by a whole 1/4 inch which in turn screwed up the intonation at thew bridge--took me awhile to figure out what was wrong but now it plays like a winner--mine came from- american music supply- so I don't know if any of the mail-order places actually set it up before it gets sent out--hope that helps

Try a different guitar and cord. If it is the amp, then you got a dud. Mine has almost no static or fuzz. Send it back to amazon for a replacement because it is a great amp for the price.

If you tune it like a regular guitar, e.b. EADGBE, the strings end up being too floppy to play well. Tune to ADGCEA which is transposed "up a fourth" or like a guitar with capo on 5th fret.

Probably, I find it noisy in the effects loop of my amp. Not so much directly into input.

That's usually an issue with one of the frets being either too high, or not high enough when playing. I LOVE my Luna, it has a fantastic sound quality and keeps it's tune better than any of my former ukes, no to mention how simple it is to plug in the pickup for amplification. However, the E string on mine does buzz a bit, so I put tape (well, actually I cut up a mailing label) on the problematic fret and it works fine, I just have to replace the tape every once and a while. But it's an easy and cheap solution. Some say putting super glue right on the fret works longer term, but I'm too scared to try it.

Mine has been fine. For the price I paid, I feel it is a good value. Not a top flight guitar but for a beginner/novice or for a knock around guitar, good choice.

I have had the best luck with the Medium and Light Medium strings. I had a buzzing sound on my high strings and by mixing medium and light strings, was able to resolve my problem. For your situation, I would recommend the medium strings.

Mine hisses. its not a loud hiss tho.... i only really play on the clean setting. You can get a pedal that reduces hiss.

Mine sounds great, only on volume number 22. I played MP3 via a flash drive, sounds really good, even at higher volume.

I purchased mine a year ago and it does have this flaw your mentioning. I brought it in the US and brought it with me to Argentina so I couldn't change it or anything like that. Right now the solution I've found is plug in the guitar to a DI box and then to the Focusrite. That way I get a very pristine sound without that annoying whistle.

Seems to me to have excellent bass but have not directly compared to the ones that you mentioned.

Might actually have the opposite effect. Heavier strings would sound deeper, but those backpackers necks might not like the heavier gauge when you tighten them up. Maybe try changing just the thinnest strings (G-B-E) to heavier gauges?

I have had mine for 2 years now, and have found the bass soften over that time as the diaphragms were worn in. at the start I found them slightly too much bass but that has changed with some time.

Mine sounds awesome. I couldn't be more please for the price to quality ratio. I've had a few of my fellow players comment on it's good sound. I can't, of course, say what yours might sound like but I'm pleased with mine and have had it for quite a while now ... good luck

It's okay but it sounds boxey. It sounds better thru a PA or an acoustic amp as there are more highs and lows. Taylor make a really great version of this type of guitar but at triple the price. I'm still foolin' around with it but I feel it has great potential.
