I can see it. They often glue the bridge on top of the paint of these cheap guitars. It’s best to remove the finish before glueing a bridge on. This guitar has a couple of bolts that help hold the bridge on.
Oh, come on. That sounds like crap. Your standard seems to be “it plays notes,” and nothing beyond that. I won’t even bother commenting on the “cubic zirconium” preposterously tacky “rosette,” or the equally goober-like “trailer park tattoo” decorations. Even at $100, one could find better almost anywhere.
I’ve played worse. When you come across guitars with one inch action and frets that aren’t level as often as I do, “it plays notes” is a reasonable standard for a cheap guitar. You must assume that “it plays notes” is my standard for all instruments. I assure you not. What acoustic guitar with electronics do you recommend for $100?
@@Afterthoughtsmusicstudio As a guitar tech and recreational player, I simply don't and advise people looking to get into guitar to save another $100 and get a Yamaha or an Orangewood and the reason I do this is because I've seen so many people over the years kids and adults turn their back on learning the guitar after a few weeks of trying to make untrained fingers create pleasing noise out of pretty much all of the sub $100 junk. The quality and playability difference for just another $100 to get a Yamaha FG800 or Orangewood dread vs poorly setup cheap junk like the Esteban can be the difference of someone staying motivated to continue to learn vs throwing in the towel early.
@@Afterthoughtsmusicstudio None. I think it is a disservice to the public to offer “blingy crap” as a musical instrument, in what can only be described as a scam. “Estaban” was a huckster scamming the public.
I heard that they are great campfire guitars, other than the toxic fumes 🔥
I bought one of these several years ago. The bridge started lifting up off the body. Had to be glued back in place...

@@Afterthoughtsmusicstudio Good idea, may try it.
The action is 2 \ 16 ? ....not 1/8 ...LOL..
Estejunk
Those damn guitars sold for 3 payments of $33 when they were new you want 150 for that 1 good luck !
POS! Tried my sister-in-laws Esteban. Unplayable. A setup would need a setup. No where nearly playable out of the box.
Don’t waste your money!!
Gaudy junk
@@SquirrelDarling1 not exactly my style either.
Absolute junk
I’ve played worse. This guitar actually functioned.
You may as well took all your parts threw them in a box and then threw them in a fire you just wasted them on that crappy pos....

Next time I’ll throw the guitar away. Thanks for the advice!

@@Afterthoughtsmusicstudio Probably not a bad idea. Or donate it somewhere.
