I usually don't review inexpensive beginner guitars. I stumbled upon this Lyx Pro guitar on Amazon listed as 'used, very good condition', for just $75. I believe the normal price range is something like $110. And therein lies the problem.
As with other cheap beginner guitars I've handled, I didn't expect much from the Lyx Pro. To say I was surprised is an understatement. The strap is cheap and feels like it will break at any time. The strings, including the extra set, are junk. The clip-on tuner is a very nice touch, especially for a beginner, and works fine. The cable, unlike others provided with starter guitars, is of nice quality and is a keeper, if for nothing else than a backup.
As for the guitar itself, I've been playing it since its arrival and have had a hard time putting it down. The mahogany finish is perfect and stunning, the neck straight and smooth, the tuners are typically low quality and hold tune ok, not great, the controls work perfectly and are also nice and smooth, and the pickups sound great. Not perfect, but leaps and bounds beyond what is to be expected.
Here is where I run into a conundrum. The guitar was already set up (again something not expected in this price range) the action low and comfortable and the intonation dead on. I couldn't have set this guitar up better myself. So... do all Lyx Pro guitars come this way? Remember, I purchased this particular guitar used, in 'very good' condition. That means it was in the hands of another. Did the previous buyer do the setup and adjustments? And if so, why then did they decide to return it?
I guess the final take is this: IF (and that's a big IF) all Lyx Pro guitars come this way then they are an incredible bargain. If someone else did the adjustments and setup, I'd say this is still a nice guitar for a student or intermediate wishing to get into electric guitars... after it has been properly set up. At this point, I am considering purchasing a new Lyx Pro just to satisfy my own questions and curiosity. In any event, compared to the other bargain guitars I have handled and the reviews they are given, I'd say the Lyx Pro is worth a try.
My recommendations: New quality strings, replace the tuners, and have a good setup done if needed,
Please Note: As of this writing, I have not tested the enclosed small practice amp. When I do, and if anything changes with the guitar I will update.
