The Barcelona 38 inch Cutaway Acoustic Guitar is a good by for beginners. The sound quality is the only thing i noticed that's a little bad but other then that its a great buy. Stays in tune and looks great. All in all, it was a good buy.

this is a great guitar forthe price.some minor flaws in the finish and the back bridge is alittle high.comes with some cheap strings.but for $40,its great.has a very full and rich sound equal to most full size guitars once you change the strings.stays in tune well also.if I had to rate it compared to other guitars I would give it a 2.5-3 stars but for the price its 4stars.I had just bought a guitar from target,paid $85 it was cheap junk.would not stay and tune and sounded terrible.I took it back and decided to take a chance with this one.and I am very glad I did.3 times better and half the price,plus free shipping!!!!!
