Pyle Beginner Acoustic Guitar Kit, 3/4 Junior Size All Wood Build Nylon String Instrument with Capo, Gig Bag, Strap, Extra String Set, Guitars for Beginners Adults and Youth, 36" Blue Burst Gloss

First off, I've been playing classical guitar my whole life. I was so excited when my youngest son told me he wanted to spend his savings on his own classical guitar and wanted me to teach him to play. It's basically the thrill of a lifetime for me lol.I am extremely satisfied with this guitar as his first step. I'll explain why. But first I need to address multiple reviews here that rate this product negatively due to its inability to keep tune.I can assure you, there is not a brand new set of nylon strings on the planet that will stay in tune until they've have been stretched out. So yes, if you are inexperienced, you may wonder why this guitar can't stay in tune long enough to play a single chord.What you need to do, is over tune the strings so they are much higher than they should be. Then every hour or so, go back and do it again. They will have loosened up a lot, and will need this several times. Before bed, make sure you tune them nice and tight (high). But don't break the strings lol. Slow tightening.In the morning. You should notice that they are holding tension much better. You may need to keep up this process for as long as 3 or 4 days in some cases. It is very dependent on the strings. My best suggestion, is invest in good strings. They are cheap. I recommend Ernie ball brand strings personally. My next choice would be admira as they have a great classical ring to them.This guitar is perfect for learners. Nylon Strings are MUCH preferable to young fingers. They will be able to play longer. Part of playing guitar, is developing calloused fingertips to make playing the instrument bearable.Young aspiring guitarists need to be made aware.. This HURTS when you're getting started. No way around it, but nylon strings are a much more gentle transition for new fingers.The neck on a classical guitar is flat and wider than a traditional acoustic guitar,that boasts a more narrow, curved neck.The Spacing on a classic guitar makes notes played more deliberate. Allowing more early instances of your young player getting to strum all 6 strings without muting any of them.The wider neck however.. It's harder to play. The fingers need to reach farther, making chord transitions challenging. I think this is HUGE in developing technical skills early. I mean REAL skills. The kind you don't see everyday.I absolutely want my child learning with this element in play. I realized at a young age, that I could play all my friends acoustic guitars so very easily after learning on a classical. It felt like I was cheating somehow, or like I was somehow playing the guitar on "easy mode".This is because I had to work harder to articulate my fingers on the classical guitar as I was learning.The size of this guitar is perfect for 9 -11 year old children to hold properly.The quality is fine. I was not expecting a symphony quality instrument here when I recommended my little guy buy this. But it is more than sufficient to create quality sounding music.I would NOT want a lot more quality out of this instrument and here is why.This will be obsolete very soon unless you have another youngster on deck to pick it up after. They grow fast. They learn fast.He needs this to wail on a few years tops and he will be starting to think about getting his first full size, quality instrument. That is what the Money should be saved for. Not for a junior guitar.Kids are clumsy. You want something that isn't going to break any hearts if damaged. You want something easy to replace in the worst case scenario. This is that guitar.It has a sturdy body, it looks great, it sounds fine. My kid has a heart of gold so I just assume he'll give it away to one of his little cousins or something when he outgrows it. LolAs a lifetime classical guitar player, trust me when I say this is ALL you need if you've got a little one wanting to learn for the first time. Get something crazy when they're ready for it. And buy it in a shop if you can! (.... Hate this pandemic ha ha)Enjoy everyone, I hope some of this was helpful to someone.Thanks seller. 5 stars

The colour is beautiful on this guitar. Perfect size for beginners. Comes with everything you need to start playing a guitar. Sounds great! Very pleased with this purchase

We gave this guitar as a gift to my grandson for Christmas. It has been a perfect gift. Just the right size for a 9/10 year old and he should be good to use it until he is ready for a full size guitar. The blue colour is vibrant and really pretty. It was wonderful to have everything included that he needed to get started. The tuner is easy to use and has been very helpful. Although it needs to be tuned each time it is played it is now going out of tune less and less each time (the nylon strings go out of tune more quickly than the wire strings).

We ordered the blue guitar and did not open the box till Christmas Morning. It was not blue but brown. My daughter was disappointed as she had been asking for a blue one for months.It will do the job as it is a nice guitar, just disappointed it came the wrong colour.

There was A LOT of scratches and scuffs on this guitar. Being purchased new I am dissatisfied with the look. I could have purchased used looking better.
