Vangoa 3/4 Acoustic Guitar Kit, 36 Inch Acustica Guitarra Dreadnought Bundle for Beginner Adult Youth Travel With Steel String Spruce Wood Gig Bag Tuner Pickguard, Right Hand

Hello, I'm a 45 year vet of the music, entertainment and production industry. I own, too many guitars to remember at time, as with gear, and all the goodies. I was looking for something inexpensive, but VERY real...something that worked, something that plays, keeps tune, and has a couple features you would be silly not to seek (acoustic/electric AND tuner) in today's gear. Not expecting to find such (I search guitars and gear endlessly it seems), when i plugged in my search parameters this guitar popped up and I felt my temp rise. I thought NO, no way. Now I own 2. SO here's the skinny - I needed something simple, cheap and easy to take to campgrounds, as strolling thing to plug into a tiny belt clip amp. I have acoustic/electrics but honestly, with campfire sparks, hmmmm, not so much. I also have hundreds of electrics, in top end and kids, plus 3/4 and special shapes, etc., etc. But the thing is, I ALWAYS, always build in back-ups - ways to continue if something in one area fails, and having a small clip amp go out (yes i would have a second) does not presume a guitar won't break, so having acoustic ability made sense for both audible, venue, and backup ideas. This guitar, is like...wow, and then some. Don't get me wrong...the finish is vulnerable, the wood is very thin, and the electronics, tuner, and mechanics.... are right on the line. But it works, keeps tune, the action can be adjusted, the harmonics are ok, it plays well, looks good and sound good acoustically, and electronically. You have to be careful with it, and on both units I bought, the 1/4" guitar jack was lose, one already losing the nut and falling inside, requiring removing the strings and putting back together. But, if you're looking for a REAL guitar, for something like throw away use, or a youngster - wow. I think the only thing I would caution is its durability and strength - kids are hard on stuff (I know I do thousands of kids on stage each year). All that said, I kinda fell in love with them, and find myself more defensive for their protection thinking, hmmm, do I really want to use them for why I bought them. But honestly, in it’s class, this is a CRAZY good item and an exceptional buy!

I am a drummer but actually started out playing a ¾ size classic guitar with nylon strings back in 1973 and played for a couple of years. I then started on drums and never looked back. Drumming is still my favorite acoustic instrument today but I wanted to go back to playing the acoustic guitar for my personal entertainment and friends. I found the full length guitar to be a lot more challenging and difficult for me to hold the guitar and chord properly and efficiently. I was unintentionally muting strings a lot. I then purchased this ¾ Vangoa guitar which helped me considerably, correcting all of my playing issues and the cutaway is a real plus because I’m able to rest the guitar on my leg with ease with no more sliding around like the regular dreadnought acoustic body style does. Very little finger pressure is needed on the strings when chording so you can play a lot longer on it. I was surprised of the quality and feel of this guitar. The frets are perfectly mounted and don’t stick out over the sides of the neck, the action out of the box was spot on at .011 inches (the thickness of a business card) at the nut end with a capo on the 5th fret. The guitar just needed to be tuned as to be expected. This Vangoa guitar sounds great and no fret buzz. At first I was getting fret buzz on the low “E” and “A” strings but that was my mistake because I was pushing down way too hard on the strings when very little finger pressure was required so this would actually make a great guitar for young beginners as well as for adults. The jack for the amp is a little loose and the body could use one or two more coats of the lacquer coating in my opinion especially the back and sides but for the price it’s okay because the playability of this guitar is perfect. The tuners insides are metal except the tuner housing and keys are plastic so tune slowly. You could always change and upgrade the tuners if needed. The body wood feels thin and the depth of this Vangoa is a little more than 5/8" thinner than a full size guitar which makes it easier to play. Hopefully it stays tuned and the action stays the same, I will do an update if anything changes. I never seen a picture of a full size guitar next to a ¾ size guitar in any of the other reviews so I thought this one would help for size comparison. Update: 4/3/2019 Guitar constantly goes out of tune and now I can feel the frets sticking past the neck for some strange reason. Still enjoy playing it though.

I'm learning to play again to gain more mobility in my fingers. It's a nice beginner guitar. I replaced the strings with extra light strings to make it easier to chord and the sound is ok. For the money it's a great value. You can add an amp if you want, it comes with a pickup and has a built in tuner plus a tuner for the headstock. It came with picks, strap and a nice gitbag. Overall I'm very pleased with it.

What a fun little guitar! Right out of the bag the guitar looks great! Cool cut away design, embossed logo on the headstock, even the shape of the bridge is cool. I bought this for my kids to play on, but I might have to fight them for it. It's has a smaller neck and scale so it feels more like an electric guitar neck, pretty cool! Sounds pretty good for a smaller guitar, you can't honestly expect a huge full sound out of a guitar this size, but it does sound pretty good! Great for a student, kids, younger players or if you've wanted to mess with a travel size guitar, but don't want to fork over hundreds more for a baby Taylor or Martin LX this would be a great way to go. Maybe just one to keep in the office or take it anywhere in the included backpack style back. Comes with some cool accessories. With the the shorter scale you need to work with the capo a little, figure out the sweet spot to put it, but that's just part of learning and adapting. It's all good. I ordered this one for the kids and one of the full size for myself. Kudos Vangoa!

Came with everything we needed for our 8 year old to start lessons and was impressed with quality of guitar and sound.

Got this for my son as he had been playing the ukelele with his mom and saw guitars being played and asked if he could try as well. He hasn't had a chance to play it as it will be for Christmas but I've opened it up and played a few chords, its really well-built and has a nice sound to it. Looking forward to him opening it up!

I just wanted a small guitar...this has high action, sharp frets and dull tone... But It was like $140 and I know what I'm doing, so I installed a 'fishman' from some random company for like $20 on Amazon...cut this guitar open installed the barn door and everything Amplified with some reverb...this is actually a really good guitar. No, it doesnt check 'luxury boxes' but it checks the fundamental ones.. with the saddle lowered with some sanding, and the spacer taken out the action is 1.7 at the 12th. Lightweight overall, even with a pickup this is a really light guitar which means...if you can actually play the guitar....you can actually get great spound out of this thing and it's small and huggable I prefer this one over the 3/4 cutaway WITH pickup...because Id rather choose the $25 pickup myself and save paying the $70 premium PLUS I hate the idea of a parlour size guitar with a cutaway...like how much of the box are you leaving for the actual sound of the strings? You lose something with every cubic cm of space you cut away and MOST acoustic songs dont require a lot of 15th fret doodling...seriously c'mon guitar makers.. All in all this guitar is the epitome of a 4. It's really great..if the sharp frets bother you, rub a soft suede strap along it over and over again until the smooth out...your calluses will ooth the rest If no one else mentioned the sharp fret ends I wouldn't have noticed..thick skin I guess....from actually playing guitars and not noticing little stuff
