LyxPro Left Hand 39 Inch Electric Guitar and Starter Kit for Lefty Full Size Beginner’s Guitar, Amp, Six Strings, Two Picks, Shoulder Strap, Digital Clip On Tuner, Cable and Soft Case - Natural

I usually don't review inexpensive beginner guitars. I stumbled upon this Lyx Pro guitar on Amazon listed as 'used, very good condition', for just $75. I believe the normal price range is something like $110. And therein lies the problem.As with other cheap beginner guitars I've handled, I didn't expect much from the Lyx Pro. To say I was surprised is an understatement. The strap is cheap and feels like it will break at any time. The strings, including the extra set, are junk. The clip-on tuner is a very nice touch, especially for a beginner, and works fine. The cable, unlike others provided with starter guitars, is of nice quality and is a keeper, if for nothing else than a backup.As for the guitar itself, I've been playing it since its arrival and have had a hard time putting it down. The mahogany finish is perfect and stunning, the neck straight and smooth, the tuners are typically low quality and hold tune ok, not great, the controls work perfectly and are also nice and smooth, and the pickups sound great. Not perfect, but leaps and bounds beyond what is to be expected.Here is where I run into a conundrum. The guitar was already set up (again something not expected in this price range) the action low and comfortable and the intonation dead on. I couldn't have set this guitar up better myself. So... do all Lyx Pro guitars come this way? Remember, I purchased this particular guitar used, in 'very good' condition. That means it was in the hands of another. Did the previous buyer do the setup and adjustments? And if so, why then did they decide to return it?I guess the final take is this: IF (and that's a big IF) all Lyx Pro guitars come this way then they are an incredible bargain. If someone else did the adjustments and setup, I'd say this is still a nice guitar for a student or intermediate wishing to get into electric guitars... after it has been properly set up. At this point, I am considering purchasing a new Lyx Pro just to satisfy my own questions and curiosity. In any event, compared to the other bargain guitars I have handled and the reviews they are given, I'd say the Lyx Pro is worth a try.My recommendations: New quality strings, replace the tuners, and have a good setup done if needed,Please Note: As of this writing, I have not tested the enclosed small practice amp. When I do, and if anything changes with the guitar I will update.

This is a great beginner's guitar. For the price, you get what you get. However, you can easily upgrade later! Simply put, this is a guitar with the understanding that it is for beginners.The Amp - The amp is a friendly practice amp. You turn it on, and sounds come out. You can toggle with the bass, treble, and drive. For a beginner guitarist, that is fine! Of course, I plugged the guitar into a much professional amp, and the guitar sounded great!The Cable - Plugs, no crackling or pops while playing. What is there to complain about?The Neckstrap - The neck strap holds the guitar and prevents the guitar from falling when you are playing. The strap quality is, of course, cheap, but it 100% does what it is made to do. Though I would recommend getting some soft safety locks.The Tuner - The turner comes in three settings. It stays true to guitar tuning, and I've never had a problem with it. Just make sure that you hold down the button to turn it off; otherwise, you will change it to a new setting, and then next time you tune your guitar, you will get confused! (For beginners). If you do, click the button until you get to the standard tuning mode.The Whammy Bar - Cheap whammy bar but does what any quality whammy bar would do!The Guitar - The guitar is VERY lightweight. Out of the box, it needs to be tuned. I played it as is, and it sounded great for what it was. I did adjust the pickups, but the neck well pretty well adjusted. The feel of the guitar does feel the lower quality from a more expensive guitar (but in my opinion, it's what the guitar sounds like that is important). The frets, neck, and bridge were fine as they were, and I enjoyed playing this beginner's guitar!VERDICT - I got this guitar as a beat-up and travel guitar. I also got it to practice my modding skills (I rather practice on a cheap guitar rather than an expensive one!).For a beginner, this is an excellent guitar! When playing it, I played it for long periods and did not want to put it down! I've been playing for quite a while, so knowing this, this is a good guitar to start your musical journey! Save your money to get your dream guitar sooner!!For an experienced guitarist, this is an excellent beat-up guitar or to practice any modding. It's a fun guitar to play as long as you know exactly what you are getting. If you have high standards, then, of course, this is not going to be for you. But even for a low-quality guitar, it's still much fun to play and fool around with.KEEP THIS IN MIND - Sometimes, these cheap guitars do have flaws. I got a great model of this guitar, but I have experience getting these affordable models and have found flaws. I would then ask for a new one (same model) and then find the next would be flawless. That's why it's more practical to go into a store and see the exact one you are getting. In any case, don't get discouraged and ask for a new one.

Having never picked up a guitar in my life before, I don't have much basis for comparison, but it looks fantastic, it feels good, it holds its tune well enough. The amp... leaves much to be desired, but it will absolutely work while you're trying to figure out the basics as long as you set it for a clean tone. The bag works well enough. The strap kind of feels like a plastic bag, but the tuner is great.Definitely a good value overall.I did plug it into a friend's amp and it was absolutely night and day, confirming the guitar itself is good!

Great gift for my little sister she was overjoyed, played good great build quality
