I was interested in learning to play guitar and was looking for an inexpensive item to begin with. If you or your kids are the type of people who (like me) would want to play around with things before actually going in for an expensive equivalent, this is a guitar you can start with.

2.0 out of 5 stars You Get What You Pay For
Overall, I was very disappointed in this item; there's a reason it's such a cheap price and they're trying to get rid of them.

2.0 out of 5 stars You Get What You Pay For, May 25, 2005
This review is from: Beginner 38" Blue Guitar with Carrying Bag and Accessories
Overall, I was very disappointed in this item; there's a reason it's such a cheap price and they're trying to get rid of them. It's a smaller guitar than I expected, and the strings are poor quality nylon -- the 1E string snapped on me as I was tuning it, five minutes out of the box. Also, because it doesn't have a trust board, you can't restring it steel strings. The "tuner" it comes with is just a pitch pipe (with a tinny sound at that), and the other "accessories" aren't as great an added advantage as you'd think. Personally, I returned this after the string snapped on me. I'd recommend this guitar only if you're an absolute beginner, and even then, you'd probably want to learn on something a little more durable than this.

1.0 out of 5 stars Stay AWAY!, June 16, 2005
This review is from: Beginner 38" Blue Guitar with Carrying Bag and Accessories
This guitar is really cheap, so it doesnt surprise me that it's made from a nameless company, the tuner is just a pitch pipe. The whole package is a sham, please buy the Yamaha C40 instead, save your money and dont but this.

4.0 out of 5 stars A beginners' bargain..., January 10, 2006
This review is from: Beginner 38" Blue Guitar with Carrying Bag and Accessories
I was interested in learning to play guitar and was looking for an inexpensive item to begin with. If you or your kids are the type of people who (like me) would want to play around with things before actually going in for an expensive equivalent, this is a guitar you can start with. Particularly for kids who are crazy about guitars, but who are playful enough to break things within days of buying new equipment (I have broken a lot of things when I was young), this is a good buy. The guitar is light and the sound, good (it needs tuning). It comes with a carry bag, extra strings, Linden binding, a plastic pick, and a good-sounding pitch pipe (for tuning the guitar). The pitch pipe tuner has to be blown into,(it looks like a mouth-organ or harmonica), to hear the sound you would get when you strum the guitar in 1E, 2B, 3G, 4D, 5A, and 6E, so that you can tune each string. At first, it would be hard for the beginner to tune the guitar to the sound of the pipe, but hey, we all learn things right? It also comes with a nylon strap to hold the guitar to the shoulders from around the body.

Good guitars are expensive (and they are worth it), but for a beginning, just to see if our enthusiasm will hold, this is a good guitar. I would recommend this for beginners and other enthusiasts who just want to see for themselves how things work (like our science students who want to learn the basics of sound, and would want to do things rather than just read about them from the books).

4.0 out of 5 stars Gift to my 7 yr old, October 25, 2005

This review is from: Beginner 38" Blue Guitar with Carrying Bag and Accessories
My mother-in-law bought this guitar for my daughter's 7th birthday. She totally loves it. It even takes a beating from my 2 & 4 yr olds. Read other reviews, haven't had any of this issues. I recommend this one!

1.0 out of 5 stars warning, January 9, 2007
This review is from: Beginner 38" Blue Guitar with Carrying Bag and Accessories
When this arrived I was pleased to find that there was a giant crack on the guitar. It appeared as though someone had stomped on it or something. It was dirt cheap so Im not gonna bother trying to fight to get my money back, but do yourself a favor and avoid this at all costs. The guitar was of horrible quality as well.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good beginner guitar, October 29, 2005
This review is from: Beginner 38" Blue Guitar with Carrying Bag and Accessories
If you or your child wants to learn the guitar but you're not sure if it'll take, this is a good instrument to start on. It has a pleasant mellow tone and is small enough to hold without wearing yourself out. Granted, construction is sloppy and the extras aren't that great. But it holds a pitch, and what do you expect at this price?

I payed eighty plus dollars for this instrument, and when finally I recieved the guitar. The box was in a terrible condition, parts were missing, in general I was extremely displeased with the product that was sold to me.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your money, June 22, 2006
This review is from: Beginner 38" Blue Guitar with Carrying Bag and Accessories
This guitar is really low quality, even for the price. The guitar did not come with the carrying bag and accesories as stated either. This may have been just a screw up with my order, but there was another complaint like mine under this seller's feedback. The guitar smelled terrible, like chemicals. This guitar was a starter guitar for my son (which is why I didn't mind something lower quality), but because of the smell, I don't even want him to be near it.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Beginner 38" Blue Guitar with Carrying Bag and Accessories
I bought this for a movie my nephew made. It was used in a scene where one guy smashed a guitar over another guy's head. It worked so great.

2.0 out of 5 stars not the greatest, July 15, 2007
This review is from: Beginner 38" Blue Guitar with Carrying Bag and Accessories
I am a beginner and bought this to try out my hand at guitar. So I wanted something cheaper to begin with. What I don't like is that I can't get it in tune.
