Best Choice Products 41in Beginner Acoustic Guitar Full Size All Wood Cutaway Guitar Starter Set w/Case, Strap, Capo, Strings, Picks - Black

If I could give them 5,761.9 stars, it still wouldn't be adequate. This seller does customer service RIGHT. When I bought this, there was an issue with the tension on the neck causing one of the strings to buzz whenever fretted. I emailed the seller just to ask them if they had any advice on how best to fix it. Not only did they get back to me the same day, they immediately, without me even asking, told me they were gonna send me an entirely new one and told me I could keep the old one even! WOW. Given what a nightmare, customer service seems to be these days and how the companies seem to go to great lengths, to make it difficult to even find out HOW to contact them, let alone actually help you (looking at you, Sony), this was such a breath of fresh air. The guitar's actually very good too for the price. It's quite a good buy and considering the level of service they provide, if you're even considering buying this, do it. Thank you again and big ups to the CS team!!!! You guys....rock ;) (pun intended)

Love the guitar! The lessons aren't for me, I went a different route, but it is cool that they're included. I also suggest being prepared to replace the strings that come with it as they lose tune quickly and I've already snapped one. The guitar itself is beautiful, I love the blue. It tunes easily, but as said it needs frequent re-tuning. Sound is great.

The best guitar for beginners, very good quality, easy to set.

Is ok for the price

Nice guitar

bought as a gift for my son, he was happy with it, so I am.

It didn't just meet my needs, it exceeded them by a wide margin. Not just the guitar itself, which sounds great, but also loved all the extras that came with it.The company itself, Best Choice Products was simply outstanding about how they handle an issue I had with one of the tuning pegs, which was working as it should. I wasn't interested in a return or a refund as I love the guitar, they insisted on shipping me a new one (took 5 days total), and also insisted that there was no need to have to return the original one. Who does that? Best Choice Products does.Outstanding all around.

Long story short, a homeless guy on a bike got hit by a car. His guitar was smashed and as the EMTs and police were helping him all he was concerned about was his guitar. So some of the people that witnessed it put out a post to see if someone would get him a guitar. I looked everywhere locally but couldn't find a decent guitar one marketplace or craigslist so I ordered this one.Realistic Pros and ConsPros1) it actually is a pretty guitar, pleasing to the eye2) Fret edges are pretty smooth and not just for this price range3) Neck is straight as an arrow4) Frets are smooth, I wouldn't say polished but not gritty5) As the description shows, it comes with everything to get started5) Sound wise, I have heard worse. I play mostly solid wood name brand acoustics so to my ear it does sound bad but I know as a kid I would have been happy to have this guitarCONS1) The action was the worse thing, it is very high so for a beginner it could turn them off. Now with the neck angle looking fine and the neck being straight it looks like the nut was cut too high and/or where the strings go through it needs to be filed down just a bit. The other thing to do would have been just to sand down the bridge saddle on the base/bottom since it was a bit high as well. you have to be a little careful when doing that though and just make sure that you sand it straight. I hold it in my hand then run it in one stroke back and forth the long way on a full size sandpaper sheet. Unfortunately I was so busy this week I didn't have time to do that for him2) The tuners are not the greatest but it does the job3) Not sure if its the tuners or the bad strings, but the strings kept stretching even after I stretched it so there "could" be a problem there. But it would help a beginner know how to start keeping their guitar in tune4) Since the strings are kind of high, it's ok for playing open chords but bar chords and lead/single notes the intonation is off because you have to push so far for the strings to reach the fret so the distance plus the extra tension makes the notes sharp. Again, if you file down the nut and the bridge that would probably help. And yours might be fine, I'm only referring to mine specifically.5) The bridge was lifting slightly at the back, but just barely. Over time it might lift off but I've seen worse and blue holds pretty good even if the bridges start to lift like that. I also bet the bridge is screwed in though, since there looks to be 2 little circles on each side of the bridge. They use to do that to cheaper guitars to help keep the bridge down.My overall impression is that this is a great value but is not for everyone. If you know someone who has played and can set up a guitar for you, then get it. If I had the time, I could get this playing and sounding like a $120 - 200 non solid top guitar. If you wanted to practice upgrading a guitar and setting it up, this would also be great for you! If you want a guitar to fumble around with and play campfire songs with open chords and not care if it gets too cold and you need to use it as campfire wood, I'd say get it. If you need all the accessories and the guitar is just a bonus, wait for a sale and get it.I wouldn't recommend it for a true beginner who is on their own though, because the strings are hard to press down and the sound is not "great" so that together would make them think they are doing something wrong. It can be a pretty good guitar but with some work. If you can afford to pay a little more you can get one that wouldn't need as much work. But if you can only afford this one as a "base" then it's not bad. Just know that you'll have to do a little bit of work to get it playing better.
