3rd AvenueXF 1/2 Size Junior Kids Classical Spanish Starter Beginner Pack Acoustic Guitar with Nylon Strings, Gig Bag, Capo and Picks – Natural

Although the application of the stain/varnish could have been better where the neck joins the body the overall finish is good. The guitar came well set up and only tuning was required for it to be playable out of the box.I was pleasantly surprised to find a truss rod had been installed in the neck and an allen key supplied to adjust it with, many cheap guitars will go without which can result in tuning problems and warped necks in the months/years ahead.Tuning and intonation was perfect - with all strings tuned correctly the same notes were displayed on a chromatic tuner when a string was played open, fretted at the 12th or harmonically at the 12th.The frets were correctly spaced so chords and individual notes play in tune down the length of the neck and were level with no high frets causing strings to buzz. I was also happy to find that the frets had been smoothly bevelled at the sides of the fingerboard so there were no sharp edges waiting to scratch young hands.The three a side tuners work well, they have bee positioned correctly and do not wobble (like some I have come across) and are neither too stiff to turn or too loose that they can;t hold the strings in tune, the plastic pearloid buttons look nicer than plain cream or white buttons.The strings are easy on the fingers and it takes very little pressure even high up the finger board to press them to the frets. They will probably last a long time but to my ear they are not the best sounding being a little muted for my taste - some may prefer this tone to strings which 'ring' a lot. Expect the strings to take a couple of weeks before they settle in and don't need retuning every 10 minutes when playing. To this end it would have been nice if a tuner had been included but it's not so if you don't already have one I recommend you purchase one along with the guitar.The guitar came supplied with a serviceable, non-padded gigbag, a cappo which is very stiff to operate but works, a couple of plectrums and an allen key (keep it safe) and is quite a nice package for the price.Aimed primarily at school children 3/4 size guitars are also perfectly suitable for adults and I'd recommend this one to anyone 8 years and older who is interested in learning classical guitar on a budget.

So it's a cheap guitar, but for a complete beginner like me it seems to be an inexpensive way to get into learning the guitar. The strings are comfortable (my dad tried to teach me with metal strings years ago as a kid and they really hurt) so these are great for practice.The plectrums (X2) are solid, so I'd recommend leaving one in warm to hot Water to soften it up a bit.Now the downside, which can be a problem if this is a gift, cosmetically there are the odd dings to the top, it doesn't take away from the function of the guitar but it can be unsightly and unsuitable if this is for someone else. Other than that it works, it's was cheap to get and will suit for somwone wanting to try there hand a guitar but can't afford/doesn't want to risk paying a lot to practice. If you're unsure if guitaring is for you, get this and see, compared to most prices it's a fair risk and if you enjoy it, we'll, it's money we'll spent.

Lovely player: am an older adult with chronic hand and wrist issues, have had loads of instruments, string and wind, but had to discard many due to worsening incapacity. This has good spaces between strings, holds its tune and though not had long is a delightful reminder of paths not taken (thanks to a reviewer whose opinion was helpful). Only minor negatives are the absence of dotes on fretboard (no problem for me as it is more like a proper classical guitar but for beginners might be hard), and the bag: very thin and hard to get guitar in and out (that was one reason why another manufacturer’s guitalele had to go back because that was worse than this). Another plus here is 6 months access to online tuition.

Guitar for beginners, good value, well built and sounds good for the price.

the guitar is good and my son was really thrilled, it was gift for my son however today he took it for his first guitar lesson and the zip in the case has broken on its very first use - not good quality.

This is the best buy. My daughter wanted to learn how to play the guitar and I had a good look around to buy one but this one was he best value for money. My daughter is really enjoying learning on this guitar.It is easy to tune and exactly the colour she wanted.

Action so high unplayable, after finally getting some tension in the strings the necks come away from the body

This guitar is perfect to teach my daughter, I play guitar and was worried about the quality, but it is fine, It plays nicely, the sound and quality is good enough for a child to learn on and sounds nice. I have a Washburn full size quality guitar but I would happily pick this little guitar up and have a go myself. Although the frets are very small for an adult it's brilliant for small children. I have bought this for a 7 year old and I think it will be the perfect size for her starting out. I have tuned it and had a go myself and I am happy, had to tune alot til the strings settle and it's starting to stay in tune a bit more. If the strings keep going out of tune it's usually just the way it's strung, so re string it or if you don't know how take into music shop. Or find an online video about how to correctly string a guitar. The way the strings are attached looks correct but my own guitar is strung differently and do not know how to string this Spanish style guitar so I will learn from a video or go to a shop and ask. But going to leave the strings as they are for now and re string later if/when needed. Its good for a child to learn how to tune a guitar as much as play it
