Rocking AfghanistanNovember 16, 2008 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
First, I had NO IDEA HOW TO PLAY the guitar before I ordered this 'cheap' guitar and had it shipped to Afghanistan where I am currently stationed. It arrived FAST, which is great. It arrived in good shape, which means that the packaging is good. After I put it together (strings anyway) I busted the small string (whichever one that is). Fifteen minutes later and a little theft from a buddies string stash I had my guitar strung and tuned.
Since there are hundreds of podcasts on how to play a guitar for free and books all over this base on how to play the guitar - I am proud to say that I can now 'get by' with a a few tunes.
This guitar plays well, it is light (which I like), sounds nice (a little twangy) and is perfect for the price.
I will be leaving it here is Afghanistan when I return home, but it will continue to be enjoyed by soldiers for a long time as the quality of the manufacturing is good and sturdy.
Good buy!
Awesome Guitar!!!November 13, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
To begin with, I will give you my honest opinion about this guitar. Being that I'm a beginner, I can only give you my honest opinion as a beginner. The reason I purchased this guitar is because of the great 5 star reviews it had on Amazon. I was still a little skeptical about it to the fact that it was an online purchase and I was afraid of the "what if(s)" were to happen, and I would have to end up given it back with a hassle. But anyway, I found this to be an excellent guitar overall. When I first received it, I immediately began playing it. I've noticed right after, however, that the strings were making rattling noises next to the frets on the guitar, and I said to myself that this couldn't be normal. I had even tried tuning it from the tuners on the guitar. Being so skeptical, I took it to a nearby pawn store close to my house. They sell guitars there and have guitar experts, so I knew that I could get an experts opinion on the rattling noises. The expert told me that it just needs tuning up and I would have to get an electric tuner with a mic to tune it properly. He told me that this is a great guitar and I shouldn't worry. Furthermore, once tuned properly, the rattling noises will go away as I play, being the fact that the guitar is new. So I quickly purchased a tuner, which he recommended called Korg Chromatic Tuner CA-30. And let me tell you, he sure was right. As I'm playing the guitar now, I don't hear any rattling noises like I did before. The guitar plays superb, a lot like the expensive guitars. So I do recommend getting an electric tuner, especially the one I purchased, when purchasing this guitar. This is definitely worth the money.
Nice beginner guitarOctober 27, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought this guitar for my 15 year old son to learn on. My brother has several guitars, and he thought it was good guitar for the money. By no means is this a professional sounding guitar. You can definately tell the difference between this and one of my brother's which are expensive. But for a beginner this is a good choice. One of the strings was broken upon receipt as well as a scratch on the front of the guitar, but I was going to change the strings anyway. It can make a big difference with the type of strings you use as well. My son brings it to school every day, and after over a month it is holding up well.
