Reviews
Perfect Size & Quality
"This is the perfect size for my daughter who wants to learn to play guitar. I feel like the quality exceeds expectations and it's the perfect starter guitar we were looking for."

Highly recommend
"This an outstanding choice for new players. It provides everything you need to start your musical journey, including a capo, strap, extra strings, and a gig bag. The guitar is easy to play and offers a smooth, enjoyable experience, making it perfect for beginners of all ages. The sleek black gloss finish adds a touch of style, while the included accessories make it even more convenient. Whether you're learning on your own or with lessons, this kit offers excellent value and quality. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to start playing acoustic guitar!"

Beginner guitar
"This guitar is awesome for beginners who are curious if this instrument is for them or not. The quality of this guitar compared to price is very much on par. My son took an interest in guitars so he's been happy playing around with this. It's a nice looking simple guitar. I have no experience with guitars in general but I'd say it tunes decent. It sounds good even though my son doesn't know what he's doing yet. So far it has held up well and he's very happy with it."

Does not stay in tune
"Guitar does not stay in tune. Typical wide classical guitar neck. When tuned, sounds ok, but must be constantly tuned. Should have returned it, but bought ot for a friend and couldn't get everything with it back together in time."

Kinda torn
"I'm an adult beginner. Never played an instrument. I think the body of the instrument is a nice quality. Feels solid and not like a toy. Problem is the strings. It DOES NOT HOLD A TUNE. You can get it in tune and 5 minutes later it'll be out of tune. Very frustrating because you can't tell if it's your playing/fingering or the guitar that is making it sound wrong. I bought new nylon strings for GBE strings and that seems to help but it goes flat instead of out of tune. For the money on something that I'm not 100% sure I'll stick with as far as playing guitar is concerned this is a decent purchase. The tuning is a big hurdle. It does come with everything you need to start playing though. So maybe 3. 5 stars."

The size
"At first, I had to tune it everyday I use it and found out from guitar specialist that new strings will need to be tuned often, so I am supposed to do it before every practice. Np, I use ‘Simple Tune' App, very easy to use and has nice songs. I am a 66 yr old woman, always wanted to learn, now retired, perfect opportunity! Love this guitar for the size and ease of moving from chords to chords! I had a regular 36 one, bought it like 10 yrs ago but can never stretch fingers far enough for chords, so it was gathering dust. I have been using this for 12 days out of 14, enjoying it so much, learned 10 songs already! Go to YouTube, so many good instructors for beginners! Good luck, you all!"

Fine with tweaks
"I bought this guitar to learn on after I found a full sized dreadnought too big for me. This is a very cheap guitar. Obviously, you get what you pay for. The strings that come on this are awful. They cannot hold tuning at all and make it sound like a toy. I replaced the strings with an $8 set from Ernie Ball and it sounds and plays so much better. I also had to file down the plastic part of the bridge. Both the bridge and the nut are plastic, and the bridge is way too high. Once I filed grooves in it for the strings, they sit much better. The default bridge height makes this guitar much harder to play. All of that said, you aren't likely to find a new guitar any cheaper and with my tweaks it's a decent learning instrument."

Great for beginners!
"I bought this for my son who just started instruments in school and this is great quality for the price. We love the sound quality and it is lightweight for kids to play easily. Super sturdy so you don't have to worry about it breaking."

Great for beginners
"I have always been wanting to learn how to play guitar. As an adult, this was a decent size for me as I didn't need a smaller one. The handcrafted wood I can tell was made with good material. The size is Total Length: 39""; Scale Length: 25. 6""; Total Body Length: 19""; Frets: 19 Frets; Total Dimensions: 39"" L x 14. 76"" W x 4. 53"" H. The nylon strings make it easy on a beginner like me to have good music sound from the guitar. I am so glad I got this guitar to learn how to play. It was so easy to pick up and start learning how to play."

My take on this 30"" classical guitar
"I have been playing the heck out of this 1/4 size classical nylon guitar and it's time for my review. I am no beginner. I call myself a guitar hack, as my technical knowledge of music theory is um, spotty. I am a full sized 71 year old adult 5'8"" with average sized hands. I enjoy playing the smaller sized guitars and never expected this little guy to boom out like a 41"" dreadnot guitar. It has a 20"" scale and is 30"" end to end. It arrived quickly and I saw no visible damage. As for tuning it? I need to say we live on the big island Puna District. We leave our windows open always."
