Valencia CLASS KIT 1 NA Left Handed Acoustic Package and Instructional DVD

 (7 customer reviews)

I've been playing guitar for over 6 years now; when I first started, I was told to learn how to play right-handed, even though I am left-handed. It was difficult and progress was slow.

I decided to buy this Valencia guitar to ease into playing left-handed, and there is no doubt that the quality of the guitar has been instrumental (pun intended...) in my fast learning. This is the fourth guitar that I own. I own two right-handed electric guitars and one right-handed acoustic, aside from this Valencia.

This Valencia guitar plays better than all of my other guitars; I've been using it for about 8 months, and there are many pros and very few cons. It is solid, I don't have to worry about it breaking. The finish is very nice and is durable; I use this guitar to learn flamenco and it stands up to a lot of abuse from fingernails. After the first week of tuning the guitar, my Valencia keeps an accurate tuning longer than my other guitars, even better than my $800...Read more

We bought this guitar for our son for his tenth birthday and after he played it for about a year, one of the tuning peg gears broke. The little metal ridges that interlock together as you turn the peg simply crushed. He's been very responsible and careful with it so the fault lies in the workmanship. The metal they use must be really poor quality as we have two other guitars in our household and have never seen this kind of thing happen before.
It's worth noting that classical guitars are VERY different than nonclassical accoustic guitars, so you might want to learn about the difference before making your purchase.
All in all, I would recommend a different, more reliable brand such as Ibanez. Due to the gears breaking so quickly, I have to judge the quality of this product as subpar.

Amazon had the best price and not many sites had left handed guitars.It was perfect for my friend.
