I have zero experience with guitars therefore my feedback may be simply intoxicated with ignorance. I am writing this review just because I’m happy with the product as well as service.
Guitar
Beautiful body, glossy and smooth finish. Decent tuning pegs. Comes with extra set of strings, a capo and three picks. Has a wooden bridge with structural support inside the body. Comes with a pick guard. Now, I am no expert at what makes a guitar better than other - but I feel it has relatively higher action on the picking hand more than fretboard. It has a struss rod for adjustment (comes with Allen Key) but I am not going to mess with it until I know what I’m doing. Comes with an OK-quality belt which might be the first thing you’d like to change. It’s has inlay-ed fretboard markers on the face as well as on the side. All the edges around the guitar and the neck are smooth and don’t cause discomfort. You’d need a 9-volt battery to put in the guitar when connecting to the amplifier. It comes with a tuner but I am still fiddling with tuning and find it frustrating - not sure if it’s the guitar, tuner, strings, or my own self. Specifically finding g-string seems to be most challenging. Just running my fingers over the strings reveals some bumps like they were caused by pressing against the fretboard and rosette. Another thing i observed was the uneven spacing between strings on the bridge end.
Amplifier
Pretty simple to use and had great quality with basic features. Not bad for the bucks. Has a mic input (doesn’t come with microphone). Doesn’t run on battery so needs power source. Good for indoor small group.
Case
The case was DIRTY like it had a splash of dirty water or something. Very basic construction with an okay quality materials. The case is good only for carrying the guitar; would not trust against water, temperature or external pressure. Has a decent size pocket to store small gadgets. Comes with two straps to wear as a backpack.
Package
Was delivered couple of days before scheduled. Very happy and excited to receive it before time. The package had a deep hole on one side. Upon opening, I found one of the tuning ports damaged. Upon lodging the complaint, the manufacturer sent the replacement within 4 days in a big box that contained a separate smaller carton for amplifier, a guitar case with guitar inside, and a plastic ziplock for other accessories. Guitar and amplifier were covered with soft water proof plastic wrap.
Bottom Line
Great value for the price makes it the best gift. Certainly not the best guitar out there but good for beginners and kids with lesser sense of responsibility. Functional Flaws defines it’s short life and warrants a better quality product. A beautiful show piece for the wall if nothing else.
