Pyle 36-Inch Beginner Classical Acoustic Guitar Kit, 3/4 Size Junior Nylon String Guitar for Kids and Adults, Includes Gig Bag, Strap, Spare Strings, Picks, Cleaning Cloth, 18 Frets, Natural, Gloss

I've been playing acoustic guitar for over 60 years, and have owned cheap ones, good ones and ones for which you'd happily pawn your grandmother's Picasso. This very inexpensive 3/4-size starter was a perfect birthday gift for my 10-year-old student who was struggling with a kid-sized solid-body and a touchy amp.It's solid, with nice tone and a neck width & length he can handle. The strings must be retuned when new to get them properly stretched, but that happens with all nylon strings. (The guitar ships with loose strings.) The intonation is very good for the price, just a few cents off at the octave. There were no buzzes, and the nut had no sharp edges to nick the strings. The action is a just little high at the body (not unusually so, but a bit too high for playing easily in the higher frets); that's not an issue for playing near first position, which most people do for years. (The action could be lowered with a simply shaving of the bridge, if the frets aren't too prominent.) The nylon strings are a must for kids' fingers on any cheap acoustic guitar. (Tight steel strings and a high action are a major reason they quit early.) The 3/4 size creates a manageable body, shorter scale and smaller fret spaces, all of which help as well.The included "gig bag" is slightly protective; one reviewer called it more a "dust cover," but that's OK. I didn't check out the included YouTube introductory lessons. There's an included tuner and instructions for using it. (Tuning is one of the harder things for kids to learn.)All in all a great value, promptly delivered!

READ THIS IF YOU'RE CONSIDERING BUYING THIS GUITAR!!! I bought this used - very good for 45 bucks about a year ago. I probably would not pay full price, as much as I love it. That being said, IT IS NOT JUNK GIVE IT TIME! I swear half the people leaving negative reviews have no idea how guitars work. I am a full grown adult guitar player, and I've been playing since high school. I'm in college now, and I needed something small and light to travel with. I DON'T USE THIS AS MY EVERYDAY GUITAR! I reach for this guy if I'm messing around with chords, my fingers hurt from my metal strings, or I'm just trying to relax. It's great to practice on, but not so much if you're trying to actually play in front of people. Nylons aren't meant to be used like metal stringed acoustics, they're a separate instrument! It still works for that purpose, though, you can play the same exact songs and chords. If you tune it properly it gets the job done. Great for my college dorm or throwing in the car for a camping trip cus it's super light. Great to practice on when I don't feel like lugging my full sized acoustic around. This is a decent product for the price I PAID. Being a nylon string guitar, you have to stretch the strings and tune it quite a bit (2-4 days is recommended for the strings to settle - watch a youtube tutorial on how to do it) Furthermore, the plastic strings that everyone complains about are standard on a nylon. Heck, the C40 from Yamaha, well established nylon, has the same type (but higher quality, I bet) if I recall. They do go out of tune pretty frequently, especially at the start, but it's not even that much - just retune them! The tuner works well for me, but if you don't like it, just get an app like GuitarTuna. Now, for the guitar itself, it's what I expected when I bought it for 45 bucks, barely even damaged since I got a higher quality used (or less damaged I guess) version, and I have to say, it has really grown on me. Guitars are instruments, not toys. You can't give it to a kid and expect them to learn the ins and outs. If you really want them to learn guitar, buy them a cheap acoustic like a rogue or Yamaha, a C40 is a great nylon but you could also get them a metal string, and get them lessons! Find a music store near you, it might be a bit pricey but it's the best way to learn. Originally I recommended swapping the strings, but it's not worth it to be honest. I got it back in 2021 for 45 USD used, and I love it for what I use it for. If you're dead-set on a cheap starter guitar, or you want an affordable spare, grab this but follow my advice. If you really want to learn, shell out the extra money and buy a tried and true brand. For the full price, 80 bucks is not worth it. Get a rogue for that money. Anyway, that's my rant, hope this helps! (I even bumped my review up from 4 to 5 stars - when I first wrote it, it was 1 star because I didn't understand stretching the nylon strings - IT TAKES TIME! but I genuinely love this thing!) Enjoy!

I was impressed with this guitar. Better quality than I expected and definitely a starter guitar for a child which is why I bought it. It was not perfect but I wasn't expecting perfect so that's ok. A few things to mention are it came with a strap but the guitar only has one post to attach it to. A bit of a head scratcher there. The strings are really cheap. Order a set of light guage nylon strings and replace them. I gave this to a 7 year old and her hands were still a bit too small to play chords as the neck is a little to wide for her right now. I did not use the included tuner I used an app on my phone. It doesn't sound like a full size guitar so don't expect that. It's a beginner guitar and it sounds like one and that's ok. I played it and it was fun. It's a pretty instrument and I hope it last a few years. As of right now I'm pretty happy with my purchase and a 7 year old is really happy.

Such a beautiful guitar!!! I had no previous knowledge of guitars before this. It was one skill I’ve wanted to learn for a while now, I just didn’t know where to start. I ended up buying this one because of the price and the size. A full size 42” guitar cost upwards of $80 or more. I didn’t want the guitar to swallow me whole. Turns out the size of the guitar is perfect! It’s good for kids and adults! I love it’s glossy finish. It’s really well crafted. But most of all the sound is amazing!! I absolutely love playing it. I’ve slowly started to learn how to play, I recommend the app Yousician. It’s free but you can pay for better options on the app.The only thing I see about the product is I don’t exactly know how to use the tuner. Their are no detections. It’s cute but I wish it was user friendly. But you can always use an app. I think Yousician has a tuner but I use the app GuitarTuna that works just as good. Last thing is the case/cover for the guitar is alright it definitely works I just wish it wasn’t so thin. But I understand for the price I paid for everything.Overall an amazing purchase! Came within 5 day in the mail. I recommend it to anyone learning to play and want a great quality guitar without breaking the bank. :)Ps. There is a strap for it but the one shown in the picture is one I made myself but their are plenty that you can purchase that will work with the guitar. (It also comes with a black one).

My daughter was obsessed with learning the guitar but sometimes she changes her mind quickly. So I bought this for her for Christmas. It’s actually really nice for a beginner instrument with plenty of ways for her to learn and develop her skills. Definitely recommend

I've wanted a guitar for pretty much my entire life. I've always been unable to get one because of either lack of money, or not being able to find a good one. When I found this guitar, after a LONG time of looking everywhere on the internet, I knew that I had to buy it. The reviews were good, sure maybe some were iffy, but overall it looked great. It just arrived today, and I'm genuinely SHOCKED at how good it looks. It's polished, has three steel strings and three nylon strings (which I'll talk about later), comes with a digital clip-on tuner, guitar pick, replacement strings and a guitar strap. I'm 5'-5'1 and this guitar is the PERFECT size for me. It's not too small, and not too big (although a little bigger than I expected but that's a good thing because I wasn't sure if it'd be too small for me or not). There are a few cons to this guitar, mainly the fact that the guitar strap doesn't really attach. It has a knob at the bottom of the guitar that you can attach it to but then the instructions direct you to just tie it around the headstock, and that's not really how you're supposed to attach a guitar strap (I mean, I'm pretty sure anyway). I personally don't really need the strap anyways, but if that's a major thing for you that might be a bit of a problem. Other than that, it does look a tiny bit...dinged up? I'm not sure if that's the word for it, but if you look really closely at all the details around the fretboard, it looks a bit scratched up. It doesn't affect the overall beauty of the instrument nor the sound of it, so that's not really a big deal for me but I thought I'd include it in my review for honesty's sake. The problem I do have with this guitar though, is that the nylon strings are VERY loose. I'm not sure if that's just a mistake on my part or what, because frankly this is my first guitar and I'm really not sure if I tuned it correctly (probably not), but I have been told the strings should be okay how they are? Apparently nylon strings are supposed to be looser. Other than that, this is a great instrument and I would 100% recommend buying this if you're looking for a budget guitar. It's not super pricey, it sounds great, and looks beautiful. (I named my guitar Anastasia by the way, she's gorgeous, see the attached picture!)

For a junior size guitar, it is not a bad purchase. I bought it for my daughter (9) who never played before. Not knowing how she'd like it/use it, I didnt want to spend the money on an expensive instrument. Also wanted something that would be a good size, the size is perfect for her to handle.My biggest complaint is the quality (which is what to expect when you pay a cheaper price). with that said, i would have liked it to have shown a little more strenghts. the guitar shipped with almost no tension on the strings. (now i dont know if that is a con necessarily, but an observation). when trying to Tune the strings, the first time i struggled with the tuning knobs keeping tension. after fiddling around for a few extra minutes, all was good.Overall, it does lose its "tune" rather quickly. which depending on the user and their purpose may change the importance of that. I would say anyone who is seriously interested in learning the guitar should spend the money for something better. BUT anyone one sure or for a kid just getting their feet wet, this works great without breaking the bank on a gamble.

We celebrated our family Christmas on the eve of Dec. 27th - I purchased this guitar with all the bell & Whistles shortly before Thanksgiving. It arrived 1st week of Dec. I didn't open the box to make sure nothing was touched. Grandson was so excited with his gift. It came with a very thin bag that basically was going to keep guitar protector from dust. No problem BUT the bag was already zipped and had a broken zipper hang by threads which trying to open bag, the zipper broke completely off. I told my daughter I'd call and have them replace the bag. I called Cust. Serv. on Monday, Dec. 29th shortly after they opened. I was told by "Monica Jerusalem" to send photos (sent 6) & descrip. of what the problem was & at that time I indicated that I sure didn't want to return the Guitar over a broken zipper bag. She'd get back to me shortly. NO response, called again on Jan. 7th & chatted w/different CSR - she told me that I'd have to pay for the shipping of bag. I asked what the cost would be b/c the bag itself would fit in a 5x7 envelope!! She said she didn't know but would get back to me within 24 hrs via email. Haven't heard anything yet (2-28-26). Jan.19th, Monica emailed me asking if I had registered the guitar -why would I if they're not going to replace the bag & also mentioned the conversation w/other CSR & there was NO Paperwork as to how to register. I asked her again about the bag replacement & info. IF I was to register it. Feb. 11th Monica replied with a website to register guitar BUT didn't not respond about bag replacement, as of today, Feb. 28th No Replacement Bag & have NOT heard back from Monica or any other person in regards to this matter. My husband & I believe you purchase from Companies that have good Customer Service, that they'll be there should a problem come up, well this is NOT one of them and I can tell you without a doubt I Will NEVER purchase any more musical instruments from this company nor other companies associated with Pyle. Buyer Beware - Very Aware!!

Fabulous Guitar.I can't play myself, its a present for my kids,I've reordered a second one.Great build quality.

There’s a lot of 3/4 size or kids guitars out there and at this price point don’t expect much. Bought this one as a replacement for another that got damaged and the difference is remarkable. Pay £10-15 more (£57 for this one) than others that appear similar in your search and you will not be disappointed. I’ve played guitar for 35 years and seen countless cheap ‘beginner’ guitars and most are poorly made. This is well made, holds a tune [once bedded in] (majorly important for kids that may not be able to properly tune themselves at first) great action, superb intonation up and down the frets; all in all a great little guitar for the price. Plus you get a nifty little tuner, spare strings, plectrums and a strap. Avoid the others on Amazon and buy this one. Well recommended. Enjoy and I hope you all become accomplished musicians. :)

Everything needed was in the package! My son was very excited to setup and use all the accessories.

الجتيار حلو اوي وجي معاه مل حاجه❤️

Le regalé esta guitarra a mi suegro para que comience a tocar. La calidad de la guitarra es muy buena, casi igual que una c40 de yamaha. Si agregas todos los accesorios que incluye, es un excelente instrumento introductorio para quienes quieren comenzar por el camino de las cuerdas.
