Classical Guitar with Soft Nylon Strings by Hola! Music, Half 1/2 Size 34 Inch for Junior Kids Model HG-34GLS, Natural Gloss Finish - FREE Padded Gig Bag Included

I suppose I'll have to ruin the fun here. It may only be a $100 guitar, but I prefer to get exactly what I ordered when I make a purchase. What I got was not the same as what you see here. The top is much lighter in color than shown in the photos, the heel is missing a piece and is not flush with the back of the guitar (as shown in the photos), and the bridge is unfinished. It's just a piece of rough-looking wood (unlike the polished one in the photos), and it doesn't even appear to be glued straight. The clear coat on the top is unevenly applied and pitted, the glue job on the neck around the sound hole is sloppy, the paint job on the fretboard is also sloppy, and the inside of the headstock is not finished at all (just has some random splatter from when they applied varnish around it). As a result, the pictures do not accurately depict the situation. Some may argue that these are minor cosmetic flaws, but if Hola scrimped on the bridge finish, I have to wonder what kind of shortcuts they took with the guitar's structural assembly (hidden parts). br>It sounds good, but it doesn't keep the tune (I had to retune a couple of times while playing, which is bad because I'm a beginner who doesn't play very hard). That could settle with time, but I could have returned it sooner. I just don't like the fact that I'm being sold something other than what's advertised. It doesn't matter what the cost is. They can afford it if they say I can have what's in the picture for $115! So that's what I'm supposed to get from them. Period.

5" scales), as well as a Fender Mustang 90 (24" scale). I'm a big fan of small-scale guitars, which are hard to come by, and I decided to take a chance on this one because it looks like it has a 23-inch scale length, which I confirmed. br>I couldn't wait to get the instrument out of the box and was blown away by its sheer quality. It's stunning, and you'd think it was much more expensive. br>After tuning it up and playing a few blues riffs and some fingerstyle, I was blown away by the projection and commanding "voice" this little guitar has! This is without a doubt one of the best deals I've ever come across. It's easier to play fingerstyle on it because the strings are slightly further apart, making it easier to get your right hand fingers onto the strings without slipping. br>br>This is a lovely first guitar for a young person just learning to play, and I noticed that several other physically smaller adults had purchased it for themselves when I read the reviews. It's easier to get your right arm over and play chords with it than with a 24. 75" or 25" are the options. 5" scale. This price point is nothing short of incredible for such a lovely instrument. This is a value that should not be overlooked, whether you are purchasing it for a child or for yourself. You will not be dissatisfied with your purchase.

Everything seemed* fine at first, but after a full day had passed I noticed that two of the back braces had been cracked and one brace (the lower bout 'waist') was% (Not the manufacturing facility). Adam from Hola! appeared around the same time. A customer follow-up letter was sent by instruments. up email. I responded to Adam, explaining the situation with the broken back braces. I told him, however, that I liked the guitar and that I planned to keep it. I assured him that I could glue the braces to the back of the body with relative ease (which I did). He graciously sent me a new set of D'addario carbon treble strings in exchange for my time and trouble. He was extremely responsive to my concerns and took swift action in response. On this guitar, I strongly advise using carbon treble strings. They make the e,b, and g strings sound much brighter and 'cleaner.

If you're a seasoned player who has previously set up an acoustic guitar, you'll find this to be a delightful little gem to work and play on.
