Bought this guitar through Amazon.com after looking at some decent reviews on it and saw that the price is unbeatable. I like the fact that it is small and lightweight, and that it comes with a set of accessories, but I found it hard to tune. I would play a song that would sound 'right' going up the scale but sound 'off' going down the scale. I decided to take a class a month ago, and last week, my instructor tried to tune my guitar, and he said the guitar has an 'intonation' issue, which means that the guitar just wouldn't tune on chords even if the individual strings are in tune. I suspect there are problems with the frets markings. Overall, since I am pretty tolerant and big on cheap bargains, I would say this item is an okay bargain, and if you are unsure about pursuing guitar but need an instrument to try out, then you may want to get this.

(Lakewood, CA USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Beginner 38 Inch Blue Acoustic Guitar with Gig Bag and Accessories (Toy) This guitar is very good, is very solidly made. The extras are the perfect starter kit; come in handy, last for a great while since the guitar is well made I have no need to replace strings. I have had it for 5 months now and it has been a good instrument to me; the guitar keeps up with my rough novice handling; bumps against walls and doorways, and it remains steardy. The color its beautiful, I name it (indeed I did) Luna de Octubre - Octuber Moon. 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful: By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Beginner 38 Inch Blue Acoustic Guitar with Gig Bag and Accessories (Toy) I wanted an acoustic guitar along with my electric guitars yet Im not too enthusiastic about acoustic so I didnt wanna spend alot of money for one. What a mistake to take the chances with this esp after reading so many other bad reviews. This extremely cheap feelin guitar cant even play right no matter how much time you spend tuning it. The strings are not only incapable of being tuned but are too far off the fretboard! THis can literally not be played. I actually gave this to my young cuzin as a toy basically and I think its broke by now. Not cause of him but how could a guitar like this last in anyones hands? The only thing I kept was the non-electric tuner that came with it, which is also a lil crappy. Buying this is throwing money down the toilet...money that you COULD use toward buying a real guitar. |
