LyxPro Electric Guitar Kit Bundle With Amplifier

I read reviews, some positive, some negative, I am very happy with my purchase. The accessories are cheap and crappy no doubt… but, the guitar is pretty good quality. The digital tuner works great, amp is fine to get started, as are the cables etc. Strap is awful, case blows and the strings suck, but come on!! It’s a $200.00 guitar kit! Get over it! $200? I spend more on beer and wings on a Tuesday. I ordered the guitar kit and some Ernie Ball strings as well as the Amazon Basics guitar strap. It holds a tune well, and if I stick with it, I can get better components as I go.
If you’re looking for a high end guitar, this isn’t it, but if you’re looking to get started and see if electric guitar is for you? Can’t really go wrong. I signed up for Justin Guitar online lessons and there’s no looking back.
Merry Christmas!

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.

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!

I got the LyxPro Left Hand 39 Inch Electric Guitar Starter Kit for my son, and it’s been perfect for him as a beginner! The guitar is of great quality, and the red color looks awesome. The kit includes everything he needs to get started – amp, strings, picks, shoulder strap, tuner, and a soft case for easy storage. It’s all set up for left-handed players, which is exactly what he needed. He’s enjoying it, and it’s been a great introduction to learning guitar. Highly recommend it for any lefty beginners!

So… is the Lyx worth it? For me, that would be a yes.
Honestly I wasn’t sure what to expect with this low end guitar. For the price I figured it was worth a look. Have to say I’m not disappointed. The neck has NOT warped, the paint has NOT chiped and nothing has fallen off or broke. Hell, even the cheap strings are staying in tune. Yes there is a little buzz but that can fixed with replacing the cheap pickups later on. My only issue is with the metal fret bars, as the ends were not properly deburred. Takes a little skin every once in awhile. After 6 months and just over 70 hours of play time this unit has held up really well though. If you are just starting out and not looking to spend a load of money, this guitar is ideal. My first guitar was a $600 Hondo II from the late ’70’s and sad to say it had more issues.
