Fojill Electric Classical Guitar Classic Nylon String Travel Portable Silent Practice Guitars Mahogany Body Neck Rosewood Fretboard With Gig Bag

The fit and finish on this is what is expect for a $300 guitar from china. Passable, but not great by any stretch. The frets are poorly finished, fretboard is open grain, and fret ends are rough, and the action on the treble strings is way too high.I could learn to live with, or fix, those issues easily. The neck is generally nice, shaped well and the truss rod works.The one issue here that ultimately made me return the guitar - the sound through the headphones. If I’m buying a wide neck silent classical guitar, I’m probably going to use it to play classical music, not metal or blues. The output to headphones or amp is pure strat in sound. Distorted, high gain. That is something that can’t be fixed, so I ultimately had to box it up and return. Sad really.

I was pleased that it arrived in perfect shape and played beautifully! I only gave it 4 of the 5 stars because the padded fojill gig bag did not arrive with the guitar like the 2 other Fojills I had purchased previously! The guitar arrived in perfect condition but was missing its padded gigbag, which made me have to call Amazon to complain! Still Love the guitar though, all three with different finishes that I have purchased

This is a great little instrument for someone wanting or needing a "classical nylon string neck-width" guitar. In my case, I've developed arthritis problems in my hands along with having large hands which makes it almost impossible to fret cleanly. To remedy this, I am switching over to instruments with wider string spacing. Even though I did give 5 stars for "value for the money", the guitar I received did require work. There were some high frets which had to be leveled and re-crowned plus fret ends trimmed and dressed. Wasn't a deal breaker for me because I'm able to do the repairs myself. Here are a few specs that were not included by the seller. Total length including strap button is 38 11/16". Lower bout width = 13". Waist = 7 3/8". Upper bout = 9". Body length = 16 1/4". Neck thickness at 1st fret = 3/4" and 7/8" at 12th fret giving a shallow "C" shape. Tuning machines hold tune on mine so are serviceable, but changing to better ones is problematic. The string barrels for the 3rd and 4th strings angle up towards top of headstock slightly and the barrels are slightly smaller in diameter than standard. Ratio is 15:1 Total weight of the guitar I received was only 5 pounds, 7 oz.As stated in the description, the on-board effects for Delay must be used in conjunction with the Reverb (?) control knob. The Reverb seems to work by itself, but only if the Delay knob is turned all the way off.It was helpful to find that, if the "Power Switch" is in the Off position, OR..... if the battery dies, the pickup still works when connected to an external amp using a standard 1/4" cable. However........ the guitar Volume control does not work in these conditions so must be controlled externally. (Handy to know if playing on stage though as I plan to.)The included Gig bag is better than I've seen at this price point and has more padding and even a Neck cradle with securing strap!And so.... I do recommend this instrument and Fojill for making these available, with the understanding that they are not perfect, but very good for the price.

Excellent sound for the price, nicely built and because it's relatively symmetrical, easy to switch to left-handed. I just adjusted the bridge by moving the screw on one side. It feels like a full size classical guitar and the neck feels good.In common with all current travel guitars, the neck and tuners are one piece so it's too long to fit in a suitcase. I modified it to be like my old Aria sinsonida travel guitar and now it disassembles to 19.25 inches long.

I would hesitate to call it the best I've seen, but it is definitely the best for the money. Beautiful satin finsh, decent padded gig bag. Came with strings pre-stretched and then detuned for shipping. Neck is straight, intonation is dead on the money up and down all frets/strings, and no fret buzz at all. Action is low and fast so even a beginner should be comfortable playing for extended practice. The only negative point is the piezo is a little hot giving really bright treble and bass. BUT, for earphone practice crank the bass on tone control and it sounds fine. I plugged this into my Orange Crush and switched guitar to clean. With just the basic amp functions I can play orchestral guitar, classic rock, folk, and even metal by cranking gain, OD, and reverb/delay on the guitar effects. For personal use this is great, and in a pinch I could use a better amp my choice of Martin strings and do live performance with this guitar. Is it a Yamaha or Cordoba? No, but it matches or betas their low end classicals. A very good instrument out of the box, and Fojill is a brand to watch for. I can't speak for their other models, but I may very well get a few to see how they run across different models. I only found one other review for this guitar, and the reviewer pretty much agrees with my assessment. If you are hesitant take the chance, and be pleasantly surprised.
