## Description

Perfect for beginners! This acoustic guitar arrives ready-to-play, right out of the box! This complete kit includes 38-inch guitar, nylon storage bag, shoulder strap, pitch pipe, digital tuner, an extra set of 6 steel strings, 3 picks (of assorted colors), and an instructional sheet. The traditional, classic body style is great for students and teens learning to play guitar. Designed with high-quality tonewoods, the top, back, and sides are crafted from basswood for versatility and warmth with a high-gloss finish for a polished and professional look. This acoustic guitar is ideal for beginners. Featuring (18) finished frets, (6) pre-installed steel strings, easy-to-use tuners, and a comfortable neck. Note, the guitar will arrive out-of-tune because the installed strings are new. This is normal. After the guitar has been played for a few weeks, the strings will begin to stretch and will require less tuning while playing. Dimensions: Overall: 38" Long x 14" Wide x 3.25" Deep Size: 38" Scale Length: 25" Neck Length (nut to body): 12.5" Body Length: 18.25"

Review: Do not buy this guitar. It sounds and looks great, but it can’t be tuned. Other people have noted this in their reviews, but I assumed that they either were not musicians, were inexperienced at tuning, or perhaps didn't realize that new string go out of tune quickly until they stretch out. Actually, they knew what they were talking about. These guitars are not tunable. Teaching someone to play guitar on an instrument that can’t be tuned, is like teaching someone to drive using a car with poor wheel alignment and malfunctioning steering. • I bought two 38" guitars, a blue and a sunburst version. Both had the same problems. If the strings are in-tune when they are open (no chord being fingered) then they will be out of tune when a chord is fingered. If you tune the guitar so that a particular chord is in-tune, then when the strings are strummed while open (no fingers pressing down on them) they will be out of tune. This appears to be due largely to the excessively high action (height of strings over the fret board) of the guitar. When a string is pressed to the fret board, it stretches more than it should, changing the pitch inordinately. I think there are other contributing factors as well, perhaps the frets are slightly misaligned, but I can’t say with certainty. It would not add to the manufacturing cost to eliminate these problems. It is simply a question of basic design and precision. • Excessively high action (height of strings over the fret board) makes fingering chords more difficult. Even for me, playing certain barre chords close to the nut (top of the neck) was a challenge. Standard chords that children will be taught first are all playable, but slightly more difficult than they should be, especially for little hands. • Sound quality, or tone as some people refer to it, is very good. I was surprised. While the guitar does not sound like a Martin (gold standard), it has a bright, snappy sound with plenty of resonance and overtones. It is a steel string guitar (instead of nylon like many starter guitars) and this makes a big positive difference. I enjoyed playing it in this regard. Given the price, it is excellent. I believe that the people who complain about the tone of the guitar, are really hearing the dissonance of poor tuning. If the guitar is tuned perfectly for a single chord, which is possible, it sounds great—pretty cool actually. • The paint jobs are great for kids. They are bright, colorful, and shiny. There are a few minor blemishes and imperfections, but so what. Given the price, they are wonderful. • Electronic digital tuner o Looks nifty, but it is not high quality. After tuning with it, I still needed to make small adjustments by ear. Not a good situation for a beginner player, but probably it is fine. To be fair, a Peterson electronic tuner (gold standard) costs as much as this guitar. o After turning it on, the user must select from chromatic, violin, guitar, bass, and ukulele. It remembers the selection the next time it is turned on, but it is easy to change the selection inadvertently. This is a poor design for children. But almost all tuners are like this. It is an inexpensive way for the manufacturer to provide value. Practically speaking, it is just a nuisance. Most people buy a tuner for a single instrument. o The single control button is extremely awkward and difficult to locate and press. Just a bad design. o Before it can be used, a paper tab needs to be removed from the battery. When the tab is pulled (to remove it) it rips, leaving in the battery compartment paper which still must be removed to activate the device. This happened on each tuner that came with the two guitars I bought. A very, very tiny Phillips head screw locks the battery compartment door. A jeweler’s screwdriver is needed to remove it. • Pitch pipe does not work well at all. A horrific little device, it is difficult to get sound from it. Looks like something they threw-in in a desperate and misguided attempt to compensate for the fact that the guitar cannot be tuned properly. • The guitar comes with a single instruction page (front and back) of useful information, which includes valuable instruction about traditional ways to tune a guitar. While well done, one gets the feeling that it is again a desperate and misguided attempt to compensate for the fact that the guitar cannot be tuned properly. Bizarrely, one side of the page also contains diagrams for fingering many different barre chords. Barre chords are for advanced players. Diagrams of basic chords that beginners need to learn first would be far more useful. • One must conclude that the people who are satisfied with these guitars and don’t return them are themselves not musicians, or don't have a good ear for music. Even an amateur musician should deem these guitars unacceptable.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by U***I on 16 November 2025*

This guitar is good for deciding if you want to commit to learning guitar. The strings and everything work just fine, so one can learn fingerstyle playing and chords, however, the strings are rather buzzy, and in addition with a high action guitar such as this, it is harder on the fingers to play. I used this guitar frequently for about 7 months before deciding that I would like to upgrade to an actual name brand guitar (like Fender, Ibanez, or Rogue). When I would put a regular capo on any fret of the guitar, the low E bass note would become flat, however, with no capo, the string would perform just fine. I went to a guitar center to ask about it, and they hadn't even heard of this brand of guitar. Final Verdict: Yes, the guitar is good value of money if you are looking to see if a guitar would be the right pursuit for you. Looks-wise, the guitar looks nice with a mix of basic and elegant. However, I'd only recommend buying this guitar if you are looking to see if guitar is the right fit for you. If you are looking to buy a guitar that will last you a while, you are better off looking elsewhere as this guitar is better for a trial run rather than a long-term commitment.
