Project build
Bugiolacchi 28.10.2022
OK, I decided to summarise my review as such: if you build a guitar, you go through 3 stages, 1, the cut and assembly of the instruments, 2 the finishing of the product, 3 quality control.
Here we have a product at stage 1, maybe 1.5. The frets are not "frets", but raw wire that is dangerous to the hands. Everything is unfinished and "sharp", the binding, the bridge, etc. But the fret ends are lethal.
Now, After a couple of hours of filing and sanding down, the instrument is now "finished" and I can review it as an instrument.
Beware that the scale is small. I am a "short man" and still, my fingers find it difficult to play even an E cord. The strings are cheese-wire quality level. The bridge also has to be sanded down and lowered. The neck needed to be straightened and the fingerboard oiled. I repeat and conclude: a cool and cheap "project guitar", but not a finished product.
Strongly not recommended for kids or beginners who could injure their hands along the neck.
Would I buy it again? Sure, for the money as an "expert" I can make it a cute travel guitar. Just beware.

I would not recommend this guitar to anybody. Wanna small size guitar? go with the normal shape 3/4, 2/4 guitars. this one is very difficult to hold and play. Also the sound is very compressed.

Almost useless
Poloman 03.01.2020
From the first day it was losing a good percentage of tone per fret.
After i tried to set it up,it plays better,but it is impossible to play a proper open chords.

Disappointing, Even at This Price
ScottG 17.04.2017
It doesn't really sound that bad for such a small bodied guitar, but I opened three of these at the store during my visit to the store to find one that wasn't horrible.

The one I picked out of the three was better than the rest, but it still had sharp fret ends and several finishing issues.

The guitar doesn't hold a tune at all (likely a combination of bad tuners and the badly cut, plastic nut).

Finally, the design of the guitar makes it terribly neck heavy and downright difficult to play.

A guitar for the beach

Tuning can be wobbly, sound quite muffled… the perfect beach guitar.
