I was surprised how good the guitar was for this price and it came with complete accessories and gig bag. You have everything. The best deal I've seen. Very happy with the purchase.

Came with everything we needed for our 8 year old to start lessons and was impressed with quality of guitar and sound.

This is my third Vangoa all three are acoustic versions. Full size , 12 string and now the 3/4 parlor. This company makes what I consider to be the finest guitars for the prices. Fantastic finish and great sound. Playability was fine straight out of the box. Accessories are second to none. The Best Buy in acoustic guitars that I have found and I own eight total. Two are top names but I’d rather play the vangoas. Easy decision. Buy this guitar you won’t regret it.

Just got it today tuned it up and played still breaking it in. Very nice looking it's an exceptional value and sounds pretty good.Ill change strings soon but it sounds good with the factory strings for now. PS: this is the acoustic Only model no electronics and it's very good looking and sounds great. I'm considered an Intermediate player I'm enjoying the heck out of this 3/4 size Guitar 🎸. I have a full size 41 inch guitar 🎸 and an Electric guitar also right now this is my Go To Guitar not just because it's new....well maybe 😂😆😆😂 update: 11-29-24 put Martin light 10-52 strings on much better tone .

I just wanted a small guitar...this has high action, sharp frets and dull tone...ButIt was like $140 and I know what I'm doing, soI installed a 'fishman' from some random company for like $20 on Amazon...cut this guitar open installed the barn door and everythingAmplified with some reverb...this is actually a really good guitar. No, it doesnt check 'luxury boxes' but it checks the fundamental ones..with the saddle lowered with some sanding, and the spacer taken out the action is 1.7 at the 12th.Lightweight overall, even with a pickup this is a really light guitar which means...if you can actually play the guitar....you can actually get great spound out of this thing and it's small and huggableI prefer this one over the 3/4 cutaway WITH pickup...because Id rather choose the $25 pickup myself and save paying the $70 premium PLUSI hate the idea of a parlour size guitar with a cutaway...like how much of the box are you leaving for the actual sound of the strings? You lose something with every cubic cm of space you cut away and MOST acoustic songs dont require a lot of 15th fret doodling...seriously c'mon guitar makers..All in all this guitar is the epitome of a 4. It's really great..if the sharp frets bother you, rub a soft suede strap along it over and over again until the smooth out...your calluses will ooth the restIf no one else mentioned the sharp fret ends I wouldn't have noticed..thick skin I guess....from actually playing guitars and not noticing little stuff

It's a nice guitar but I was shocked that the frets on both sides stick out and are sharp!!! Very poor quality control. It was for my grandson and his dad/my son will file them down rather than return it. I've played many guitars, many new, and none ever had frets that didn't fit properly that stuck out and were sharp enough to be painful while playing.

I am a drummer but actually started out playing a ¾ size classic guitar with nylon strings back in 1973 and played for a couple of years. I then started on drums and never looked back. Drumming is still my favorite acoustic instrument today but I wanted to go back to playing the acoustic guitar for my personal entertainment and friends. I found the full length guitar to be a lot more challenging and difficult for me to hold the guitar and chord properly and efficiently. I was unintentionally muting strings a lot. I then purchased this ¾ Vangoa guitar which helped me considerably, correcting all of my playing issues and the cutaway is a real plus because I’m able to rest the guitar on my leg with ease with no more sliding around like the regular dreadnought acoustic body style does. Very little finger pressure is needed on the strings when chording so you can play a lot longer on it.I was surprised of the quality and feel of this guitar. The frets are perfectly mounted and don’t stick out over the sides of the neck, the action out of the box was spot on at .011 inches (the thickness of a business card) at the nut end with a capo on the 5th fret. The guitar just needed to be tuned as to be expected. This Vangoa guitar sounds great and no fret buzz. At first I was getting fret buzz on the low “E” and “A” strings but that was my mistake because I was pushing down way too hard on the strings when very little finger pressure was required so this would actually make a great guitar for young beginners as well as for adults.The jack for the amp is a little loose and the body could use one or two more coats of the lacquer coating in my opinion especially the back and sides but for the price it’s okay because the playability of this guitar is perfect. The tuners insides are metal except the tuner housing and keys are plastic so tune slowly. You could always change and upgrade the tuners if needed. The body wood feels thin and the depth of this Vangoa is a little more than 5/8" thinner than a full size guitar which makes it easier to play.Hopefully it stays tuned and the action stays the same, I will do an update if anything changes.I never seen a picture of a full size guitar next to a ¾ size guitar in any of the other reviews so I thought this one would help for size comparison.Update: 4/3/2019 Guitar constantly goes out of tune and now I can feel the frets sticking past the neck for some strange reason. Still enjoy playing it though.

This is basically a nice acoustic guitar with some cheap parts and rough edges. Fret sprout needed fixing, the bridge is lifting a little at the back, the tuners were almost useless, the nut and saddle were cheap plastic as were the bridge pins. However, the top is Spruce, the neck is straight, the truss rod works as do the electronics, the frets are level and the workmanship and finish on the body and neck are good. After fixing most of the problems it is now a very light, comfortable, easy to play instrument with great sustain, quick response and bright tone. If you own some tools and enjoy working on guitars (or just want to learn) for a few hours work and under $50 you can turn it into a nice $200 guitar.
