READ THIS IF YOU'RE CONSIDERING BUYING THIS GUITAR!!! I bought this used - very good for 45 bucks about a year ago. I probably would not pay full price, as much as I love it. That being said, IT IS NOT JUNK GIVE IT TIME! I swear half the people leaving negative reviews have no idea how guitars work. I am a full grown adult guitar player, and I've been playing since high school. I'm in college now, and I needed something small and light to travel with. I DON'T USE THIS AS MY EVERYDAY GUITAR! I reach for this guy if I'm messing around with chords, my fingers hurt from my metal strings, or I'm just trying to relax. It's great to practice on, but not so much if you're trying to actually play in front of people. Nylons aren't meant to be used like metal stringed acoustics, they're a separate instrument! It still works for that purpose, though, you can play the same exact songs and chords. If you tune it properly it gets the job done. Great for my college dorm or throwing in the car for a camping trip cus it's super light. Great to practice on when I don't feel like lugging my full sized acoustic around. This is a decent product for the price I PAID. Being a nylon string guitar, you have to stretch the strings and tune it quite a bit (2-4 days is recommended for the strings to settle - watch a youtube tutorial on how to do it) Furthermore, the plastic strings that everyone complains about are standard on a nylon. Heck, the C40 from Yamaha, well established nylon, has the same type (but higher quality, I bet) if I recall. They do go out of tune pretty frequently, especially at the start, but it's not even that much - just retune them! The tuner works well for me, but if you don't like it, just get an app like GuitarTuna. Now, for the guitar itself, it's what I expected when I bought it for 45 bucks, barely even damaged since I got a higher quality used (or less damaged I guess) version, and I have to say, it has really grown on me. Guitars are instruments, not toys. You can't give it to a kid and expect them to learn the ins and outs. If you really want them to learn guitar, buy them a cheap acoustic like a rogue or Yamaha, a C40 is a great nylon but you could also get them a metal string, and get them lessons! Find a music store near you, it might be a bit pricey but it's the best way to learn. Originally I recommended swapping the strings, but it's not worth it to be honest. I got it back in 2021 for 45 USD used, and I love it for what I use it for. If you're dead-set on a cheap starter guitar, or you want an affordable spare, grab this but follow my advice. If you really want to learn, shell out the extra money and buy a tried and true brand. For the full price, 80 bucks is not worth it. Get a rogue for that money. Anyway, that's my rant, hope this helps! (I even bumped my review up from 4 to 5 stars - when I first wrote it, it was 1 star because I didn't understand stretching the nylon strings - IT TAKES TIME! but I genuinely love this thing!) Enjoy!
