Pyle Beginner Acoustic Guitar Kit, 3/4 Junior Size Instrument for Kids, Adults, 36" Black gloss

Such a beautiful guitar!!! I had no previous knowledge of guitars before this. It was one skill I’ve wanted to learn for a while now, I just didn’t know where to start. I ended up buying this one because of the price and the size. A full size 42” guitar cost upwards of $80 or more. I didn’t want the guitar to swallow me whole. Turns out the size of the guitar is perfect! It’s good for kids and adults! I love it’s glossy finish. It’s really well crafted. But most of all the sound is amazing!! I absolutely love playing it. I’ve slowly started to learn how to play, I recommend the app Yousician. It’s free but you can pay for better options on the app.The only thing I see about the product is I don’t exactly know how to use the tuner. Their are no detections. It’s cute but I wish it was user friendly. But you can always use an app. I think Yousician has a tuner but I use the app GuitarTuna that works just as good. Last thing is the case/cover for the guitar is alright it definitely works I just wish it wasn’t so thin. But I understand for the price I paid for everything.Overall an amazing purchase! Came within 5 day in the mail. I recommend it to anyone learning to play and want a great quality guitar without breaking the bank. :)Ps. There is a strap for it but the one shown in the picture is one I made myself but their are plenty that you can purchase that will work with the guitar. (It also comes with a black one).

Learning to play an instrument is an early bucket list item of mine. For me, music is a foreign language, If you know me you know I'm very monolingual and I just could never wrap my head around understanding music. I'll admit I didn't want to waste money on something that I might give up on so I went the cheap route.I was very surprised by this guitar. I was expecting it to look cheap and sound horrible. While it won't stand up to an expensive guitar it very adequately gets the job done. I was expecting in the long run to get frustrated with it and either hang it on the wall or give it to the kids if they ever put their phones down long enough to look at it.TL/DR. The nylon strings are good to get you started but a set of steel strings will make it sound very nice. In tune with good strings it can easily throw pleasant sound. If you are 6' like me it can be difficult to hold comfortably and the action may need adjusting. A bit of sanding on the bridge took care of that (learning to adjust and care for instruments is part of learning to play and there's toms of vids on it).I did get a full size electric 2 weeks later but still keep this one in the shop to practice my fingering. It's kind of nice to be kicked back in my office chair strumming chords. And what really surprised me was 2 weeks after getting it I played my first song. The wife knew what the tune was immediately when she walked in the door from work.So yes, if you want to give it a try but think it may end up being a piece of dust collecting wall art then this guitar is perfect. I don't feel compelled to force it on the kids and while it would look nice sitting in the corner of the house or on the wall of my beach shop...I'd still rather take it out and play a few tunes.

The media could not be loaded. Fair warning, I ended up returning this guitar. Got it as a warehouse deal, but it was much more damaged cosmetically than described. I've been playing guitar for a little over 6 months, and my other guitar is a steel string dreadnought. Not much experience with nylon strings. I'm definitely no expert, but these are my thoughts.Before returning I played with it for a while to test it out to see if I wanted to order a replacement. I decided against reordering and will likely purchase a classical guitar at a higher price point. That being said:Pro: took a little while to get it to stay in tune, but once it was it sounded pretty decent. I also liked the size, both depth and length. Much smaller than a standard guitar, as expected from the description. Strings were easy to play, compared to steel.Also, love the color pattern.Cons: warehouse deal said the packaging was damaged, but in this case the guitar was as well. Did not factor into my 3 star rating, as it's not a reflection of the product. If it hadn't been damaged, or had been at a lower price point I may have considered keeping it, but I likely would have returned for something a bit higher quality.Quality wise, you're buying a cheap guitar. All in all, it actually plays better than I expected it would. It's marketed for beginners, and I think this is due to the price. Just know, you get what you pay for. It may be frustrating for a new player to never be in tune, and thus not want to play. Not saying this is the case, I didn't play it long enough to know if that's an issue, but I did have to retune it quite a bit the short time I had it.If your budget is $60, and you can't find a used one, this probably isn't a bad choice.

I’m happy with the setup, the strings, and the tone. Great starter instrument for a kid, although I tend to pick it up more often than my kid does.
