it's okay. maybe not 89 bucks ok but eh. string broke while tooning so might consider getting extra.

The perfect gift for someone who is just starting out on guitar. Also, this guitar is reasonably nice, and it doesn't feel like a toy.

You get what you pay for. This is a low end gautar. It is difacult to fret and tone quality is poor. I obtained this gautar as a instament to keep in practice while on a out of state job. I tried several ajjustments of the neck, and could not obtain a normal feel of the fret board. It requires considerablely more preasure and has a tendancy to buzz when moving from one fret to the other. I feel that as a beginners gaurar, it would be eazier to learn on a higher end gautar.

First of all, it is a well-made guitar. Not saying it's a Martin, but for the money, I don't think you could beat it. I've played some off and on, and I got this for my son because he likes playing piano and wanted to branch out. The only thing that I am still undecided on is the book. It doesn't keep open; you have to lay something on it to be able to see it. I think that it would have been better in a spiral-bound.

There was a defect on the body of the guitar and the thinnest string broke as soon as my husband tuned it. We needed to buy new strings but other than that, it is a good starter kit. A phone tuner is much similar than using their provided tuner because it kept reading to go up and down even when it turned green. Guitar bag is plastic but it's better than nothing.

I bought this guitar for 8 year old my daughter without any prior knowledge about guitars. I really like the fact that it came with the tuner. Also, having the 3 picks helps because my daughter tends to lose things often. The book and cd are helpful on teaching us the basics. We are still learning.

This guitar is fine for someone who wants to start playing, but doesn't really know if they will even have time to learn. Why spend a ton of money on something that you are not really sure you will keep up with. This met all of my expectations and if I can learn and enjoy playing then maybe I'll get an expensive one. For now, this is perfect.

As others have mentioned, the strings are very weak; we accidentally broke one while trying to tune it. The thin strings also lead to a weird reverberation when strumming. We have had to buy new strings and a new tuner just a week after purchase. The tuner that came with it wasn't picking up on the strum of the lower strings. The good thing about the thinner strings is that it's easier on the fingertips of a new player.

I am rating this product two stars simply because of the accessories that comes with the guitar. 1st I would have liked a bit more instruction on how to use the tuner. It would have been helpful to know where to put it on the guitar. The book that comes with it does not offer any information about how to actually use the tuner. (I now know that it goes on the head of the guitar thanks to YouTube.) 2nd I'm not a fan of how the Guitar for Dummies is written (personal preference) and 3rd the guitar case is way cheap. The zipper broke after only 3 days. I would suggest that if you planned on carrying your guitar around, like for instance back and forth to lessons, that you order another carrying case because this one is unreliable. Now about the guitar itself, I really like it. I am new to playing the guitar and I wanted an inexpensive guitar to start off with just in case I lay it down to never pick it up again. I would only recommend this product to a friend for the guitar itself. Accessories that came with it totally sucks. Oh and by the way it also came with an allen wrench that I don't have the slightest clue what I'm supposed to do with it. Oh I forgot to mention that I broke a string on the first day but I believe that was due to the lack of instructions that came with the tuner. News flash you are selling this bundle based off the For Dummies series; so why assume that the people who are buying this bundle knows how to tune a guitar.

Bought this guitar thinking it would be an Ebay sell if it didn't sound good. Boy was I wrong, this guitar sounds good, and I can play it easily. Trust me, if you have a son or daughter who is thinking about playing the guitar, this is the best starter guitar for them to learn on. And if your child wants to go further than the lessons in the 120 page book included, then as a parent shell out the dough to the guitar instructor or the broadband fees for the internet. No they don't have to buy the Guitar For Dummies 2nd Edition to play like the big boys. Have them learn under a patient guitar teacher and then they will learn to really play as long as they practice. Kudos to Kona for this giutar, but I have tow things to tell prospective buyers of this product. You will need two things to play and protect this guitar. 1. At least 3 sets of guitar strings (one set to put on this guitar once you buy it. Light guage is great for beginners) and a First Act Electronic Guitar Tuner from Wal-mart.com to tune the new set of guitar strings. The other two sets of guitar strings are for when you or your children wear out the first set of strings. 2. A padded gig bag for lugging the guitar to the guitar teacher or a friend's house to play. Or if you have the cash, a hardshell guitar case for an Acoustic Guitar. You don't want to have a 100+ dollars guitar broke by your teenage son or daughter who you bought it for, or you don't want to accidentally break it yourself. That would make you feel so low. I can't thinkj of anything else.
