Honest Unboxing and Review Amazon Best Selling $40 Acoustic Guitar - Guitar Buyer's Guide

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 ก.ย. 2018
- In our brick and mortar music store we see parents come in on a regular basis with guitars that they purchased online, often from Amazon for their child. The idea is that the kid may not stick with it so they don't want to spend too much money. This is an understandable sentiment but when you look at budget options on many e-commerce sites like Amazon they come from brands you have never heard of. Is it even possible to manufacture, ship and sell a guitar that is a good isntrument. Is there any value in a $40.00 acoustic guitar that you purchase from Amazon? Tons of shoppers think that's the case, so we wanted to see what the deal was for ourselves. For those of you that are on the fence about purchasing your first guitar, well this one's for you. We went to Amazon, look at the top selling guitars, picked the color we liked and ordered. The guitar came shipped to us in a box that was thankfully, not damaged in shipping and we unbox and review for you live to be completely honest and transparent and the guitar and what you can expect.

the guitar is just the add on, the real value is in the pick
There must be diamonds in that thing
very true

Austin I thought it was in the packing
Stick a handle on that you could dig your garden over no problem.
Its the kinda guitar you play around the campfire, and then toss in.
LOL
Hey, that guitar could save your life if used as firewood in a survival situation. Use the low E string to create friction on the neck in a sawing action, and you'd have fire before Tom Hanks!
😆
I laughed so hard at this lmao
😄😄😄
This is the guitar I have
And I am scared to watch this video
Hahaha if it works for you then the video shouldn't matter.
Well it works alright
Luckily the bridge didn't come off or anything xd
But in the future I do wanna get a better one. I just started not so long, so got a cheaper one in case I won't be that interested (but I am really interested lol)
I Tried my friend's guitar and it felt a lot nicer then this
Well if you want any help when you upgrade you should call our store! We have a lot of great sales consultants who can help you find a great fit!
😂😂
I also was planning on buying this guitar but my dad surprised me with a different classical guitar with actual nylon strings. I am kind of happy I did not buy this but still everyone has a different experiences with the same guitar.
A guitar teacher once told my brother, “ never buy a cheap instrument to learn on, it will turn you off on learning how to play” what do you mean? “ it’s cheap for a reason, it will be harder to play, won’t sound good, and has no resale or trade in value”
After I mistakenly bought this type of guitar I was going to return it for a refund and the guy was like I'll give you a partial refund to keep the guitar, that's how bad this thing is even the company that knows it's garbage doesn't want to have to take it back. 😆
@@salemmayhem6349 lmao savage af
Sounds like a bad marriage
Learn how to play and sound well on a cheap guitar that is not easy to play and then move more and more upwards to the more expensive ones. Your future self will thank me later on when you can play better than all of your friends because of the hard effort you put into making that garbage can with strings sound great.
You can get some cheap guitars (cheap as in affordable) that are good. However, if your paying less than you would for a good cable, then idk what you expect 😂
This video has me rethinking the $17 bungie jumping kit i have in my wishlist

I wouldn't trust my life on a $17 kit. My life worth more than $17 :))

“Not usually nervous when tuning up a guitar”
Dude how, I’ve been playing for 14 years and still think it’s gonna pop and stab me in the face.
Yeah I tune up from behind bullet proof glass
I'm scared while down tunning them, they still break then too
I think we all are nervous..
WE know it can and will happen.. but when..
@@mba1234 the suspense sucks
50 years and I still have that fear!
I learned in a $20 guitar.... it was impossible doing an F chord on it. (Simply because no sound would come out of it when pressing all the strings) a lot of people told me to just put it in the trash because it was "useless". But my parents did not have money to get me anything better... so i tried incredibly hard and never gave up despite the fact it was so hard to play it, my hands would hurt a lot when playing it for long periods of time and didn't really make much progress in months..
Now 13 years later I have my own studio, I play classical guitar, electric guitar, drums, bass and piano and still have that 20 dls guitar sitting in my studio as a reminder that its not about the instrument, its about YOU and your willingness to get as far as your imagination will allow you to, just keep grinding.... you can do it.
I also started my journey on what most would call rubbish, mine was nailed together with 3" oval nails with no glue at the heel (neck joint) as it had previously came away on the previous owner. It went out of tune every 10 minutes so I learned how to tune it real quickly by ear.
I learned to play all a beginner could want to learn on that guitar.
My parents also did not have much money at that time. It was a time for making do with what we had or could obtain while still putting food on the table.
Some folk will have learned on scrappers, some folk won't even learn on the best.
I enjoyed your story Pardo very much! Thanks for sharing.
same my fingers are hurting, especially my pinky that high e string is so hard. thinking about selling my better pc parts just for a better guitar lmao.
I lost hope and this comment came to rescue.
Love it…… your parents did their best and you rewarded that with perseverance , dedication and effort . Beautiful comment.
Me: buys 50$ guitar used online
Also me: *nervous sweating*
50 is probably better quality than 40 haha if you’re ever looking for a new one hit us up!
You get what you pay for...but I believe itll be better than this....thing
i got my self my first guitar on online at 31 dollars it doesnt have any problem on bridge the string is brand new and i tuned the guitar with guitartuna its still fine.....................and i hope i will not face any kind of problem
and yeah they just gave me the guitar and 3 pick(normal small pick) nothing more

@@comradeabby3141 false. That's a bad guitar. Even a 150 dollar guitar would be 1000 times better than that guitar.
About 13 years ago i went and bought one of these guitars, mine is red and black, it was first guitar i was so happy when i got it. My mum paid $26 and im so grateful for it. In fact i still have it, it’s true that it ‘s a piece of crap but its my piece of crap. I do recommend doing what this guy said and replacing the steel strings with nylons strings.
Isn't like the steel strings are better then the nylons?
@@ifz4l695 You can't put steel strings on a classical.You will destroy the guitar,the steel strings has a big tension,and the guitar can't resist the tension(about 70kg)
Nylon strings has about 30kg tension.

This is the first time I ever watched someone tune up a guitar thinking they should probably be wearing safety goggles.
i was cringing the whole time, espesially when i was sped up, sounded like a mandolin, even scarier to tune up
@@kennethdon3619 u never experience that???
@@Lorenjonathan i do, always worried when tuning up the e string, especially on amandolin, its e is an octave higher
i actually was loosening the strings before a flight and the high e string snapped and scratched me across the face
I'm that type of person that considers wearing safety goggles whenever tuning a guitar's e-string...
I'm a piano guy but when I was at high school, my best friend was a guitar lover, he would talk about them literally All THE TIME. And his enthusiasm made me want to learn the instrument, so I bought one, of course, I was just a random teanager with no further knowledge about guitar so I took the first "cheap" (already a pain in the but to get here in my country mostly for teanager) one that I saw (around 60 $ if my conversion is correct), so I started looking at online courses, after 3 months of playing or so, I was getting nowhere so I just thought I suck at it. Not so long after that, there was a party in my school and we brought all of our guitar, and I found out absolutely no one could play my guitar!!! Seeing that, I took another chance and bought another guitar but this time, my friends helped me choosing a good one... and here I am now years later, still with this guitar, and can now say officially that I do really suck at playing this instrument.... 😑
Parito I can give a few tips.
1. Stick to one song, I recommend something easy with only tabs, no chords for now.
2. You can play something like Happy birthday or a famous tv show song me was (gravity falls) it really helped a lot.
3. When you mess up don’t keep on going restart over until you got it
4. Stretch your fingers
5. Relax and get comfortable
6. And if you can play most easy songs try playing Ode to Jay, that’s the best beginner song that can really help you improve trust me.
I loved the plot twist
😂✌🏾
Dude don’t wanna boast but i can play bunch of songs with ease and can even play the infamous f bar cord without any problem and I’ve been playing for 7 months now. You just have to be persistent and practise every day 😊
@@elijahwali995 recommend how much hours to pour everyday? currently sticking on 1hour/day

it's not that bad tho :)
@@danill4381 fender guitars are so cool tbh
Mines come tomorrow, how is your holding up ??
I bought a $50 full size black matte 6 string guitar as my first guitar. It feels really cheap but solid at the same time. nothing has broken and I have been playing it for months and it sounds really good, today I ordered my first 12 string 😁
A 12 string is a big move up!
I like that - "don't sue us" disclaimer. Imagine that as a legal defense? Your honour, I was VERY clear in not wanting to be sued.
Buying a $40 used guitar ... might be a better option
Absolutely. My most recent purchase was a German-made 1965 Oscar Teller classical guitar in ...VG? condition (a few scratches on a 50+ years old guitar). About $40. Including a fairly good textile gigbag.
Old acoustics can be had for bugger all, good deals to be had
Some $20 guitars are actually playable. But then again some aren’t. Usually the classical guitars with steel strings are the ones that give you a tough time. Overall if you’re looking for a guitar its best to buy one from Guitar Center. Every instrument at Guitar Center will be playable.
I got a 500 pesos guitar which is about 25 dollars over here. It was ok it was an average guitar but had a very thick neck (playing bar chords was a real struggle!!!) and it had cheap wood. It still looked pretty nice and worked enough to learn the basics. I later upgraded (if you can call it that) to a used $60 TOKAI GAKKI FRANCISCAN Model No.51 guitar (its Japanese or something). It's way better than my first guitar but since it's pretty old tuning is a struggle, and it has some scratches in the back and front. It also has a crack that's been "fixed" in the bottom. Also when you use a capo the strings sound off, they sound to pressed on idk how to explain it. But overall it still manages to please me (in other words I can't afford a better one).
Steven - have to disagree on the Guitar Center comment. They move so much volume that they tend not to setup any instrument other than the upper tier guitars. I’ve picked up multiple instruments that had severe playability or electronics issues. I actually favor pretty high action (I play upright and electric bass), but I’m talking about unrealistic setups.
Classical guitars by definition always have nylon strings, never steel. I suppose you could find gut strings somewhere.
As someone who worked in a few guitar stores, I’d also say that a new $100 steel string is often more playable than a used instrument- even at a similar price point. Used instruments are a mixed bag. Some great buys to be found, for sure, but unless you know what to look for, it’s buyer beware (used or new).
Many folks quit as a result of a hard to play instrument, one that won’t stay in tune or simply sounds bad. It’s interesting that the guitar in this video plays reasonably in tune and sounds surprisingly good for the price. But, as the reviewer states, it is very hard to play.
This thing seems dangerous. It's definitely made for nylon strings, I'm surprised the bridge didn't rip clean off. Maybe the giant pick is designed to use as a shield so you can protect your face when this happens.
Giggled at this one
Lol I put steel on mine had it for years and steel works good on it well for me at least it sounds so much better also
@@DeadmawAlex Actually it's built way heavier than an average Classical Guitar
I liked pick as pirate eye patch. Lol
Anyone on this thread know anything about smol guitars for a 5 year old??
Lol😢
I purchased a guitar just like this back in 2010 when I was 15 years old on eBay. I wanted to learn how to play guitar so bad I would play it every day after school. The strings were so high above the frets that I would suffer pressing down on chords when I was developing my calluses. A year later I purchased a better guitar for about $200, and thanks to the cheap guitar, playing my new guitar was so easy since I was use to pressing down hard as hell on the old cheap one. It really conditioned my fingers, and since I didn’t know any better I thought all guitars had strings high above the frets.

This was actually my first guitar, and I am forever grateful to it.
They say "never sell your first guitar". Well, that shouldn't be a problem with this one....
@@joejungbluth5941 which one did you got

A 40 dollar ukulele maybe, but never a 40 dollar guitar....
Video is a couple of years old now but the lesson on buying a decent guitar for someone learning is still an important one. Also a lesson I learned the hard way. My first guitar was a pawn shop find that was horrible. I was ready to just give up and decide I couldn't learn to play. Luckily for me, a long time friend and player reached out to me and said, "hey, before you give up find a better quality guitar and try." Another friend made me a deal on a Baby Martin and I've been moving forward ever since. Thanks for sharing an interesting video.
You're very welcome!
You should have ordered the $41 luxury model.
drie wiel ooh fancy
$41? Probably better than a Gibson, or a Martin, or a Taylor!!
'Brushy One string' wouldn't be complaining.
Ayyyyyyy man high 5
Or.... high1
Hahah! Quality! 👍
Hhahahahha
CHICKEN IN THE CORN
For those that like to take a cheap guitar and upgrade, this would be perfect learning project. Change the strings, reinforce the bridge, lower the action take care of the frets ect. Could make it into a decent starter guitar.
I would consider buying it just to fix it up with the right strings , lower the action etc. I am a violin luthier but play the guitar, ukulele too so have done work on various stringed instruments. Fun review at watch.
That would be a fun project!
There is no truss rod so almost impossible to adjust. This is a Kapok Guitar. You can order the guitar with steel or nylon strings. Lots of guys in Indonesia play these things. For years, as is. Not great. It is what it is.

Oh
That was actually my first guitar I bought back in high school. It definitely is nothing special, in fact the day I tossed it was one of the best days in my memory, but I'm forever grateful for ole blue
In my country. I dare say almost everyone who played a guitar has at least touched one of these if not buying it. The nostalgia is strong. I got mine when I was around 13. Saved up a long time for it. It actually accompany me for over 10 years. Though I did change it to nylon strings. The guitar body broke off and I nailed it back. Finally it snapped its neck and I had to say goodbye to it. It's lousy, but a dang classic.
You actually found the intended use for that large pick, it's to protect your eyes while you're tuning it
My parents got me this guitar and I was dying of laughter from the pick alone.
Is that guitar a good one at all? 😶😊
@@s.inna.17 no honestly, the strings are likely to break just tuning it.
mahon tulloch mine never broke and I used it for a year and a half before I bought a Yamaha
V. A .X hey I’m about to get one, is it good ?
@@fixyourkdkid308 it’s good and pretty loud but there was always the G string for me that was never actually in tune it said it was but it sounded flat and when I tuned the G string it made a weird noise like it was about to break but it never did
I had a guitar like that. I bought it at around 10/11 years old for £8 and 7 years later I decided to actually take it seriously and learn it.
The guitar always got out of tune and I always thought that it was my lack of skills. The nylon strings were killing my fingers. I could barely play longer than 10mins because it hurt so bad.
Today I sold it (I’m sorry to the person lmao but they looked at it and said they want it so I mean whatever - everyone has a different budget).
And today I also ordered my dream guitar. It cost £144. As an 18 year old that was pretty much all my savings and I’m so excited. I know it’s definitely not the best but it’s what I could afford and I’m so excited about it. I genuinely look at it like my dream guitar so wish me luck for when the delivery comes through ;)
Well, if you find it comfortable and good playing that means that is “the best” for you, there isn’t actually a “best guitar”,yes,there are guitar who are “better” then other in terms of playing and tune,but it’s all by the person who plays it, wish you good luck
Guitar Playing starts at 13:52 He noted that this should have nylon strings, even though it comes with steel strings, hence the extremely arched high action.
14:20 The guitar described in one second.
Why does it come with a comically large pick HAHAHAHAHAHA
Clearly, it's compensating for something.
beacause its like if you buy this guitar, a joke

I paid $30 for a similar guitar (nylon string a few years back), its in my car. Its been through hell, cracking holes in it.... But, I learned more on that guitar than my expensive dread. Also many times it saved me when we needed some music to go with some singing at church, yes its a terrible guitar, but was still the best $30 I ever spent! So for what it is, with nylon strings, its amazing.
Thank you so much for this review. You saved me 40 bucks and frustration management.
First time I ever heard someone mention finding guitar picks in the dryer. Even after checking all of my pockets, I have been finding them there for years. The dryer has become my go to place when I can’t find a pick. Too funny, and I have learned so much from watching your wonderful videos. One of my favorite TH-cam channels. Please keep up the great work. 🎸 ✌️ 🎶

Hey Chris. Greetings from the UK. This is a great, honest assessment and very insightful. I guess it's just a toy that looks like a guitar but not actually a precision instrument. I reckon so many people started out like this and thought it was their fault that the guitar wouldn't stay in tune. You and Copper always give such valuable advice. Keep up the great work.

Bravo , Carpenter's style intro :-) and accurate review as always. Cheers
To be honest that's my guitar rn.... Can't afford expensive one's dang
Same boat don’t feel ashamed, if I can play and learn on it so can you
Me toooo
My first guitar was 160 bucks, so four times this amount, but still not too expensive. I've been playing it intensively for 13 years and it still plays incredibly well. Not cheap doesn't have to mean expensive. My guitar teacher recommended anything between 100 and 200 for a first guitar and please don't let it be a Yamaha.
Just to be clear, I didn't mean any offense in this comment and I'm sorry if it comes across as such. I don't mean to sound entitled or anything.
Noëlle de R. It’s okay bud you’re fine, no need to apologize I understand what you’re saying, but why not a Yamaha? What’s wrong with that brand? And what brand do you suggest? I plan on getting a better real acoustic guitar
My first one was $300USD its the fender starcaster MAS-1
One of my fears, even after playing for over 5 years, is the strings breaking while tuning. I always hold my face away.
Lol yea, one of the first times I tuned my guitar one of the strings snapped and scratched my eyeball... I could literally see a scratch across it when I looked in the mirror! Scared the hell out of me... I actually wore safety glasses for a bit after that haha, but now I just wince and try to keep my face away from it while I tune it up!
Luckily I only got smacked across the back of the hand. Took about 4 seconds to start bleeding, lol.
I just broke my guitar string and there is a pretty big slice on my arm
Stop scaring me 😱😱
a friend asked if she should get this, so I came to youtube to find a review, and this was the exact one she was looking at. Thanks for the review!
great intro deserved a like also the video very informative
Much appreciated!
Randomly found one on the street, best deal ever
That guitar can actually be bought for much less than $40, It cost $40 because you bought it on Amazon

Haha! That moment you were tensing up tuning and made the comment how you were never so nervous tuning a guitar before gave me a good laugh, thank you! That totally made up for the very long drawn out one minute intro scene.
Wow that guitar sounds awesome! Can't wait to order one from Amazon! Thanks! The blue one sounds the best 💙.
When he was attempting to tune the thing, all I could see in my mind was the scene from "The Haunting" when that piano string broke and lacerated the young lady's face...

The fast forward part when he was tuning the Guitar started cracking me up. It sounds so funny.
Great review. Seeing you are from Texas I am surprised you hadn't seen a big pick like that yet. I thought everything was bigger in Texas. This is the best review on this guitar it might be nice on the wall looking at it from afar.

I almost had a guitar break on me, when my boss asked me to tune a cheap classical guitar he bought for his grand daughter.
The G string actually snapped off the neck (luckily didn't break). The entire time I tuned it, it was making quite aggressive cracking and squeaking sounds. I did get in it tune in the end, but it generally just didn't sound good.
You get what you pay for
The intro is the Best!😂 Congragulations 😌🤠
I almost fell off my chair when Chris stuck the giant pick under the bridge!!! 🤣🤣
10:32 I flinched at that crack too.
My dad bought me this and I'm still learning on this for about a year(still going)
It’s another year how are you doing?
Have you tossed it yet ?
Loved the video made me laugh, keep up the great work!
Thanks, will do!

Am I the only one also Afraid along with him when I heard the bridge creaking? I started making scared faces and people were looking at me weird
I was thinking of getting this exact model. Now I'm unsure of what to buy next. Great Review! really informative
Had the biggest laughs of the day, thanks for letting me know that I didn't do a mistake buying an expensive guitar.
I have this exact guitar. My mom got me this one for Christmas without the box, just the guitar in a big bag. Even though it was my first classical guitar, I knew something was off about it. I asked for another one and she said "that one you have is fine".
So yeah I'm gonna show her this video.
Edit: if you have any questions about the guitar feel free to ask, but a few things is that it seems poorly made, I have scraped off a section of one of the frets, making it useless, and it constantly needs tuning.
Salamander Would you recommend it to a beginner?
How'd your mom take it?
@@traceymallard no
@@traceymallard he said in the video that no one is gonna learn on it
@@traceymallard just check out a pawn shop or smth
The guitar was sent to you in Texas, they sent a Texas size pick. :-)
*The world needs to see this video*
During tune-up it did as I expected, repeatedly.
When you mentioned no bracing, and steel strings I was waiting for it to cave in. I'd love to see it a year later, (if it wasn't smashed 1st from in tune and intonation frustrations).
I spose you guys see it all the time, every day.
Looked up this vid after using this guitar for about 3 days. Just started and don’t know much. Thought I just sucked, which I’m sure I do, but I’m gonna send it back. Thanks for confirming my hypothesis.
I absolutely love that the gig bag says "guitar". Not enough instrument cases tell you what is inside!
OMG! This was my exact first guitar. Giant pick, blue coloring and all. I never used the pick but wore out the strings in like two weeks because I played it so much. A month or so after learning to play I bought a real guitar. It was mindblowing.
I’ve played this same guitar for five months now and I’m dying to get a good real guitar
Great video. We already own one but needed to confirm that it's firewood before burning it. Thanks!
The kit should come with safety goggles/glasses.. I saw panic! Thanks for the info and taking the risk. I got a real laugh. Thanks again.
I have a Stagg C440, 50€ with tuner and 'garbage bag' type of bag like that one, it is a classical accoustic guitar, came with nylon strings and an action high enough to put a 80 sheet notebook under it. To make it right I had to sand the bridge saddle down and it became a great guitar for learning how to play.
Later I got and installed a 10€ pre-amp with a piezo pickup and made a bridge saddle out of bone, making it work with an amp acceptably well.
Now.... If only my guitar skills were as good as my craftmanship ...
i would have liked to see how it works with proper nylon strings on it.
it's still plays like crap. My student came in with this guitar and I instantly changed his strings. But I was most dissapointed with the parents.
It's obviously not the intention of the video to show any redeeming qualities of the guitar, it's just to shit on something they don't sell themselves and advice you to go buy something over at Alamo Music Center, and advice you something a bit more expensive... "o god my fingers start hurting from the steel strings, i can't find my frets because they're not dotted, by the way i've been playing for years so trust me". Not saying the thing isn't shit, and that a beginner could use side dots, but the dude is clearly laying it on thick so you don't want to buy a $40 guitar.
@@1987jaffa but u rly rly shouldn't. Anyone can afford a more expensive instrument. Even a 200 dollar one is better smh 40 is a bunch of shit
Shivan Smyth I got a Denver folk for 110 Brand new and it sounds hearty and plays easily

Not everyone, not everyone is from the US. I am currently playing on a 80 bucks classical guitar and I'm satisfied. I had a 70 bucks electro acoustic for years and it was nothing but suffering. Sold it for half of the price I bought it and got the classical. Right now I'm 50 bucks sharp from my next rent. Not everyone can afford a 200 guitar, wish I could right now.
Thank you so much, yes I knew what I was getting into when I saw the price and brand of my guitar (note: looks exactly like the one in the video.) Two things I learned from this video is one, don’t get unknown cheap brands, two is don’t use steel strings on a classical guitar.
Great review man very informative
Glad you liked it
