Great value, great sounding with the right strings
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!

Beautiful Starter Guitar!
I love my guitar! ๐ 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. ๐คฉ

Greatest guitar ever...
This is one of my favorite guitars, besides the red Squier Strat, but it is technically my first guitar, and I love it. It functions perfectly, although steer clear from the electric tuner, because I was trying to tune with it, and one of the strings snapped on me, and I nearly threw the guitar, I'd recommend the fender tuning app. It's easy to use once tuned, and I personally like the hummingbird pickguard it comes with, but the other one is good too. The picks are good too, I like thicker picks, and the guitar strap works good too. It plays amazing, and I would recommend it to anyone trying to get a guitar for cheap.

ok, build...but sucky strings and cheezy accessoies.
id give it a five star if it came with like 3 packs of earnie ball strings, slicks, rough wind, and nylons..... also put more of the production cost into really good strings and just quit wasting money on the crappy little doo dadds like 2 sticker back pick guards, i dont use picks period let alone need a pile of every thickness known to man.! lol and the stupid car horn sounding tune flute thing..... cliche` may i say...(dr seuss) the strap is useless and just crappy nylon strapping, like not even soft. besides straps are to be chosen by the user at an in person music store, when ya get good like i am, the strap and the feel of it is very personal. so excluse it and if you gonna use crappy strngs in the set, make them the ones for spares, cuz the extras were way prettier sounding.. POINT IS, GREAT DEAL FOR NICE GUITAR. IT SEEEMS A BIT SMALL , BUT NOT KID SIZE...WHICH IS NICE ACTUALLY. but buy the very best stings you can find, and get a few types, its a smaller frame and definatly benifits from very light or nylons. sliks are a good choise because they bring some tin trebble into the bass and mution that this body produces, and it wont make the screech sound as you move up and down wich make a begginner sound better faster, most learners slide to tthe next chord and pros usually lift more than beginners, using the coiled string rasppy screech to the benifit to the song or style and controls the ammount precisely, but to a begginner i feel the sliding sound on rough strings make them feel less confident,.... i just saying drop all the junky gadgets(OTHER THAN THE DIGITAL TUNER) , the tuner is great! it even has optional intrumnents and drop chord tunes and stuff which ANYNE WOULD LOVE...ITS A GREAT GUITAR WITH CRAPPY STRINGS, Needs a better case too but it works great for a first or beater guitar, its just not easy to load the guitar from the bottom of the condom like case, but its ok, if the company would just send top end strings and a didital tuner that already comes with it and made the case zip all the way to the top at least istaead of the bottom only, this would be worth 3 times more....so thinking about buying it? heres my advise.... BUY IT, then order yourself some diffeing types of HIGH quality strings iin the very light side of string and get some full or partial nylons...and for times sake a guitar key peg spinner tool....iys just a lillte l shaped thing that makes it very fast to turn the keys to wind up the slack of a new string set....(MAKE SURE YOU LEARN ON YOUTUBE ATLEASTBEFORE RE STRINGING) it sounded ok with the second set of strings and amazing now i bought a fifteen dollar pack od ultra light earnie ball classical partial ny set.... this guitar is small enough for about a 7 8 yr old but large enough for me to just pick at all day and drag around in the truck and feel comfortable just taking a hour to sit on my tail gate and watch sunset in the smokey mountains and pick some blues, and for 50 buck i dont worry about little scratches and stuff like i do on my 2000 dollart fender. but double the money too 100 , juts get a low end fender

Excellent Value for the price
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.

It is ok for a child beginner student.
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.
