YMC 38" Black Beginner Acoustic Guitar Starter Package Student Guitar with Gig Bag,Strap, 3 thickness 9 picks,2 Pickguards,Pick Holder, Extra Strings, Electronic Tuner -Black

This is one of my favorite guitars, besides the red Squier Strat, but it is technically my first guitar, and I love it. It functions perfectly, although steer clear from the electric tuner, because I was trying to tune with it, and one of the strings snapped on me, and I nearly threw the guitar, I'd recommend the fender tuning app. It's easy to use once tuned, and I personally like the hummingbird pickguard it comes with, but the other one is good too. The picks are good too, I like thicker picks, and the guitar strap works good too. It plays amazing, and I would recommend it to anyone trying to get a guitar for cheap.

I love my guitar! 😊 I bought this guitar a year ago after deciding on a whim that I wanted to learn guitar but not wanting to spend too much money. I was looking for a good starter guitar and this was exactly what I was hoping to find! While you can tell looking closely that this beautiful guitar is cheaply made (for example, the rosette and sound boards are both stickers rather than being built into the guitar. They don't fall or peel off so I don't mind that, but that's one specific difference in quality compared to more expensive guitars), it is good quality for the price, has good sound, and still looks like a serious guitar. (It is a bit smaller than the standard size.) As some others have mentioned, it falls out of tune very quickly, but that felt easy enough to me to resolve with the tuner (included), pitch pipe (included), or by tuning it to a guitar tuning video on YouTube. This also comes with an extra set of strings, 2 different-style sound boards (you choose which to install/put on), a pick holder that you can attach to the guitar (I love this!), a set of picks, a strap, and a case. The case is not padded at all, so be careful, but I've still been able to use it to transport my guitar and am really happy that this guitar came with it because I wouldn't have wanted to spend money on a separate guitar case at this point. The case opens at the bottom and has an adjustable strap and pocket. I haven't used the separate guitar strap because there wasn't something to attach it to the guitar on both sides, but I could have figured this out if I had tried harder. I think there might have been instructions in the other reviews.Oh also, another perk of this guitar is the strings and fingerboard are very comfortable--at least for me. I tried playing a friend's guitar after playing this one, and the strings were spaced a little bit higher above the finger board than this one, meaning it required me to press on the chords harder to play. Playing this guitar was much more comfortable to me by comparison.If you are an intermediate guitar player or more serious than I was about your long-term commitment to guitar, you might want to get a more expensive guitar set.But for someone like me who wants something beautiful and functional but cheap, I leave this with a very definite 5-star review! I am thoroughly satisfied with this guitar set! I love that it is a complete set with everything I needed to get started and an excellent value for the price. I may upgrade someday, or I may be happy with this for my whole life as an amateur guitar player. I highly recommend this guitar. 🤩

The seal along the bottom edge is not. There is a quarter inch gap for about eight inches, where I can see into the guitar. Otherwise very nice beginner guitar. It's light, cheap, and comes "stage ready" with strings on it. The tuner is.. well bad. It's very cheap, but, the pitch pipe is accurate, so, no real loss there. The picks that came with the guitar don't fit in the pick holder, lol.. but, filing out the slot on it makes it functional, though it lacks stability.A decent find for kids.

Can't beat the value

I paid around $55 for this beginners guitar. I'm into my 2nd year of playing and wanted a travel guitar to take around with me and not be concerned if it got dinged up a bit while traveling. This was way better than I expected and cheaper than those practice fretboards that you see around.It was well packaged and came with the following...- a dust cover- extra pack of strings (it was already strung but not tuned)- a pack of 9 guitar picks- a pick holder with adhesive backing to stick it onto your guitar (or strap I guess)- a pitch pipe- an electric tuner that attaches to your guitar- a guitar strap- an adhesive backed plastic plate for the front body where you would normally get scratches from strumming (I don't know what it's called)- knobs for the strap already installed on the body and base of the neckI was able to tune it out of the box (although I'll give it a few days to acclimate to the temperature and humidity of our place) and it holds it quiet well. I purchased the coffee finish which actually is lighter than the photograph (it's more of a cognac color) but is still nice to me.All in all this was an excellent purchase for me. I actually wonder if they just had a warehouse full that they needed to get rid of and threw everything but the kitchen sink in just to clear it out! (I don't think so though because nothing was dusty!)For what I got with it, the instrument quality and the price point I give this one 5 stars.

This guitar is a great buy for the cost … Durable , a great choice for a starter guitar!
