This review is from: 38" BLACK Acoustic Guitar Starter Package (Guitar, Gig Bag, Strap, Pick, eBook)

Despite some other reviews, i received the guitar on the first date of the estimated delivery.

Out of the box, it did smell a little like a chemical, but by the next day the smell was gone.

The guitar came with a Strap, a Pick, a set of strings, a harmonica, a pitch pipe, and a gig bag. However, i never got the eBook.

The strap is very cheap looking, and short, which doesn't surprise me considering the price of the whole set. The pick is, well it's a pick, nothing really special about it. The set of strings looks good, it comes with all six, although there's no easy distinction between which string being which. The harmonica is okay, it's bigger than i expected, but it works, i don't know much about harmonicas, so i can't really review that. The pitch pipe is in tune, although i doubt they make pitch pipes that don't play the right pitches. Finally, the gig bag is very thin, and the guitar fits snugly into the bag.

The guitar itself is a great quality sound-wise. No fret buzz, very clean and pretty-sounding. But when it comes to the physical features of the guitar, it has more flaws. It looks like it was spray painted black. The fret markers look like little dots made using a paintbrush and white paint. There are places where you can tell the paint dripped, and there's white on some parts of the fingerboard, and black splotches of paint closer to the body, on the fingerboard.

All in all, i think this guitar is worth every penny. It was made clear that there guitars are mass produced, which explains the physical properties lacking. But it's great for starters, and being a starter package, it's meant for beginning guitar players. I would recommend this guitar to anyone who has never picked a guitar up and wants to learn, as long as they don't mind the looks of the guitar.

The guitar arrived very soon.

A strong smell of chemical something came out on the first day, so I have leave it untouched for 2 days.

The 3rd string was broken. Luckily they give a free set of string, so I could replace the 3rd string by myself.

No e-book.

The bag is OK.

Having sad that, considering the unbelievable low price, the guitar itself is not bad.

The shipping for this item even though I paid extra for 2 day shipping took a week and a half. When I got the product the packaging was iffy and was left on my porch in the rain. There were also item that were advertised that were not in the package. After a slow response from the company, I finally received the items 2 weeks later. All in all the product was fine considering the price but they need work on their customer service.
