3rd Avenue Acoustic Guitar

As a 60 + year-old who just wanted to try to learn a new hobby and wasn't sure how he would get on I am delighted with this set considering the price even before deducting the extras I wasn't expecting much but this is well put together looks good and stays in tune really well I'm no expert but it may not be the best quality materials but you wouldn't know to look at it and the tone sounds lovely , I honestly don't think you could do better for the money if you're looking to find out if you'll like playing , yes a guitar shop would guide you better for the right guitar for you but you would pay at least three times the price, I will update later once I've learned more about playing and adjusting string height etc but long story short for under sixty pounds unless it falls apart you can't go wrong. UPDATE- having taken the plunge and watched a few YouTube videos on lowering the action everything else looked fine so took 3mm off the bridge above and it's now much easier to play not as difficult as I thought although as a new bridge is only a few quid on here with some other spares highly recommend you get a spare incase you muck it up , still think a great beginners guitar only had it a few days and already can play three cords

Bought as a Christmas gift for a complete beginner. It has everything you'll need to get started and everything was well packaged, quickly delivered even though it was going to Slovenia, and arrived safely. Shame there was no option to write a gift message. Complaints from others about the thinness of the guitar's bag are to be ignored and it's a shame they lowered the review because of it. If you are concerned about the transit of your guitar, the last thing you'd be using is a fabric bag anyway. And given the price of the guitar itself, it's not a big deal. They're more a dust cover than anything anyway. With the price of this guitar package, those comments really are unrealistic and delusional. I wouldn't stick my Takamine in one, but for this guitar, I'd be absolutely fine with the bag! And to be pedantic about how the guitar is made because it's not to high standards that some people have expected are far fetched, as is stating their musical expertise as an excuse for talking about a beginner guitar from a low end manufacturer and expecting better. Maybe they should check the plenthora of video/text reviews online before buying instruments or recommending them in future. It's an extremely cheap guitar with a bag, stand, strap, capo, tuner, head tightener and plectrums. It's a steal! In comparison, I have an £850 guitar, have a Gator hard case for it at £70, capo for £20, strap for £10-15 and a stand for £10. That's £960 over this set for £57! You definitely don't want to spend any more for a complete beginner who wants to teach themselves guitar and have everything they'll need, except extra strings. FYI strings are a personal preference so don't worry they're not in the set. Plus they're super cheap and if you need to know information about anything to do with guitars, head to a music shop where you'll get all the information you need. Staff are always really helpful and a great place to go when your beginner player is more advanced and can test a range of good quality guitars. Maybe that music teacher should have advised their student and family about that instead of saying to go to Amazon for one...

First of it looks good, which is probably half the battle if bought for younger beginners. It sounds fine to an untrained ear and it seems to hold tune well. My only criticism is the action is incredibly high. This is common with cheaper guitars but I have seen other entry level guitars that aren’t made this way. It means it doesn’t take long before you feel you’re held back slightly by the guitar. Of course a professional could no doubt play well on it but the high action makes it extremely difficult to change quickly between chords. I assumed I just wasn’t particularly good yet but after having a go on a friends guitar I could play much easier and it has made playing mine a little frustrating. One bridge pin also likes to work it’s way out, not a major issue as just needs pushing back in and the string in question’s tune checking. In summary I wouldn’t NOT recommend, but if you think you will stick at guitar, maybe consider investing is a slightly more expensive one that will last you longer.

The 3rd Avenue Full Size 4/4 Acoustic Guitar Pack for Beginners, including 6 months of free lessons, has been a fantastic gift for my son. He loves it and proudly stands it in his room when not playing. The guitar feels good to hold and play, and the included accessories and lessons make it ideal for a beginner. It’s a great way to encourage a love of music and practice, while the lessons provide a structured start. Overall, an excellent starter pack for anyone looking to get into acoustic guitar.

Great for a beginner, everything you need to get started is there in the box. I would recommend it to anyone thinking about learning the guitar.

Good for beginners , very high action ,so you have to work for a good sound , but that’s good for learning , beautiful color , the truss rod in mine did not work , so you will be buying a new one shortly after you learning how to play, but good price

The string height is too high, I measured the 6th string at the 12th fret and it is 5mm.The capo itself is also jittery and not good quality at all. It is very inexpensive, so if you can maintain it by yourself or have knowledge about it, this guitar is good. It is not recommended for beginners.It is more difficult than other guitars and you are more likely to fail.

The guitar was faulty.

La relación calidad/precio es bastante buena. El diseño está muy llamativo,en el unboxing encontramos todo bien separado y la guitarra bien protegida. Tiene unos pocos restos de pegamento en el mastil, pero es simple cuestión de cosmética, no afectan la calidad de sonido para este tipo de instrumento inicialmente. La guitarra viene con las cuerdas sin afinar, has de ser cuidadoso en la primera afinación para no sobrepasar las notas y dañar el puente. Usa el afinador si no tienes el oído desarrollado para conseguir una buena afinación. Una vez afinada suena bastante bien, las cuerdas están un poco juntas, como en toda guitarra acústica pero viene bien y es muy fácil para aprender a tocar con púas. El resto de accesorios es de buena calidad y funciona todo perfecto. El soporte para guitarra es estable y de poco peso, lo que lo hace fácil de manejar. Aunque su sonido es bastante bueno para una guitarra económica, recomiendo la compra para alguien con ganas de aprender, que tenga pocas expectativas pero que disfrute de la música con cualquier clase de instrumento.

Bonne guitare
