The "C" string is the thicker of the two. Now go and play some tunes. Good luck

It's pretty much as wide as a standard guitar. The frets are just closer together. It's kind of like playing mini chords but it's still pretty fun. The neck is wider than a uke

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...

I don't have the ability to compare to another guitar but I find the fretboard room enough for me as a beginner. I am not a young beginner and if it were any wider, I would have difficulty stretching enough to make the chords. My son occasionally plays around with it, he is also a beginner, and is always complimenting my guitar set up and feel.

Both are great. Especially for this price you can't go wrong. It's not gonna be comparable to a $400 acoustic guitar but it can't be beat at its price. I bought an electric guitar as well and now I'm thinking about selling that because I use this all the time over that. :)

I bought this for my wife who has always dreamed of playing and is in fact self teaching currently. I was quite impressed with her chord progressions the other day. I'm actually a guitar player but to me the action of the piano keys feels just like a piano with ivory keys. Hope this helps.

The guitar sounds lovely and very easy to tune. I haven't done any slide, but I´m sure it will sound great. If you're learning this guitar is good choice. I've checked another one which is very nice and a lot more expensive (A Luna resonator electroacosutic)

Hell Michael! I purchased the resonator a while back and learning to play slide and old Blues. In my opinion, this guitar has outstanding tone and sound, especially when using a glass slide. I have played with the brass piece and find the glass to be a better choice and overall sound. I have gone onto the internet for lessons and find there are several individuals willing to share their talent and ideas. Good luck to you!

I'd recommend this guitar for anyone. I absolutely love mine. My daughter's also loves it!

I haven't played both guitars, therefore I cannot offer an educated / comparative reply. I purchased the LX1 for my 4 year old grandson because I'm hoping that he shows some interest in learning how to play as he get's a bit older. From experience, I know that trying to learn on a cheap, horrible sounding instrument isn't much fun. I've owned Martin guitars for decades and believe in their quality - but quite frankly, my reasoning behind this purchase was based mostly on personal preference. Taylor crafts beautiful, high quality instruments and I have no doubt that their Baby Taylor exemplifies this. I haven't played both guitars, therefore I cannot offer an educated / comparative reply.

Realize, this is Uk. Not guitar. Difference is it's somewhat tuned/stringed like guitar but in 5th frt position. Neck is narrow, as in Ukulele. Adults play ukulele too but don't expect to be like guitar, ie. Martin or Strat.

The important thing to remember here is the strings are NOT silk and steel, the label reads "silk and steel SOFT". If you want a less bright sound get real silk & steel. Martin and D'addario both make them. I have used both brands, they are both mellow. They seem to be more suited to finger picking and strumming with the thumb and finger pads. Try to strum with a pick and you might say "what the heck happened to my guitar"

I choose the A collection for its bright classic sound. The k collection is darker. I will own a set of Ks eventually. I play jazz, rock and power pop music. The cymbals fill my needs and many wants.

Yes, with high G which I changed to a low G. Just an FYI, I also purchased a Kala KA-TE Mahogany Tenor Electric at the same time for my daughter. While the High Tide uke is really nice looking and also plays very well, the Kala I think sounds better. In fact I have also purchased an Oscar Schmidt and Lanikai ukes and the Kala is (in my opinion) the best sounding of all of them. More info than you wanted but thought I would share my thoughts.

Sorry, I answered the question about the wrong uke. I purchased this one as a gift for someone else. I did play it first before gifting it and I am pretty sure that it was Aquila strings as well. Everything else I said still holds true.

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.
