I bought one of the "open box" guitars. Have not played it yet as the action at the 12th fret is about 3/8". The top is bowed so that no amount of material removal of the bridge will compensate. Am working on getting the top as flat as I can before attacking the bridge. I have hopes that I can get it into playable condition. Even a "student quality" guitar should be playable, or how would a student know they would want to progress?

.I bought the cedar top version at first but it was damaged in transit so I returned it and decided to go with the spruce version. I was a little concerned about the action being to high because I had purchased the cg192c and the action was totally unacceptable. However, I was able to sand down the saddle with enough remaining to get the action I wanted, I've owned more expensive s {cg 180 and 201s}, and I actually prefer the tone of the cg162s because of its lighter build; it has more clarity and better balance. Also, I think a lot of the so called "defects" are really accidents that happened in transit or are a result of poor storage conditions , especially warpage. I wouldn't buy an open box classical. I should also mention that the top has an amazingly tight grain all the way out to the edges. The ovankol back and sides look very much like rosewood,
