Fast shipping. I ordered it on a Friday night and received it the following Tuesday ( I believe FedEx's next working day was used so would not get delivered during the weekend). I bought the guitar based on the many online reviews since I could not find a local guitar shop to try it. I am very pleased with the purchase. The guitar feels and plays beautifully. The guitar is a bit heavier than other acoustics I have owned so far but this is absolutely fine for me. I highly recommend this guitar and, finding a local shop and giving it a try would be great.
