2010s Esteban AL-100 Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar

Overview: Esteban guitars are... cheap! This one was likely sold on QVC or the like back in the day. It may be more like 2000s era but I was generous and called it a 2010s model. This is a plain-Jane, all-ply, dreadnought guitar. It sounds decent and handles decently after a setup but it's not going to win any awards. It's a perfect "truck guitar" or "camping friend" as that ply construction means it's not going to be as fussy in the body as... a nice... guitar.

This one has hilariously-great holographic stuff used at the rosette and the finished of D-42-imitation faux pearl pearloid around the edges of the top.

Repairs included: I gave it a quick setup. It's ready to go, but the fretting around the joint is a little zippy in spots.
