Lyons
Description

The Lyons Classroom Guitar, an economically-priced nylon-string guitar built to withstand student use. Featuring a laminated spruce top and slotted headstock, this instrument is designed to produce a beautiful tone while keeping costs low. Available in multiple sizes to suit students of all ages, the Lyons Classroom Guitar is the ideal choice for music programs on a budget.

Laminated Spruce Top for Resonant Sound

The Lyons Classroom Guitar features a laminated spruce top, selected for its ability to produce a resonant, balanced tone. Though more affordable than solid wood, spruce laminate provides the warmth and projection needed for an enjoyable playing experience. A stylish soundhole rosette adds a decorative touch, bringing visual appeal to match the instrument's acoustic qualities.

Durable Construction for Longevity

Built to withstand heavy student use, the Lyons Classroom Guitar is constructed from durable, high-quality materials. A slotted headstock provides stable tuning while reducing the risk of warping. The tuners are resistant to rust, and a high-gloss finish protects against surface damage. Each guitar includes a gig bag for safe transport and storage between lessons.

What an amazing deal!!!

I bought this guitar so that I would have one at our cabin in Colorado (the mountains are so much better with a guitar) and I could avoid the "how did my guitar make the flight" worries. I figured that at the price I couldn't lose no matter what. What I didn't figure on was the great tone and feel of this instrument. If you are looking for a first guitar or one to leave somewhere so that you have it in hand for occasional use then this is your best deal. A number of other reviewers have said that the strings would not stay in tune, and for the first short while I thought they were right then I saw that the only problem was a bit of slack in the tailpiece end of the strings. Once I got that straightened out all was great! Bear in mind that this is an inexpensive guitar so it will likely have some minor cosmetic issues, but it plays like a dream. If you are looking for a guitar to see if you or someone else is really interested in playing or you want a guitar to leave somewhere to play occasionally then this is a great guitar!

First guitar

Bought this as a gift for the granddaughter. With both metal and nylon strings, only the metal strings hold tune. For the low price I'm just hoping it will serve her for the time she takes to decide if she really wants to learn to play the guitar.

    Our guitars are plated about 4 hours a week in class. After the first 4 months all E and B string notes buzz with no pitch at the first and second frets.

  • For learning only, Too many dead fret and same tone fret

    Surely for learning only. Not for pro and non-pro guitar player. There are too many dead frets and same key tone fret, mmeaning, the sizes of the frets are the same hence similar key tone. This is probably why they dont display it at the stores so no one can try it.

  • Nice little guitar

  • GORGEOUS GUITAR, SOUNDS WONDERFUL

    This guitar is AWESOME. Very little room for improvement, the details were slightly different than the pictures, but in my opinion better than advertised. Those commenting about tuning not holding, are probably not familiar with nylon strings. I play exclusively with nylon strings (which is what came pre strung on this guitar) and the first few days to a week, it WILL fall out of tune QUICKLY. That is the nature of nylon, no way around it, but they are much easier on your fingertips and have a softer tone than steel strings, so I guess it depends on your style. Also came with a soft case for carrying. Perfect guitar for my playing style, 100% new favorite guitar.

    Got this for my son for his birthday so he could have a guitar like daddy. We tuned it up and were able to practice with it for 8 days. Woke up this morning and went to use it and over night the bridge broke off with all strings still attached and intact. Super disappointed. Not sure what to do now.

    Right size, but the sound is horrible. I got it close to tuned in, but it still sounds horrible.
