Glen Burton GA204BCO-BK Acoustic Electric Cutaway Guitar, Black

When you get it, you'll realize how great it is for the price. The book will definitely remain in my collection! It's an absolutely gorgeous guitar. I have owned some $5,000+ models and some $100 "disposable" axes and have always been blown away by the quality. My first thought when I saw the flamed top was that it was stunning. Despite its cheap appearance, it has a great look. There is some wear and tear on the fret board, but you do not expect too much. There are no sharp edges on the frets, and they are nicely crafted. As for the tuners, after a minute of initial tuning (with the included chromatic tuner), I played it for a few hours and it maintained its tune without a problem. A warm tone accompanies the well-projected sound of the guitar. The rattle and vibration did not occur to me. Plugging in the amp that came with the set was the next step. It's not the best amplifier in the world, but as a free practice amp it's not bad either. I plugged in my Peavey amp and it worked like a charm. Those sound like awesome ideas. As well as the guitar, there was a so so gig bag, few picks, a strap, a truss rod key, some cheap guitar cord, an extra set of strings, and batteries for both the tuner and In terms of its capabilities, it features a three band EQ with a gain control, volume control, and battery tester. This was one of the best deals I have ever gotten in almost 37 years of playing. I paid $140 for it all and I would recommend it to anyone. Do not waste your time and money on anything less than this great practice guitar that will even enable you to play a show. I alone picked up a guitar that is worth three times what I paid for the complete package. Checking out more Glen Burton guitars sounds like a good idea to me.

I enjoy my guitar, it's built to look as if it's a premium instrument The amp appears to be a high end model but closer inspection proves otherwise. I was fine with that but had to remove the rear cover of the amp in order to reconnect the power wire that had been disconnected during shipping just in order The amplifier would still not produce sound after it was turned on. When I tested the amp and cable with another guitar, I found that the amp played fine. I had to replace the guitar battery that came with the unit with a brand new one, but the problem I am convinced that the issue lies with the pickup under the bridge or the onboard electronics after removing the strings and checking the connections inside the instrument. I'm hoping the replacement product will work better, but buyers should be careful when ordering this item. Although the guitar is beautiful for the price, it has certain quality control issues that make me wonder, especially once the Amazon product support period has expired.

You can't go wrong with a guitar like this. It was not the best sound quality, but it still had a good full body sound to it. Restring it (After restringing. Strings that are included in this piece are garbage). This piece comes with a nice amp. It was going to be used as a practice amp for my bass, and it worked fine. It's nothing I could use for other instruments but it definitely lets me hear what I am He also uses it as a practice amp for electric guitar, and he says it works just fine. It doesn't even have any functions, it is just a simple amplifier. The price is definitely worth it.

It has never surprised me that during my thirty years of owning/learning/playing guitars, I have never purchased one that I did not immediately adjust the bridge, file down the nut, reset the neck, etc, just to make sure it did not hurt my hand while playing. I'll lay it out for you. When a guitar is purchased new, the strings are typically set so high above the neck that you have to rely heavily on your hands to play -- it can be so painful that you dread picking it up. It's very hard to concentrate on learning if this is the situation. In fact, it can scare many people off at the very outset. Reviewing is not my normal practice. In my humble opinion, I can only add to what has already been said by other positive reviews. You have to pay $140 for it. There is a price tag of $00 on the bag. Don't expect perfection, so don't expect it. The action had not been mentioned, so I simply added it, since no one else had also I have not needed to adjust the action on any of the guitars I have (at least not yet) since the guitar is ready for playing right out of the box. If I ever get a chance to change them out to something I like better, you'll most likely want to do the same, however, they'll work fine for a beginner. Again, my main goal with this review is to focus on how easily this guitar can be played. Despite the fact that it costs over half of what I anticipated, I expected to get more than what I got. That is why I gave it an overall rating of 5 stars and a rating of 5 stars for each of the features as well. Because of the quality of craftsmanship and the price, it gets five stars for "for beginners". The action makes it very easy on the fingers (when compared with "cheap" guitars), which means it helps beginners concentrate on learning chords and methods more easily. There isn't a "full size" acoustic guitar that is easier to hold, so it is 5 stars for its ease of handling. * * *Tuner Works on Amp * I use it as a practice amp, and it works * EQ/Preamp *There is a small scratch on the face which was covered with finish before it was spotted, but it is easily overlooked for the price. I haven't seen this level of playability straight out of the box on a guitar under (Which often means pawn shop guitars are even less playable since they've been broken by people who wanted to play it while it was there, before you take it home).

I bought this guitar as a Christmas present for my son to learn on as a beginner instrument. Besides playing tuba in the band at his high school, he would like to learn more. During the busy high school band season, he tried to put on the sleeve to practice today and was unable to do so. A guitar fell to the ground three times We banged it on 4 feet of thick carpet, and the fretboard/neck section cracked. As you can see in the picture, the hole on the fabric strap split. From the beginning, I am an Amazon PRIME customer, but this is by far the worst service I've experienced, and I am beginning to wonder if I would be better off looking This is unacceptable. There needs to be a correction made.
