Stretton Payne Dreadnought D4 Full Sized Steel String Acoustic Guitar with a Solid Cedar Top

Ok at first I was a teensy bit apprehensive on buying another acoustic guitar from Amazon as the last one I bought needed some surgery to make even remotely playable (action, stuff needed filing, re gluing etc).I thought this time I’ll do my research, see what’s about for a decent price, cross check reviews. I’m so glad I did as this stretton Payne is an absolute dream to play!Full disclosure I have been a bass player for over 25 years but decided to buy my first 6 string back in January so I haven’t been playing guitar all that long but straight out of the box and a little bit of tuning this guitar is excellent, nothing like the last one I bought.From what I’ve been able to find out this brand has a great reputation, I’m not sure about electric guitars as I haven’t looked for them but certainly the acoustic dreadnaught style lives up to its high praises IMO.This guitar isn’t actually for me, my stepson has been asking for one for years now so I thought best get him a decent one rather than the finger bleeder I bought some months earlier. I’m now totally jealous and am ALMOST hoping he decides he doesn’t like it so I can tap it off him 🤣 I did say ALMOST, I think it’s going to be a lot of fun showing him the fruits of just 3.5 months of learning can do for him and how satisfying it is to play chords. I’m nothing special on guitar but once you’ve got the hang of the basics and you master power chords it’s like the whole world opens up to you, I’m hoping he finds it as satisfying and fun as I have and I strongly believe that this is the guitar to master those basics with a level of ease you seldom get from cheaper alternatives.As a little bonus you get some accessories, I’m not a massive fan of these tuners that you can’t plug into but they do the job albeit can get a bit wandery on the tuning but considering you get it with a £100 guitar along with a strap, couple of plectrums and a gig bag I can’t really complain. Granted, the gig bag is a tight fit and it’s not really padded, I’d say it’s more of a dust protector than anything else but again, it’s a package for £100 and still extremely good value. Oh and you get a set of spare strings too, I don’t know much about acoustic strings as I ended up swapping my acoustic for an electric fender bullet mustang after about a week of trying to play on that nightmare finger bleeder and I never looked back since. I’d say Ernie balls are the best but I’ve never tried the acoustic strings... if they’re anything like the electric ones they’ll be a winner.Fantastic guitar, I highly recommend it!

I bought the guitar for my brother, and so far (after 2 days) we have been really pleased with it. It arrived after 2 days from Rock Star Academy, and is been just as described. I am no expert guitarist but I have played a little for the last couple of years. It arrived in perfect condition (it was well packaged), had all the extras with it (no spare strings, but I don't think they were advertised), and it plays well and sounds nice. It doesn't seem to have a particularly 'high action', it seems to be better than my guitar (but of course you'd get a lower action if you paid more and bought a higher quality make). It wasn't quite in tune when it arrived, but it seemed like it had been tuned and had lost it in the journey! But it was very easy to make the small adjustments with the tuner that came with it. All in all, very pleased so far.

I'm 44 years old and always wanted to play guitar,I've never tried before,so I decided to take the plunge and go for this one as I didn't want to spend a lot,I've never played a chord in my life and I thought there was something wrong with the guitar as I couldn't get anything that even sounded like a simple chord out of it without muting the strings,turns out that this was my fault and not the guitars,as my finger placement was terrible,also when you start playing you have to go through a certain amount of the fingers being sore to form calluses on your fingertips which help with not spreading the fingertips so much,the guitar has a lovely tone to it,and looks really nice,I've never tuned a guitar before but with the supplied tuner it took minutes to tune it,if anyone has any doubts of the sound of the guitar you can see this actual guitar on YouTube being played and it sounds really good,I'm learning very very slowly but not giving up,and for a beginner this will do the job just fine ,

after looking at different guitars I opted for this one for the ease of playing and for a beginner the free online lessons . . the guitar arrived the following day . well packaged spare strings .tuner strap and plectrum. QR code to set up and tune up and good to go . but for some reason the rockstar academy website is ridiculous to navigate and to find the lessons even harder..why on earth there isnt a app ? got this to help de-stress all it's done is get me more frustrated. emailed with no reply . in the end gave up and just watched youtube videos . so basically a good sounding guitar .and looks great too but if your wanting the lessons maybe find another deal .

Good quality for the money, ideal for beginners

I received my guitar day after ordering. There was a fault with one of the tuning pegs, the company dispatched a new peg and gave me a set of strings and a few pics for my troubles which I am grateful for. The over all build quality of the guitar is really good. It was easy to tune, the guitar has a beautiful rich sound and comes with six months of online lessons. The guitar star and bag are not really good quality but over all the complete package is well worth the money and I am very happy with my purchase.

I ordered the Accoustic D1, to get into playing, quick delivery looked at reviews and I can honestly say I have had no trouble with the tuning pegs, yes you have to tune it once you have it delivered, I let it get used to the temp in the room overnight, the tuner supplied I wasn’t happy with as it didn’t tune as per the one I used to use, mines a pro model, so I’ve stuck with that, first impression the frets seem as though they needed filing down feels sharp edges but after a while don’t notice, and after a bit of use it is staying in tune, so very happy cutomer

I got this for a present for my partner and he loved it , great value for money
