I have to say that I am impressed. While I must admit that I’m a beginner at guitar (I’m a former drummer that can no longer play due to health issues), I learned a lot about guitars from an old band mate. This beginner guitar sounds nice, and is of a better size for me to learn on. I have an old acoustic, but the body is far too large for me.This guitar arrived a little over an hour ago. No nicks, dings, or cracks on it. Checked the screws on the tuning machines, everything was good. Since the headstock is more of a classical style than a regular acoustic, I took off the steel strings that came on the guitar and replaced them with classical strings (nylon – medium tension). While it’s going to take at least a few days for the nylon strings to stretch out enough before they stay in tune, I did get it tuned up for a bit and played a few chords. The guitar sounds wonderful, with a good bit of volume. I think I’ll enjoy learning on this guitar.If you decide to get this guitar and go with nylon strings (which you should), unless you go with ‘ball end’ strings, you might have to look up how to ‘tie’ the nylon strings onto the guitar, as some nylon strings that you can get will not come with a ball end. I had helped do this on a guitar decades ago, but needed a refresher course, and found the information online easily enough.The reason I say you should use nylon strings is because they require less tension than the normal steel strings. Since this guitar does *not* have a truss rod, you want to go with strings that do not need as much tension. Using steel strings can cause problems with the bridge piece (breaking or coming off), the neck (warping), and the tuning pegs. You might be able to get away with using light or super light tension steel strings, but that’s your choice. I’m sticking with the nylon strings. They bring out the sound that I want from this guitar. They’re also easier to learn with as a beginner, as they don’t hurt your fingertips as much. Yes, it will take longer to build up the callouses on the fingertips, but hey…less pain when learning can be a good thing.But again, for an inexpensive guitar, this one is a good deal. As with any instrument, if you’re not sure if you, or the person you get it for, are going to maintain interest in learning the instrument…going with an inexpensive instrument like this is always the best idea.As for the other bits that come in this package…the picks are good, the case is good enough to keep dust off the guitar, the strap is not all that great, and the tuner is pretty much garbage because the battery cover does not want to stay on (I have another one just like it, and it has the same problem), and the pitch pipe is ‘meh’. The main thing you want in this package is the guitar. Just get some better strings, a good tuner (I have a ‘Snark’ that wasn’t expensive), and a decent guitar strap…and you’re set.

I love the size and the color. He immediately took it out when he got it and tried to play it. He needs lessons, but he was thrilled with it.

Our Grandson is a beginner, we have all played instruments in our family. He picked out this one for his first. The last one we ordered came broken.

I purchased this for my husband, for Father’s day!! He has 2 acoustic guitars, an has been saying he would like a electric guitar aswell, So I found this one for a great price! An we gave it a shot, he loves it!! The quality is great! The sound is perfect! An the color is amazing!! I picked the dark blue with the white base plate, It’s nice, came in extra protection! They took pride packaging this guitar! The strings was already on it, all u had to do is tighten them an get it to tune… Things we don’t like is the volume on the amp, gets staticky when you turn it up between 4-8… But nothing that can’t be fixed bye another amp, an honestly that’s nothing serious!! It’s a great buy!

I bought this guitar for my son, who wants to learn to play for his new baby daughter. I did not know what to expect at the price, especially because it does not have truss rod. I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived. It is actually a pretty guitar and is well constructed. Since it is a 4/5 scale it is very light, which is a plus. The most positive and surprising thing of all is the way it holds a tune, which it does just about as good as any Fender. (Fenders are known for exceptionable tuning stability.) It can sit for a week and still be in tune when you pick it up. A big plus. It also has a very nice tone, and is super easy to play. The only criticisms I have is that the tuners are not the best; they work well but are a little stiff, I would consider replacing them with some better ones. At this price, not a big deal because, as I said, it holds a tune beautifully. The other is that there really is no way to get the fingers of an adult hand to the frets above the octave, because the body joins at that point. The accessories are fine, although inexpensive. What do you expect at this price? But my bottom line is that it: A. Tunes easily and holds tuning beautifully, B. It has a very decent sound, C. Is an attractive, well constructed instrument, D. It is very easy and fun to play. If you have a student who thinks they might want to learn guitar, but don’t want to risk hundreds, it may be just right for you. It is definitely good enough for a student to use, and you might even end up wanting to play it yourself.
