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

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

Its the kinda guitar you play around the campfire, and then toss in.

Watched this video with my wife. She said "look, it comes with it's own trash bag" when you pulled the gig bag out

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.... 😑

“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.

That picks not actually big, he’s just very small

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”

Say a prayer for all of the kids about to get this on Christmas morning.

The look in his eyes when the bridge started cracking. Sheer terror.

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.

This is the first time I ever watched someone tune up a guitar thinking they should probably be wearing safety goggles.

[rembee]

i just got this for christmas and i treat it like my baby

[dkmarlo]

This was actually my first guitar, and I am forever grateful to it.

[TranceSFX]

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.

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.

Buying a $40 used guitar ... might be a better option

[driewiel]

You should have ordered the $41 luxury model.

[moose_sauce]

Me: buys 50$ guitar used online

Also me: *nervous sweating*
