RockJam Acoustic Guitar Superkit Includes Stand, Gig Bag, Tuner, Picks, Plectrum Holder, Spare Strings & Online Lessons 6 Pack, Right, Natural, Full (RJW-101-N-PK)

I have bough this guitar because of the price and because it was supposed to be my very first guitar ever. I had no idea of strings, frets, chord etc . Just decided for myself that i want to self-learn to play it .My only teachers were youtube and some online courses . At first i was very excited. And heard about the fingertip pain and sore hand and stuff. But i did not expect to that painful.It it turned out to be the hight action on this guitar, and really really cheap and hard strings.I have ordered 2 other more expensive guitars to feel a difference, and returned them both. Instead i bought a guitar set up kit for like $25 and set up this guitar that now it plays and sounds like a $1000 top branded instrument.I have went above the returnable period for this rockjam and am so happy i did.A $50 guitar with a $25 kit made my learning so much joyful. Heck, i can easily take a bar chord on any fret.So my advise is to get this guitar if you are only begging, but you need to set it up. Otherwise it will make you think bad about playing one at all.And definitely get some light or extra light strings. I got mine, lowered the action, oiled the fret board, polished the frets and enjoyed the instrument ever since.And be sure that all the people that are saying that it sounds great are right. I had an Ibanez and a Taylorand since cheap piece of music is better.Good luck and play the guitars!!!

Plays well, the strings feels nice, tuners are okay -- don't stay in place super well after lots of playing (though still more than usable). Overall, an excellent beginner guitar and a steal for the price.

Bought this as a knockaround guitar because the price was right (I paid ~$30 on sale), not expecting much.Positives:It didn't come out of the box broken, and came packed in its box inside a larger Amazon box with some wadded kraft paper padding. That common complaint seems to have been addressed by fulfillment.Feels better than expected. It's built like a proper guitar (has internal bracing and kerf strip) and just comes off like a cheap guitar rather than a toy or decorative guitar. It's made from actual plywood not MDF or cardboard. Machine heads are a bit sloppy but functional, and after the initial break in tune ups it holds tune.Included clip on tuner is not anywhere as nice as a Snark, but it's functional if you don't have anything else.Finish isn't terrible, from a few feet away it looks fine, but up close it's obviously a cheap guitar with the expected crustiness. Blue sunburst is actually pretty well done and doesn't appear to be a wood-effect sticker. Top material is 3/32" plywood of some sort.Sounds quite a bit better than expected, it's got a decent volume and resonance, doesn't sound tinny or dull like a tourist shop Uke does.Bridge is firmly attached and didn't crunch, crack, or fly off on tune up.Comes with some spare strings which is nice, and the preinstalled ones did survive a few tune ups while doing the bridge adjustment before I snapped the high E. The included picks are 0.50mm which is pretty appropriate for acoustic strumming, and feel like a bargain bin version of the Tortex picks I like.Negatives:Action was sky high, and the neck seems to have quite a bit of up-bow so it goes from a totally playable 3/32" at the low frets to around 1/4" past the 12th fret. Out of the box you can play open/cowboy chords no problem, but anything past the 7th fret or so it's pretty bad. There's not much that can be done about the bow without getting into a neck reset, but the saddle was also super high so I was able to get it more playable in the upper registers by sanding off around 1/8" of the bottom of it with my belt sander. If you want to mess around with luthiery this is a good piece to start on if you can get it on sale; I may attempt a neck reset at some point.EDIT 11/06/22: I noticed today that it has an adjustable truss rod! It had no tension on it which explains the neck bow. With the saddle adjustment I already did and now some truss tensioning I've gotten the action down to a pretty reasonable "medium-low" and nicely playable level from low to high. This doesn't change my overall verdict since it didn't come out of the box set up but I did bump the star rating up from 3 to 4 since this means you can at least set it up (or take it to a shop for a setup) without having to do anything costly and invasive like a neck reset.It needed to be cleaned out of the box, there was still some buffing compound left over in nooks and crannies.Strap and bag it comes with is the same sort of thin material you get on those cheap mini backpacks that companies hand out tradeshow swag in, but it does work. Bag has no padding, it's more like a dust cover and won't protect the guitar from any sort of impact.Conclusion:If you want a cheap guitar to practice luthiery on, let the kids pluck on to keep them away from your nice guitars, smash on someone's head like El Kabong, or leave in the van or RV for playing 3 chord cowboy songs around the camp fire, it's a decent value for the $30 I paid. You probably can't get anything better for the same price at a pawn shop/thrift shop or off craigslist unless you luck out. If you're serious about learning guitar or buying for a dedicated child that you know will stick with it, I'd recommend getting something more in the $150-$200 range that will likely come out of the box in a much more playable condition. I would have been a lot less happy with it if I paid the normal price of $90 because of the neck/action/saddle issues mine had, at that price point you might as well spend a bit more and get a Squier or Yamaha that's almost certainly have better setup/geometry from the factory.

The original owner had returned it for a minor factory defect. The neck is punctured on all the frets where the dot inlay marker was imprinted. If this were my first ever acoustic guitar, and had I bought it new, I would have returned it too, but this doesn't affect the playability of the instrument and I cosmetically remedied it by inlay decals of my own. The pickguard was put on the wrong way, so I had to remove it and put another one on. The edges of the fretboard could have been filed down better as they are quite sharp in some areas. The action of the strings is just. Usually, I have to adjust the truss rod to lower the strings closer to the neck, but didn't have to do that this time around. Other than that, this is a great guitar. Sound quality wise, it sounds like more expensive guitars especially since I changed the strings out with a set of D'Addario Phosphor Bronze acoustic guitar strings light gauge 12-53's. This guitar is the war horse you take with you camping, hiking, busking, open microphone night first time recitals, what have you. Definitely a keeper.

I'm a casual player and when I saw this cheap guitar , why not? At least if it's sounds really bad I'm going to have a fun you tube bashing laugh out of it. When I got the guitar, it looks cheap, feels cheap, workmanship yells "Cheap Guitar From China!!!" , has a few scrapes but it sounds AMAZING! Well mine does, c'mon , I'm not talking about Martin & Taylor caliber guitars. This is a great alternative cheap guitar that you can abuse to become a good guitar player before you "Sink your teeth" on the expensive ones later on. I got mine for $39.82 sold by , you guest it, Amazon. It includes Stand, Gig Bag, Tuner, Picks, Plectrum Holder, Spare Strings. The tuner alone would cost you AT LEAST $7, Bag $5, Stand $10, Strings $4. It's like getting the guitar for $14. I've spent much more on burgers than this. Would I recommend this guitar? ABSOLUTELY!!! If you're on the fence, now's the time to jump over! Be AWARE!!! You might get a lemon ;(

Muy bonita, excelente para principiantes. Tiene alma y viene muy completa. Me gustó mucho.

A mi hijo le encantó, es de muy buena calidad por el precio. Perfecto para aprender. Llegó antes de tiempo y súper bien empacado con todos los accesorios

El pedido llegó incompleto, no viene la bolsa para guitarra.
