Martin Smith Full-Size Acoustic Guitar Kit with Stand, Tuner, Bag, Strap, Picks & Lessons

It's a jolly little piece. A real pleasure to play.

You maybe asking your self is this martin smith acoustic guitar worth the price we'll yes it is I bought this simply to learn and then move onto a electoral guitar 🎸 Well for the price this guitar is fantastic the packaging is not the best but you wouldn't expect the best packaging for the price this guitar sounds great and is well built no marks or anything bent or out of shape if your looking for a fantastic beginner guitar well you found it never judge something by the pics or the price point because its always going to a hit and miss this would be perfect for someone looking for a decent guitar that comes with everything you basically need on a low budget that's my thoughts about this guitar anyways hope you feel the same way I did when I got mine thank you

My son loves it, he uses it for his guitar lessons at college hence the coloured stickers on the frets which his teacher gave him. The guitar balances on the stand with no problems, and he loves the case which he can just sling over his shoulder while hes walking up to college you can also carry it in your hand, this is the second case he has had though, the first one what came with the guitar the straps broke within a couple of weeks, but after getting in touch with Amazon customer services they sent a partial refund to cover the cost of another case which he then bought. The capo was not included which you can see in the photo , he had to buy this himself. The sound is great, he has had to buy some more strings as the ones on it seemed to be breaking quite easily, not sure if it was just him as he has never had a guitar before so wasn't sure what he was doing to start with or the string were just weak. All in all it seems like a very good guitar for the price.

I bought this guitar for my son and was mazed at the quality. It looks great, sounds great and my son has not stopped playing it. It came with everything you need for a beginner. Excellent quality and great value for money. Would definitely recommend

I got this guitar as I’ve been wanting to start playing for a while now and it’s safe to say this guitar kit has to be the best purchase I have made in a while. It’s easy to use and even comes with a free trial on music lessons with simply guitar and online tutoring. It looks amazing and has a great sound to it.

Made in China it says on the box, which these days means you can't be sure of the quality - it could be great or it could be poor. For me, this guitar package is somewhere in the middle. The stand, strap and tuner are poor. The stand doesn't reliably support the guitar - it's a poor design - especially when you attach a strap to the guitar. The supplied strap is complete rubbish - bin it and get a better one. The tuner is OK, but the one I have won't let me check the guitar intonation - I have other clip-on tuners that do allow me to pluck the strings at the 12th fret to see how far out things are. The guitar itself is a mixed bag. It feels solid enough, but it doesn't sound that great with the pre-fitted strings. It lacks timbre. I changed the strings to a set of Adagio Phosphor Bronze 12's and I think it sounds a bit better, but not massively better. It still sounds a bit thin to me. Laminated topboard, I guess. The frets are reasonably well fitted and finished. The string action is OK, though I do get a bit of buzzing sometimes. The intonation is out a bit - I expected that and I guess it's not too bad - but I've not been able to fix it (though I'm no luthier.) The tuning pegs are OK. I'm not sure whether the truss rod does much when you adjust it. There is a small cosmetic imperfection on the topboard - a smudge of the black paint from the side found it's way onto the pine-coloured topboard prior to the veneer finish going on. It's noticable and somewhat spoils the look of the guitar. The factory that made the guitar needs better quality control. If the guitar had my name on it, I wouldn't be happy with it shipping with this type of cosmetic fault on the topboard. It's sloppy and it doesn't make me think positively about the brand. Overall I suppose it's OK, given the price.

I bought this guitar in 2018 where it very quickly became an ecosystem for dust in my spare room. I played it on and off for a year learning the simple cowboy chords (A, Am, C, G etc). In October 2019 I went to the guitar shop and got some new strings and have consistently played it everyday for at least 30 minutes since and as a result I have really been able to bring out the best of this cheap guitar. As I was learning I was concerned with the quality finding that when playing some chords they were sounding a bit sitar like. but the more I played the more I realised it was down to me being a beginner. I would recommend taking it to your local music shop and asking them about some new strings just so you know exactly what your getting. Now i'm looking for my next guitar which I will purchase in the next 6 months, I can definately hear the differenc when watching youtube videos or playing more expensive guitars in the shop. For example its easy to hear the warmth of a Gibson or Seagull (what i'm considering) but as far as learning the guitar I would highly recommend this guitar.

Guitare reçu avec des coups

Sono musicista polistrumentista e produttore di musica da oltre 25 anni. Possiedo molti strumenti musicali perché non amo i virtual instruments e per le mie produzioni (pop, rock, jazz, elettronica, colonne sonore) preferisco di gran lunga suonare e campionare lavorando con strumenti reali. Tra gli altri ho anche molte chitarre elettriche e classiche ma non acustiche. Così per arricchire la mia tavolozza timbrica in studio mi sono messo alla ricerca di una chitarra acustica economica da poter sfruttare per qualche nuova produzione ma anche da portare in giro per qualche scampagnata con amici musici. Non volevo spendere troppo ma neanche portarmi a casa uno strumento insuonabile. Dopo varie ricerche e letture di recensioni sono stato attirato dai feedback positivi su questa chitarra Martin Smith. Appena arrivata l'ho liberata dal suo scarno imballo di cartone e subito è partita l'ispezione. Fortunatamente non c'erano danni, le premesse erano buone ma una volta accordato lo strumento e regolato il trussrod è emersa subito una certa difficoltà nel suonarla. Action troppo alta e tasti non proprio a livello, soprattutto da metà manico in poi. Armato di pazienza e di olio di gomito, ho smontato le corde, allentato il trussroad, rettificato e ricoronato i tasti con apposite lime. Altra nota dolente il ponte, un pezzo di plastica troppo fragile e alto, davvero di scarsa qualità, già scavato dalle corde alla prima accordatura. Subito lanciato nella raccolta differenziata della plastica e sostituito con un ponte in vero osso bovino, limato il giusto per avere un'action comoda per barre' e fraseggi. Rimontato le corde in dotazione (davvero non male come qualità) e accordata nuovamente, con una stretta al trussrod per inarcare appena il manico, finalmente risolti tutti i problemi delle note sorde e delle corde che frustavano, action perfetta (al 12ºtasto 2,5mm sul Mi basso e 2mm sul Mi cantino). E con grande stupore la chitarra a iniziato a cantare! Certo ripeto non è una chitarra di gran qualità, però con questi minimi interventi ora suona discretamente bene. Non pago però della sola sua resa acustica, ho provato ad elettrificarla. Non ho mai amato il suono dei pick-up piezoelettrici sotto il ponte, essendo una appassionato di chitarre elettriche mi piacciono i suoni dei pick-up magnetici e avendone diversi in giro per casa ne ho installato uno proprio dentro la buca della Martin Smith. È un humbucker bello spinto, l'ho fissato con un semplice nastro biadesivo sopra la parte dei poli fissi. Quelli regolabili in altezza sbucano invece appena sopra la tavola armonica. Un piccolo foro sulla fascia, due saldature per il jack e per il filo per mettere a massa le corde e il gioco è fatto: la Martin Smith è diventata un'ottima chitarra acustica elettrificata, potete sentire con le vostre orecchie nel breve video dove è in azione collegata ad una testata valvolare Vox ac15 e un cabinet Marshall 2x12 con coni Celestion vintage30. In sintesi se siete un po' pratici di liuteria fai-da-te e avete voglia di sperimentare con una chitarra acustica non posso che raccomandare questa, dall'ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo. Se invece siete dei principianti e questa è la prima chitarra, magari forse è meglio orientarsi verso qualcosa di già pronto all'uso senza bisogno di interventi di miglioria. In ogni caso buona musica a tutti!

pour un petit fils qui veux apprendre

Je m'attendais pas à avoir une si belle guitare avec ce prix bas. Effectivement c'est pour débutant et c'est très bien pour débuter. Je ne suis vraiment pas déçu de cet instrument. Je recommande fortement pour ceux qui veulent découvrir ou même débuter la guitare.
