This is an excellent guitar all the way around; the price is right on, and the quality of sound will amaze you; don't hesitate to buy, at this price its quite worthy...! I bought one for my daughter and she loves it; I have an acoustic Epiphone costing twice as much, and the Fener CD-60 is right there with it... Great buy! Thx. Hollywood'n AZ.

i have this guitar.its not bad. i learned basic, open chord guitar from youtube also. been playing over a year now. its a good starter guitar. just make sure any guitar u get has a good, straight neck and u'll be good to go. try to get bright d'adarrio strings on it for great sound.they are sturdy/long lasting strings too. a great beginner song to learn is 'down by the water.' by the decemberists. and 'sweet pea' by amos lee.

I just bought this guitar. I am a novice, but my friend is not and thinks it is a great bargain for the money.

It is easy to tune and a great guitar for a beginner. Like any guitar it needs to be taken care of, no guitar will stand up to abuse. Treated with care it is a guitar that can be passed down for generations.

I am not a professional regarding acoustic guitar. What I can do is give you my personal opinion. I love the way it plays for me being a beginner, very easy on the eye and to hold for learning. I know of some-one who was self tough on it and then passed it down to children, now they are learning on it.

No this is the worst guitar I have ever played on. It won't stay in tune. Investing a little bit more money in a better one will be worth your while!

Indoneisa, i wouldnt worry about that tho, if u want a nice acoustic for cheap this is the guitar. It resonates really nice almost like it has an effect. Also, the fret job isnt that bad wich i thouhht it would be when i was purchasing. Its smaller than you think tho so make sure u know what scale guitar yoir looking at before u buy this, it suprised me but im still very sattisfied

I am adult and not a beginner and I use it as a travel guitar. If this is your only guitar, I recommend a full-size guitar. But if you want something small to knock around with, travel or practice with when you are away from home, it's a good choice.

Personally I have only been taking lessons for 8 months now. I heard about this guitar from a friend of mine who has been playing for years and was in a band. He raved about this guitar which made me try it. I have had mine since May and I love it. I am really surprised how good it sounds and looks. It is a full size guitar however for an acoustic it is on the thin side. I did take this guitar to my local guitar shop and had them lower the action which made it so much better for my taste. It sounds good through an amp but I am guessing that is more of an opinion. There are no obvious problems with it. Hope this helps. Personally I have only been taking lessons for 8 months now.

the guitar is an excellent beginner guitar! many left handed persons learn to play same as anyone else, like playing piano. Yes, this guitar is fine ...forget about the left handedness and just play.

I bought this guitar for my daughter..not bad for an entry level guitar. I would buy the bundle...you'll need pics and a tuner

I know I'm a little too late, but I do think it would be a great first guitar for a kid. however it might be a little too big for him. You might want to consider the guitars made for kids his age. Maybe with some of his favorite cartoon characters as well.

Yes. It will be fine. Any guitar will work for you, it just depends on how advanced you are. Just don't go for first act kid guitars. If you're serious about it then you'd want this one

This perfect for a beginner. As I have learned about the pick-ups. Get Fender Squier instead...I just picked one up for $30 put new strings and tuned it up. It Sound like new $300 guitar...xcheck out craigslist in your area. be surprise on the deals U find...action should be 4/64th on high and low strings. check the videos on youtube...

Yes, I think so. I bought it for my son and he's learning how to play it, so its a good starter for beginners. It's held up to being carted around in his pockets and backpack, so its also durable.

I think it is a good guitar for a 10yr old. If the interest fades you're not out a lot. My son likes his and the sound is really nice.

No. The first day or so it will feel different. But after that you get used to it. The OG2SM is a great platform to get started with. I play one and my Granddaughter also plays one. I changed the nuts on mine from hard plastic to bone and that really did well on mellowing the sound out. All in all. The Oscar Schmidt is a good beginner,to somewhat advanced guitar.
