Great value for money

I think this is a great guitar for the price. Although cheap, the quality is outstanding. The guitar I received has some small imperfections but they do not affect its playability, sound, or looks. Most importantly, there are no sharp frets and it's a great set-up straight out of the box. The strings are not the best and the guitar certainly benefits from a better set of strings. Overall, great guitar if you want to pick up playing the guitar without breaking the bank!

Phenomenal for the price

I bought this guitar for home practice, but it ended up getting used for gigs. Has a surprisingly punchy, bright tone. Very happy, and still going strong 👍🏼

Rapport qualité/prix

Qualité (prise en main, finitions et sonorité) incroyable pour un prix aussi ridicule. Initialement achetée (en 2022) pour disposer d'une petite guitare à trimballer partout (même où il y a risque de perte ou de vol), finalement je l'utilise tous les jours car elle est plus facile et rapide à saisir quand j'ai peu de place et de temps pour travailler. J'en prends d'ailleurs autant soins que de mes autres. guitares. Parfaite pour un débutant qui aurait peur de trop investir sans être sûr de continuer à terme. Très bonne idée de cadeau pour les enfants qui hésiteraient à s'y mettre...

Nice for it's price, but...

Nice guitar, moderate quality, no complaints. Considering how much it costs it makes up to its value. Sounds not that good, maybe suitable for broke beginners, to later switch to something better. Totally worth it's price, maybe it would even justify its price if it was slightly more expensive. Not a serious choice for a main guitar, but a good value for its price

Great value

For the price you really can’t expect much but in reality this guitar punches above its weight. It’s sturdy and sounds good. Easy player.

Brilliant value for money

Very light weight and comfortable to play. Tuners are fine and finish is very good. It's not perfect, It's a £59 guitar! The fretboard and bridge are very dry, but a bit of lemon oil soon sorts that out. The frets are fine too, could do with a little bit of finessing (a little bit rough at the edges) but they're completely playable as they are. The sound is very good, I don't think you'll find anything else this good for the money.

Hard to complain

At 68€ a pop, it's hard to complain about this guitar.

Yes, it did need work out of the box... the action was very high (close to 4mm)... the frets weren't level and were in desperate need of a good sand/polish... the neck relief needed adjusting (this helped a little with the action due to heavy bow... shaving a few mm off the saddle got it the rest of the way)... the cheap plastic nut was pinging on 3rd and 4th string + strings over 1st fret too high... the fretboard was dry and 'hairy' (wood fibers coming off) and the fret ends needed some smoothing over.

But once that was taken care of, the guitar plays well enough and punches quite a bit above its weight.

For the price there is no competition, best guitar in it's price range. The action is not to high, the frets have no sharp ends everything you want in an acoustic guitar.

Been playing this guitar for three years..

I bought this guitar almost three years ago and I'm happy to say it's held up really well. I bought it to have it around the house, and it has been played daily since. It still has a bright sound, the action is ok, and it stays in tune really well. I think it would be a perfect starter guitar as it's not too heavy and the neck is easy to play on. For the price, it's 100% worth buying.
