This is a great guitar for beginners

Great guitar for a great price!! Comes with everything you need to tune it, looks beautiful, sounds great, stays tuned. Perfect for anyone regardless of age

Let's level-set: you're buying a guitar that costs less than a proper guitar case. That said, don't let that fool you, this is a great first guitar. There are two cons I've found so far: 1) The action is too high. "Action" refers to the distance between the strings and the fretboard. 2) The neck is bowed in the middle - probably the reason why they make the action so high to accommodate this type of issue. In my opinion, this guitar comes with the wrong strings. Metal strings require significant tension which makes the action issue, worse. For days I tried to tune this guitar and it would not. If a string was in tune when open, it would be sharp when pressed on a fret. Again, this is caused by the high action and the neck bow. You want nylon strings on this guitar and I'd recommend the D'Addario Pro-Arte classical strings that can be found here at Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000OR88ZI or at Sweetwater music store. Note that nylon strings in particular take a while to settle so you will need to retune them often in the first days of use. Be patient with this. I strung my guitar with the D'Addarios and it sounds really good, especially for a guitar at this price level. The terminations are not bad and it looks and feels like a pricier instrument. I'd recommend you remove the strings and carefully wipe the fretboard with a slightly damped cloth to remove some of dried up paint and other bits of stuff left from the manufacturing process. The neck on this guitar is narrow which is great for beginners and those with smaller hands as you won't have to stretch your hand as much. Once you're done replacing the strings and tuning it, Google "3-chord songs" and follow the link for a list of 100 popular songs that are easy to play. Enjoy!

I paid around $55 for this beginners guitar. I'm into my 2nd year of playing and wanted a travel guitar to take around with me and not be concerned if it got dinged up a bit while traveling. This was way better than I expected and cheaper than those practice fretboards that you see around. It was well packaged and came with the following... - a dust cover - extra pack of strings (it was already strung but not tuned) - a pack of 9 guitar picks - a pick holder with adhesive backing to stick it onto your guitar (or strap I guess) - a pitch pipe - an electric tuner that attaches to your guitar - a guitar strap - an adhesive backed plastic plate for the front body where you would normally get scratches from strumming (I don't know what it's called) - knobs for the strap already installed on the body and base of the neck I was able to tune it out of the box (although I'll give it a few days to acclimate to the temperature and humidity of our place) and it holds it quiet well. I purchased the coffee finish which actually is lighter than the photograph (it's more of a cognac color) but is still nice to me. All in all this was an excellent purchase for me. I actually wonder if they just had a warehouse full that they needed to get rid of and threw everything but the kitchen sink in just to clear it out! (I don't think so though because nothing was dusty!) For what I got with it, the instrument quality and the price point I give this one 5 stars.

Bought this for my niece who is now eight years old for her birthday. She absolutely loves it.

I love my guitar! 😊 I bought this guitar a year ago after deciding on a whim that I wanted to learn guitar but not wanting to spend too much money. I was looking for a good starter guitar and this was exactly what I was hoping to find! While you can tell looking closely that this beautiful guitar is cheaply made (for example, the rosette and sound boards are both stickers rather than being built into the guitar. They don't fall or peel off so I don't mind that, but that's one specific difference in quality compared to more expensive guitars), it is good quality for the price, has good sound, and still looks like a serious guitar. (It is a bit smaller than the standard size.) As some others have mentioned, it falls out of tune very quickly, but that felt easy enough to me to resolve with the tuner (included), pitch pipe (included), or by tuning it to a guitar tuning video on YouTube. This also comes with an extra set of strings, 2 different-style sound boards (you choose which to install/put on), a pick holder that you can attach to the guitar (I love this!), a set of picks, a strap, and a case. The case is not padded at all, so be careful, but I've still been able to use it to transport my guitar and am really happy that this guitar came with it because I wouldn't have wanted to spend money on a separate guitar case at this point. The case opens at the bottom and has an adjustable strap and pocket. I haven't used the separate guitar strap because there wasn't something to attach it to the guitar on both sides, but I could have figured this out if I had tried harder. I think there might have been instructions in the other reviews. Oh also, another perk of this guitar is the strings and fingerboard are very comfortable--at least for me. I tried playing a friend's guitar after playing this one, and the strings were spaced a little bit higher above the finger board than this one, meaning it required me to press on the chords harder to play. Playing this guitar was much more comfortable to me by comparison. If you are an intermediate guitar player or more serious than I was about your long-term commitment to guitar, you might want to get a more expensive guitar set. But for someone like me who wants something beautiful and functional but cheap, I leave this with a very definite 5-star review! I am thoroughly satisfied with this guitar set! I love that it is a complete set with everything I needed to get started and an excellent value for the price. I may upgrade someday, or I may be happy with this for my whole life as an amateur guitar player. I highly recommend this guitar. 🤩

I feel that the quality control is questionable. However this guitar package is only $40. That's a pretty good deal for someone just wanting to learn how to play guitar. This might be good for that person who's not sure if they really want to do it or not. The guitar itself came scratched up. But it worked okay. I agree with people who posted their reviews before mine that this guitar is ment for nylon strings and not for steel strings. I kept the steel strings on mine knowing that the bridge could possibly pop off at some point. I just needed a guitar to bang around and to take camping from time to time and not worry about it being destroyed. For the most part it sounds okay. I am worried about the bridge being pulled off eventually due to the tension of the strings. The tuning machine heads are ment for nylon strings. I do like the style of the floral pick guard. The intonation is off on this guitar, it is a bit hard to tune. The tuning flute that came with it is way off. It is complete garbage just throw that away. The electric tuner worked okay. The high e string broke off the second I tried to tune it. I put an electric guitar high e string on it and it seems to work okay for now. Overall this is an okay guitar for a beginner who's not sure if they want to continue playing guitar or it's a good guitar to take camping and bang around. It's just okay. The neck is a bit warped and there is no truss rod. This guitar also smells like glue! If you don't like the smell of super glue don't buy this guitar. The quality of this guitar is definitely mediocre however it's only $40 and it comes with the case in a bunch of pics and some different tuners and also a replacement pack of strings. I guess being this cheap you get what you pay for. It'll work for me for a year or two but then it'll probably break and I'll get rid of it and buy something better.

Muy bueno

Great package deal guitar is perfect size for a 12 year old tuner works great good value for the extra strings picks pick holder strap and tuner but guitar cover is a bit cheap and hard to put on!

Everything one needs to start learning. Beautiful guitar. Love the blue

J’aime la guitare et bon son

The strings don't tune well. They are cheap and break easily. Great for a kid who doesn't care about quality. Pay the extra money to get a guitar with a name brand and will not break apart so fast.

Received package early. Product is what you get in description
