Questions & Answers
After ensuring that the neck was in good working order, I removed the bridge saddle and sanded it down to about 1/32 inch. For me, that was sufficient.
That is a typo or an error; the guitar weighs around 8 pounds. Approximately six pounds
At the nut, it's about 1,1/4 inch, and at the 12th fret, it's about 2,1/4 inch. This is a student guitar, just in case you weren't aware. To keep costs down, the bridge is made of plastic rather than wood. It, on the other hand, remains in tune and performs admirably. I'm a professional who picked up this just to lay down some tracks for some latin music. My usual instrument is an electric guitar. Before you buy, keep in mind that the classical guitar is the most difficult to play. I'm not sure how familiar you are with guitars, but it is the most difficult to learn. The following are the grounds for this: The fretboards are all extremely wide, and the nylon strings are slick and raised much higher than on other guitars. Playing barre chords and single notes is more difficult. It's a good guitar if you want a classical sound, but if you're looking for a cheap guitar (or buying one for someone else), go with an acoustic. The necks are a lot thinner and a lot easier to play with. Few people want a classical guitar, and those who do invest thousands of dollars in one. I wouldn't recommend it to someone who is just learning to play the guitar.
There are no buttons on the guitar's strap.

I held off on writing this review for a few weeks because, after all, you never know. br>Beautiful instrument, the on-the-fly The board electronics are fantastic; it's an inch slimmer than I expected from a classical guitar, but there's no discernible difference in tone or volume; the tuning keys are superior; and it's phenomenal when plugged in. br>I'm not a complete noob- I've been playing for 60 years and own 14 high-end guitars, but I sold my Yamaha classical guitar 40 years ago and have been kicking myself ever since. I heard a few classical pieces a few months ago and decided to get back into it, and believe me when I say that this guitar was the ideal instrument for the job. With the exception of a smear of glue, Run to the sound hole; it's immaculate, and I couldn't ask for a more enjoyable playing experience.
I wasn't expecting the guitar to be as small as it was. It sounds fantastic; However, I am impressed by how simple it is to play. The action is close, which allows the cords to be heard clearly. It's simple to get in touch with them. The large nut allows enough room for each cord to be made, and it only requires moderate volume when amplified. Although there are no flaws and it is finished according to the specifications, the overall appearance is not spectacular. I enjoy playing the guitar, and the only thing I needed to do to set up the unit was tune it. I'm sure I'd be able to play it right away. I'm happy to see that the neck has a tuning rod to help with the action. I believe I made a good purchase and believe it will meet my needs. I am looking forward to many hours of enjoyment with the unit.
When I'm using my Idanez GA5TCE-A, AM Classical guitar, it doesn't really sound that good, I didn't pay much for it, and I also have an Ibanez Acoustic guitar that plays great, so I bought the Ibanez classical based on that. Plugged in, it sounds a little better, but it still doesn't have the sound I'm looking for, the thin body doesn't appeal to me like I thought it would, it's a pretty guitar, feels good, and fits the body well, but the sound isn I changed the types and gauges, but it didn't make a difference. I tried to return it after the 30-day period expired with no luck. I would have chosen a more expensive model, but I can't afford this and another.
I'm new to guitar and wanted to find something that I could actually play rather than something that would be a hunk of junk when it came out of the box. One thing I didn't realize was that your guitar should be completely glued together using high-quality glue. The neck of this guitar is bolted in, which helps it stay in tune while it warms up. But this guitar isn't 600 dollars; it's only $300, and it has a built-in tuner as well as the ability to plug into an amp. It allows you to progress from a beginner to an intermediate guitarist. I now have a good guitar that looks like Willy Nelson's Trigger for a reasonable price, and I can fantasize about more expensive guitars while I save up and learn enough to justify purchasing one. If you're concerned about length, I'm also 25 and 6'2 and the guitar feels great in my hands.
It is well-made. When you plug it into the amp, it's a lot of fun. Flamenco is a style of dance that comes highly recommended. Thin- The body comfort, as well as the fretboard and string action, are all important factors. I'm not sure why people might think it's a beginner's guitar. It isn't as big as a classic guitar and doesn't sound as big, so it might give the impression of being a kid's guitar, but it isn't. It's a performance guitar, so it's perfect for the stage. The ideal setting for a soloist. The electronic is receptive, and it keeps time. It was a bargain from Amazon's warehouse, and it was well worth the money.
I purchased this instrument so that I could easily plug it in during performances (I'm a professional classical guitarist). I find the sound a little too bright, but it's simple to play. The neck has an acoustic or electric feel to it, and it meets the body at the 14th fret. br>br>Though the workmanship appears shabby, it has lasted for over a year. The intonation was good up to the 12th fret after switching strings.
This is a good option if you're just getting started and want to learn something new. If you're an intermediate guitarist looking to branch out into classical guitar, this is a great place to start. The setup was fine right out of the box, but a few tweaks can make a big difference. Also works well with Willie Nelson songs.
You get a lot for your money. Occasionally, there is a fret buzz. The edges of the frets are a bit jagged. This guitar would be perfect with a little light leveling and crowning; the sound it produces is about 10% less than a standard, and the onboard tuner is a big plus because it doesn't stay in tune for long. It will need to be tweaked on a regular basis. It's a must-have for a student guitar, and I wouldn't pay more than $250 for it if I had to put a price on it. It's fine for what it is.
