Here is what you need to know about me before you read the rest of my review: I am a pretty musical person. I play keyboards and ukulele, and decided that I would like to venture into the challenge of learning guitar. Also, you should know that I am visually impaired. I can see, but not very well at all. Kind of like Mr. Magoo.

Here is everything that came in the box and what I think of it:

1. The Guitar: Beautiful color. I thought it was going to be a lighter blue color, but mine kind of looks purple, which is nice because that’s my favorite color. I’m not sure if this was intentional or a mix-up at the factory, but I am content. There were a few dings in the finish, but that’s OK with me. I’m not taking it out in public for performances any time soon.

2. The “gig bag:” I like the straps on the gig bag. You wear it like a backpack, which is handy, actually. Also, it has a pocket on the front where you can keep your extra strings, your tuner, and your picks, if you want. It’s kinda cheaply made, but hey, I only paid .95 or something like that. I’m not complaining in the slightest.

3. Tuner: I was a little concerned when I saw that it would come with a tuner. I thought that it would be a visual display to help you tune the string. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the tuner in question was actually a pitch pipe, with six different pitches to blow, one for each string. Love that part of the deal! Wish I had one of these for my ukulele, but I’m not complaining.

Strings: Ah, yes, well, here is the one flaw in this otherwise acceptable arrangement. I was tuning the G string when it snapped. The pitch was still too low, but the string just snapped. So I thought to myself, “OK, no big deal, I have a spare.” Upone replacing that string and attempting to tune it, the replacement string snapped as well. I have since ordered a new set of strings, so that I’ll just replace them all so I know what I’m dealing with. I only knew that the strings were steel and I didn’t know the gage or anything else about them, so I’m just going to replace them all and then I’ll know what I have next time one breaks.

My overall opinion of this product is that it is a good guitar to start with, to learn on. It doesn’t have to be perfect if you are just learning in the comfort of your own home or in the company of an instructor who isnt’ going to look down on you or anything like that. If you are going to buy this product, I do highly reccommend that you buy a new set of strings, since there is no way to be sure what strings are already on the guitar. Thankfully, strings, even steel ones, can be pretty cheap. I got mine for . I also bought some extra picks, but that’s nothing to do with the one that came with the guitar. Oh yeah, did I mention the kit only comes with one pick? You might also want to buy some extra picks just in case. I got a 12 pack of blue ones for or thereabouts. But this is a good product, and it shipped out really fast, even with only standard shipping. I was happy about that.

Happy playing!

Trust me, when I seen this guitar for sale I just knew it was going to be a crappy guitar, but I ordered it anyway since I’m a beginner (18 years old) When it came, I didn’t expect it to be bigger then me(expected a tiny children guitar) and it plays beautifully(I just need lessons) You can not and I mean can NOT beat this price for such a great deal. A beautiful guitar, carrying case, guitar pick, and a tuner. You won’t be sorry.

I finally received the guitar today, the shipping process is killing me, it arrived on time though.

This is a guitar most professional musician would not even consider, due to it’s price and everything. And its built quality is not perfect for critical scrutiny, if I’m honest.

Yet, from a nonprofessional point of view, this guitar sounded as good as any of the other guitars I have tried my hand on, that’s what really matters. And when you hold it in your hand, it feels like you are holding a genuine guitar, not some kind of children’s toy. The size of it makes it a stardard practice-guitar(38″), thus no one would took it unserious due to the size of it. It looks kinda cool, too.

Therefore, I recommend this guitar to those who just started or considering to start play guitar, this guitar is not perfect but way good enough for you to practice on. After all, it is not the instrument that makes you a professional musician, it’s the practice of it.
