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.

Im a beginner and this is perfect for me. Very complete.

He really enjoyed it to learn the basics on this guitar and helped him appreciate the sound. It was easy to play.

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

I feel that the quality control is questionable. However this guitar package is only $40. That's a pretty good deal for someone just wanting to learn how to play guitar. This might be good for that person who's not sure if they really want to do it or not. The guitar itself came scratched up. But it worked okay. I agree with people who posted their reviews before mine that this guitar is ment for nylon strings and not for steel strings. I kept the steel strings on mine knowing that the bridge could possibly pop off at some point. I just needed a guitar to bang around and to take camping from time to time and not worry about it being destroyed. For the most part it sounds okay. I am worried about the bridge being pulled off eventually due to the tension of the strings. The tuning machine heads are ment for nylon strings. I do like the style of the floral pick guard. The intonation is off on this guitar, it is a bit hard to tune. The tuning flute that came with it is way off. It is complete garbage just throw that away. The electric tuner worked okay. The high e string broke off the second I tried to tune it. I put an electric guitar high e string on it and it seems to work okay for now. Overall this is an okay guitar for a beginner who's not sure if they want to continue playing guitar or it's a good guitar to take camping and bang around. It's just okay. The neck is a bit warped and there is no truss rod. This guitar also smells like glue! If you don't like the smell of super glue don't buy this guitar. The quality of this guitar is definitely mediocre however it's only $40 and it comes with the case in a bunch of pics and some different tuners and also a replacement pack of strings. I guess being this cheap you get what you pay for. It'll work for me for a year or two but then it'll probably break and I'll get rid of it and buy something better.

The cardboard "pick guard" wasn't attached but I'm getting it to replace a broken classical so this is actually what I wanted. Looks and sounds great. I realized "parlor" sized guitars are the tone I want. I tuned it low to start and let it situate.Update: I tuned it *once* (low) when I first got it and it's still in tune! :) Totally not like my nylon classical.
