The sound is good, but thanks to physics, you won't get the same full bodied sound out of a 3/4 guitar as a full size dreadnaught. To compensate and give the guitar a little more volume, they round out the back a bit so it isn't perfectly flat.

Just thought I'd mention that so you don't feel too let down when you hear the sound.

Since you are starting out, I think you should try to focus more on comfort, the guitar's ability to be tuned (no play in the tuners), stay in tune, and is properly intonated.

Good luck...and have fun!
