Vangoa Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar 41 Inch Set

This is a great starter kit for a beginner or someone who just wants to see if they want to learn. The box was ok, but no damage at all. The guitar looks great, not high end but so much better than the school band models. It comes with a carry bag, picks, a tuner and more. My daughter like the fact that it is smaller than a full sized guitar as she is younger and does not have the arm length yet. Once in tune, which was a process, it sounds well. Its not Tinny or hollow sounding. For the money I am incredibly happy and now I think my daughter will be taking lessons.

The unopened box was unimpressive, not gonna lie, but that is not the company’s fault. I guess it didn’t look big enough to fit a full size guitar, so for a second I thought that I had gotten scammed, not to mention how terrible Amazon delayed the package multiple times. (Again, not Vangoa’s fault) One look at this guitar fresh from the package and I fell almost fully in love. Almost. Everything is absolutely gorgeous, but if you’re looking for a heavy-duty heirloom hardwood guitar you should plan on spending somewhere above at least $350 I’d say. This one has an interesting wrapping around the wooden frame, like a sort of paper-wood vinyl, not paint or gloss. The rosette is flat when you rub your fingers across it, a party of the “wrapping”, so there’s no switching it out unless you lay a sticker on top. But not that I’d want to anyways. I also found the tuning pegs to be a little bit weak, and this made it somewhat difficult to tune the thinner strings. I even popped one because I could not easily determine how tight I had wound it since it kept “slipping”. Overall, I think that I got my money’s worth, and it is a beautiful and decently crafted instrument. It plays pretty much as well as my cousin’s $500 guitar, and I have no regrets in purchasing it. It comes with a tuner, but I find that it seems to glitch somewhat after a while. It also has four picks, a tiny strong capo, a large cleaning cloth, a strap, and a pack of strings. Each one of those things I have needed and am very glad they were included! I think this guitar is very unique and beautifully colored (I went with green), and the green is not forest green, but more of a dark teal. I like to refer to it as my “project” guitar, so I’ll be changing and adding a lot more to turn it into a stunning piece of work. Excellent job, Vangoa, you survived my honest opinion! :))

I ordered this guitar not to play it but to have autographed by some popular artist I have play at my venue I received this guitar very fast no issues took it out and to my venue and the artist I had at my venue tuned it autographed it for me said it’s a great guitar so I highly recommend buying this guitar…

Pros
– Truss Rod; I’ve seen budget guitars without this. I come from a dry climate and as such have had to adjust my guitars. It’s a deal breaker if you need one and don’t have it. Just be careful. It can take days for neck to settle even after minor adjustments
– Fretwork was good. Didn’t notice any sharp edges. I wouldn’t say it was buttery smooth but great for the price range.
– I didn’t notice issues with the binding or scratches in the wood.
– Tuners were decent. Didn’t have any issues
– Tons of accessories including a case. None of them are so great or so poor that I’d call them individually. Other than the strings they are pretty close to what I’m already using.
– It sounded great and I found it really playable. This is the most important factor. No budget kit is worth it if the guitar isn’t good.

Cons
– I’ll switch the strings, but if you are starting out you won’t be picky enough to care

It’s a great time to play guitar. Lots of great instruments at a fraction of the price they once were. And this is one of the better price friendly guitars I’ve tried.

This guitar is about 2/3rds or 3/4ths the size of a regular one, but as a beginner’s guitar it’s great, even for adults!

The sound quality is great one you figure out how to tune the strings, and it comes in its own lightweight carrying bag.

Like I said, it makes for a great gift!
