Product Description

Guitar is 38 inches in length and come with Steel Strings. The guitar has Linden Binding and wood construction with geared tuning. Each guitar comes with an extra set of steel strings, pick, tuner, gig bag and strap. The Steel String Acoustic Guitar is perhaps the most versatile and common guitar type. The Steel String Acoustic Guitar has a loud, bright ringing tone that clearly projects to the listener. This type of guitar is the backbone of most country and bluegrass bands. It's perfect for backing a singer and its stylistic palette encompasses everything from New Age and Country Blues, to hot Bluegrass flatpicking, jazz fusion and "unplugged" rock. Tuning Pegs are made of Brass and Steel for easy tuning and to keep the tuned string held in position.

3.0 out of 5 stars You Get What You Pay For, March 15, 2005

This review is from: Beginner 38" Coffee Color Guitar with Carrying Bag and Accessories

I bought this guitar because it was cheap, 38" (I thought that it was full size), and because I am just starting to learn.

I'm not really sure why the previous reviewer felt so happy with this guitar, but I am telling you, even at $45, this guitar is not worth the money. First off, the fretboard is plastic. I guess this doesn't really matter, but the feel and looks of it are unsatisfactory. Secondly, the tuners are plastic, and I was extremely lucky if the guitar stayed in tune for more than 3 hours...without me playing it! Thirdly, the strings are off the fretboard by at Least 3/4 of a cm past the 10th fret. This is highly uncomfortable and forces you to apply much pressure to avoid the buzzing. Lastly, though this CLASSICAL guitar comes with a thin nylon bag, flimsy strap, pick, and an extra set of strings, it is still not worth $45+.

I have returned this guitar and have spent the extra $15 to buy the "Rogue RA-100D Dreadnought Guitar, Natural" and I am Happy to say that I am totally satisfied with my purchase. You can see my review there.

Unless you are a talented and experienced guitarist who can manage the extremely difficult challenges in playing this "toyish" guitar, I do not recommend it, especially for beginners.

A great starter guitar if you're just learning (like I am). The best part is the extra set of strings, pick and gig bag to stow it when not in use -- all included. At this price its a steal :-)

2.0 out of 5 stars Low price = Definitely low quality in this case., October 25, 2010

This is a toy. Wouldn't ever want someone to learn on this guitar. Their first impressions most certainly would last. It was sent it back.

Pros:
-Price. You will get what you pay for.

Cons:
-Poorly made. Wood chips were all over the inside of it when received. The frets were plastic and were not glued on properly.
-The wood look appeared to be sticker-like.
-Sound quality hardly made it a guitar.
