Mad About MA-CG05 Klassieke gitaar, 1/4 size rode klassieke gitaar - kleurrijke Spaanse gitaar met draagtas, riem, pick en reserve snaren

The one I received is a lovely red wine/maroon colour. There are a few minor blemishes & a couple of paint runs but for only £28 it would be churlish to complain. The other colours are over £40 so I think I got a good deal. There are spare strings & the bag is a light canvas rather than the usual cheap nylon. The strings take a lot of stretching in but if you persevere they Will eventually settle down. This 1/4 size guitar is just shy of 31 inches long & feels pretty light but well made for the price. It’s hard to tell what the fretboard is made of because the of amount of lacquer which coats the edges but the slightly rough feel on the edge of the soundhole suggests it is a so-called ‘engineered’ wood composite. It is also hard to tell if the frets are metal or not but they work Ok & there are no high spots. The action is high as is the case with most low cost stringed instruments but it isn’t bad enough to prevent you playing - it is 5 mm. at the 12 th. fret on mine. It could be lowered when restringing but I doubt if you’d get it much below 4 mm. with this type of bridge. I got it as a travel guitar after looking at a lot of overpriced guitaleles. The scale length is 50cms./19.8 inches approx. & the intonation is fine on my example. The neck is a bit slender at the nut but not much narrower than on an electric guitar but it will feel a bit cramped if you’ve got fat fingers. Inside the box there was a card inviting me to go online to extend the warranty. I find it interesting that this card comes from the Tiger guitar supplier. Now, their logo is carried by several companies selling similar guitars to this one at much higher prices so perhaps these cheaper ones are being sold to clear any that don’t quite pass QC. Who knows - all I can say is that I got a bargain & I’d buy it again - just don’t expect Yamaha/Fender quality at this low price; if you’re fussy suck it up & spend more. Recommended.

It is playable, the case has good straps including the back-pack type, and it sounds ok. After the initial stretching strings (as expected with new nylon strings) it stays in tune, and the sound it ok. The only shortcoming is that it has no dots on the fingerboard, so I added some using white nail varnish to the third, fifth and twelfth fret positions.

Bought for my grandson's birthday so have not given it to him yet, but it looks perfect. Just the right size for a 5 year old. Lovely colour and a miniature of the real thing not like a plasticy toy. I think he will love it.

Perfect 1st guitar. Will settle ìnto tune. My niece loves it!
