The Steel String Acoustic Guitar has a loud, bright ringing tone that clearly projects to the listener. This type of guitar is the backbone of most country and bluegrass bands. It's perfect for backing a singer and its stylistic palette encompasses everything from New Age and Country Blues, to hot Bluegrass flatpicking, jazz fusion and "unplugged" rock. Sound, beauty and price were all blended together when this guitar was created. From the deep, warm tones of the Mahogany back and sides to the loud, bright projection of the Solid Spruce top you'll never want to play anything else after you've put your hands one one of these guitars.

 You get what you pay for... January 26, 2010

This is a cheap guitar. It will not hold tune. The neck is falling off. Spend a little more and get a real one. Have someone who knows about guitars recommend one.

I read all the reviews before purchasing, and I just received this in the mail, I am a beginner, so I wasn't sure what to expect. It was packaged nicely and the tuner pipe is quite handy! I have already begun learning some simple songs and I am verrry happy with this guitar!

I teach guitar lessons for free at two local boys and girls club and I am always looking for a good, cheap guitar. I am teaching 15-20 kids from ages 10-16. I gave this guitar a try and was very disappointed. If you are a beginner or getting this for a beginner, you are wasting your money. This guitar will only discourage a child from learning (or an adult for that matter). It is too hard to push the strings down, even for an adult. The sound is really terrible. If you are shopping for a good beginner guitar that is inexpensive, check out the Takamine Jasmine S35 on Amazon, which is only $20 more (no case, but if cost is an issue you can use the box until you can come up with the next $20 for a good soft case). It has been a very impressive guitar for the price. It stays in tune well, and is pretty easy for young kids to play. I teach once a week and often the guitar is still well in tune even after a week of abuse at the club. And it really has a very nice tone for the price. Or if you have a little more to spend, and in particular if the child is smaller (3-5th grader), check out the cutaway version of that same guitar (around $95); the cutaway makes it easier for smaller kids to hold the guitar. Both of those guitars are sold by the same company as this product (Austin Bazaar, they've been very reliable so far). I have purchased about 6-7 of the low-end Takamines for my program recently, and they are a great value for the money. I only had one that had a bad buzz and I had to send it back, but Austin Bazaar has a decent return policy and was good to work with. Guitar is fun, don't ruin it by buying a really bad instrument for your child (or yourself).
 Great Value for a Beginner December 26, 2009

I bought this guitar for my 11 year old daughter who is just starting out on one. It has a look feel and sound of a more expensive guitar. The accessories seal the deal for a beginners bargain. I looked at similarly priced guitars at department stores and no of them measured up to this one. Other reviews had me a little worried but after we got it I was very satisfied.
Not good, even for a beginner. October 1, 2009

I bought this guitar about a month ago, trying to stay cheap until I learned how to play. It makes it impossible to learn. The strings that were attached were old strings, although it does come with a set of new ones if you want to change them. The strings are extremely far from the fret board, which makes it almost impossible for someone who is trying to learn to play it. I pick this one up and struggle holding the strings down and switching between chords, but I pick up my friend's and it is so much easier. It doesn't stay in tune, which is like the worst thing imaginable for a guitar, especially if you are learning and aren't good at tuning. I even have a friend who is amazing at guitar and can tune them easily say that this one is almost impossible to tune correctly.
All in all, unless you are great at guitar and just want a cheap one, then avoid buying this. It would be more worth your money to spend about $50 extra on a somewhat nicer one.
