Acoustic Guitar Silent Nylon 6 String Travel Electronic Classical Portable Built in Effects Steel Guitars Case Bag, Strap, Strings, Tuner (Brown-GD)

Let me begin by saying that I love this guitar. I got the steel string version and it was exactly what I've been looking for, but it wasn't so great right out of the box.First off, I threw out the clip on tuner and put all the cables into my "backup cable" box. I kept the spare string set just so I could have a set in case of a huge emergency. Out of the box, the action was way too high, the neck was slightly bowed, and the frets were sharp. In order to get the guitar into a playable condition I had to file down the fret ends, sand down the nut and bridge, adjust the neck tension, and I replaced the string trees with roller ones. It only took about 30 minutes to do (including the string change), but if it's your first time sanding down a bridge for an acoustic, you may want to take your time.Now it's set up like an electric and it plays awesome. I still need to replace the tuners though, because these are not good at all. I love that it has a battery box on the back so I don't have to open it to replace the batteries.Plugged in, it sounds okay. I did notice it was a bit treble-y and has a lack of bottom end, but I was able to get it to sound great when I plugged it into my GP-200 and created a patch specific for it. It even sounds great with some distortion on it.I dig the headstock shape, one of my favorite "not-fender" shapes.All in all it's a great guitar and I'm going to be using it a lot, but if you've never done a set-up and/or don't feel comfortable doing one, you will have to pay to get it to play the best it possibly can.

The unit I received was good, with no defects. This guitar comes from a Chinese company named Bullfighter that produces good quality guitars and other musical accessories according to them, they are partnered with Minsine and Alice products amongst a few others (you can find more info about them on Alibaba). This guitar (Brown-GD) is an old model, their new model is Bullfighter AC-SKY. Now on to the review.To start with, I only have had this guitar for a couple of days, upon receiving the package it came in a Minsine box, and inside it came with a guitar gig bag with the guitar inside, and all the accessories came loose inside the box, which includes a crappy tuner (came with no battery), two guitar cables, an extra pack of Alice brand classical guitar strings (I do not say the tension of the strings) and an Hex/ Allen wrench to adjust the truss rod.When I took the guitar out of the gig back there was a bit of tension on the strings which is bad if you are shipping a guitar. My model came with a different bridge (It is the acoustic version, brown-MY) which I prefer since the majority of the others have reported that their bridge came off. The string action was pretty high for my standards It came with 4mm action at the 12 frets for both Low and High E string, and the nut action was 0.5 mm was is perfect for classical guitars. I would say that the tuning machines are pretty flimsy, once tuned to standard some of them feel like they can break. My guitar required a 9V battery (other reviewers said their version requires two-button (2032) batteries) which you will need to get separately, but once you do get one and plug the guitar in it works, and the volume knob works as well as the tone knob, but when it is connected the bass side of the guitar sound much louder than the treble side there, is no balance in the Piezo.I changed my strings to Martin classical M160 Hard Tension nylon strings as recommended by one of the reviewers, and they sound great with the hard tension I was able to lower my guitar action at the 12 fret to 1.6 mm high E and 2.0 ish mm by sanding the saddle down, and no buzzing at all and I kept the guitar neck straight by adjusting the truss rod and keeping it in a back bow tension while keeping the neck straight. I will highly recommend that people polish the frets as they are pretty rough and noticeable when doing vibrato or sliding.All in all, it is a good guitar, I would want to say I recommend it but I got lucky I got a good unit, so if you wanna gamble go for it if you get a good unit you will not be disappointed.UPDATE- I was too quick to give this product a good review, the Piezo/pick-up stopped working and when I contacted their customer support, I kid you not, they told me with a small hammer hit the strings on the NUT, the issue is with the saddle piezo and they have not responded anymore seriously WTF. Also, I did not think I mentioned this but the intonation on this guitar is atrociously bad while trying to make a custom saddle to try to make it in tune, everything is flat and out of tune, and if you are playing along with a recording you will most definitely notice it. And lastly, the volume knob does not work well anymore, it makes a lot of notice I tried cleaning it to make sure there is no dust or debris and it made it a bit better but still creates a lot of feedback and distortion. If you are willing to put in more money to fix these issues by all means go for it but as of now I would NOT recommend this guitar

A few months ago, a certain video popped up in my YT feed. It was the Tim Henson/Ibanez TOD10N promo. I've never heard of this guitarist before, I had heard the name Polyphia at some point, but only the name. Anyway, the guitar in question immediately piqued my interest. I learned guitar on a classical and I still love the sound and feel of nylon strings. I have too many guitars as it is, but over the course of following months, I kept checking on the price of Henson's TOD10N and the less expensive Ibanez non-signature models. I just couldn't, responsibly, pull the trigger. Then a few weeks ago, stumbled upon this guitar, the Brown-GD. It took a lot of willpower not to just Buy Now right there. I waited a couple of days , researched a bit, and then checked in on it again- of course, out of stock. I thought it had disappeared completely as I couldn't even access its page. It only showed the steel-string variant (Brown-MY). Well imaging my surprise when it popped back up in stock. I immediately bought it and awaited arrival. As of this review- it's out of stock again.Now onto the review. Please note, I am not a great or even good guitarist.On the surface, it's pretty nice what you get in the box for the price:The guitarInstrument cable (I got 3 actually)Tuner (not great)Hex key (got 2)Extra set of nylon stringsCloth/canvas guitar strapDecent gig bagOverall, the guitar itself is really nice for the price. There is some discoloration around the bridge- maybe leftover discoloration from glue or something. Not sure. There are some cons to be aware of- well cons to me:My guitar has the steel string style bridge. Which I was kinda bummed about. I like the classical style bridge. So that gave me pause as to wether I was going to keep it or now.The action was really high. The neck was really straight so I decided to shim the neck- in the most budget way possible: I cut out the rough shape from cardboard and then peeled it apart, keeping a piece that is pretty much as thick as card stock. It's only about an inch long, butted up against the end of the neck pocket. In effect, it lifts the head stock angle- lowering the action. Well, it worked pretty well- surprisingly so. It plays much better now, no buzzing as of writing this.So, I would probably warn future owners that is may be necessary to do a little surgery. It can be intimidating, but there are several videos out there that can walk you through installing a shim.The piezo pre-amp takes 2 2032 lithium button batteries. So replacing the batteries isn't going to be as convenient as using a 9v. The battery pack is located inside the electronics panel. Also not super convenient to access. You will need a screwdriver.Now the good:Frets are great, no fret sprout, no sharp edges. Not perfect, but acceptableThe piezo pre-amp is impressive. Very happy with the tones. I'm using a Katana Mk2 50w. The acoustic setting delivers a nice sound. Of course, I put it on the higher gains settings and the overdriven/distorted tones are interesting as well.The only guitar I own where I actually use the tone knob. lol.Guitar feels solid. Plays well, no buzzing or electronic noise.Overall, best guitar purchase I have made in a while. I can't wait to play it when I get home from work. That's a pretty good sign for me that I made good choice. lol.
