Great value!

It has been years since I played a guitar, and I wanted an acoustic-electric. The price was right, and I took a "representative sample" in the store or a test drive. I liked who it felt. The action was good and the tone was nice. I ordered it. It came well within the time frame estimated. It was well packaged, and it arrived with no damage to either the packaging, or the guitar. Kudos, UPS! I was disappointed to see that there was no documentation as to how to use the electric box. I stumbled through using the tuner, and I'm not really sure I have it right. What I have sounds good, and the tuner says it's right on. It's up to the quality of the strings as to whether the instrument stays in tune, as well as weather conditions.I don't expect this guitar to stay in tune until the strings get used to being tightened. All in all, this guitar looks good, feels good, sounds good and is light. Throw in some docs about using the box, and this will be a five star piece of equipment. I'm in practice mode right now, relearning and rebuilding calluses. It'll probably be this time next year before I do anything serious with it.

A bit inexpensive look, OK electronics, for campground jams

The guitar came at a low price and did not have visual defects, the strings were easily tunable, The visual appearance was a bit "cheap" with black back and no nice wood texture on front. I was lured by a sale ad on the web site. I was initially surprised that the strings touched many frets. Further inspection showed that the tension nut was over-tightened and the fretboard was bent back. Un-tightening it with the included wrench fixed the problem. I expected acoustic-electric guitar to have nylon strings and acoustic-style (wide) fretboard; this one had cheap wire wound steel strings and electric-guitar style (narrow) flat fretboard. So while it might be OK to play rhythm section, it is uneasy to play acoustic pieces on that. I would immediately replace the strings with some flat-wound ones as they do too much finger noise. The pick-up and preamplifier are generally OK, with standard high/mid/low tone controls, volume and phase switch. Unfortunately, there is no preamp power switch, so the user should take out battery when not in use. With steel strings they make bright tone, and maybe too bright ("metallic") bass. However, with more time, I discovered that the shielding is not perfect, and there is some audible hum which appears when your hand is on the bridge or close to the preamplifier location. Apparently, shielding needs to be improved. The tuner has a small LCD which clearly shows the note offset with +/-50 cents span, so it was easy to tune. On my guitar, there was a adhesive nylon cable tie inside to keep wires organized - and it was loose letting the loose wires to knock on the deck when playing. All these minor flaws could be easily fixed but would require disassembling; so I decided to return the guitar and got a different better one. Overall - it is a cheap basic guitar which, with some homework, may be made a good starter guitar for a practicing player, especially later going to electric guitar. Not good for classic guitar music lesson

    I'm a seasoned musician of 34 years stopped playing out a few years back but still write and record here and there. I've bought most if my gear from GC and never had an issue, New or used. This guitar was a cheap, quick fix as my last gigging guitar started giving me issues and finally gave out. On unboxing, guitar looked fine however the battery they sent with it was eroding. When I tried to open the battery box it didn't open easily, however I did manage to get it open. Cosmetically it had more scuffs and paint wear then I assumed being a floor model and also looks as if the neck has had quite a bit of stress and the seam in the back of the neck by the body is more apparent than I have encountered with all the different guitars I have purchased over the years. The battery box isn't enclosed very well as you can see straight thru to the inside of the guitar or surroundings if you tip the guitar. The midst disappointing is the fret wires as most of them extend past the neck in both sides and are sharp. No fast changing cords on this unless they get filed down. I was looking for a quick inexpensive replacement for the guitar I was using as I can justify spending a ton of money now that I'm no longer playing out. I have yet to plug it in so not sure on that yet however acoustically it doesn't sound horrible. I do like the display for the tuner, but so far that's probably the best feature. When I sit down and actually play it for a length of time I'll come back and revise or add to my review.

    I bought this because i was doing some guitar exercises and didn't want to always use my electric guitar. This guitar is very lightweight and for the quality, i'd think this was an even cheaper guitar. It does have a built in tuner, so thats nice. As it needs tuned frequently. Although i have to always remove the battery because the electronics don't shut off, running down the battery. At certain parts of the neck there is nothing you can do to get a clean sound. A cable snapping onto tin is about as clean as the higher parts of the neck get. Maybe i just need to re-string it? This guitar is pretty low quality i believe. But i will keep using it and someday i might get on a better quality guitar and see my playing doesn't sound as bad as it does on this. Thats my hope anyway

    The guitar was amazing and I had plenty of fun with it, I ended up returning it because I broke it while transporting it but otherwise it was an amazing guitar and I'd 100% recommend it to someone if you're looking for a beginner/intermediate level guitar and can't afford the more pricey ones, 10/10!

    i bought this guitar because it was the cheapest thing i could find - and it works! i haven't used the electric part of it yet, but the acoustic sounds fine to beginners who just want something to play or practice on. i love the look of the guitar, and it came with no blemishes. and i love that it didn't break the bank.

    This is a great guitar, especially if they're just starting out. And it comes with a manufacturer's warranty which covers against manufacturer's defects.
