Martin Smith Acoustic Guitar with Guitar Strings, Guitar Plectrums & Guitar Strap

I bought this guitar for my son and was mazed at the quality. It looks great, sounds great and my son has not stopped playing it. It came with everything you need for a beginner. Excellent quality and great value for money. Would definitely recommend

so good for the price. you get so much and it’s really good quality. highly recommend for people just getting into guitars

Bought as an Xmas present for someone who wants to learn to play a guitar.Arrived on time, undamaged and securely packed. I say 'undamaged' - the tough grey plastic weatherproof wrap and the outer cardboard box had a finger sized 'peep hole' pushed through, either accidentally or deliberately. - but inside the outer box, the stand box, case bag, tuner box and guitar box appear present and undamaged.The person I'm buying it for has never even held a guitar so maybe they'll like guitar playing, maybe they won't. This seems a very reasonable price to pay for them to find out. I'll admit I don't know the first thing about guitars, beyond a few lessons in my youth, but most of the reviews I looked up on guitar sites and musicians sites seem to suggest the W100 is a good beginners guitar - or at least as good as any others in the £50-£80 'starter' price range.This set seems particularly good value as it has all the basic accessories: a bag, a stand, a tuner, some picks, strap, spare strings, even 'online lessons' ..... to go with the guitar. The only extra thing I could think of to add was a capo/clamp. OK, none of the supplied accessories are 'top of the range' but they all look perfectly functional - and 'a lot better than nothing'.As its a present for someone, I obviously haven't fully unpacked this kit, but my overall impression is 'very good value for money'.

For the money this guitar is great. You don't want to invest 500 quid on a guitar if you don't know you'll like it as a hobby. Mine sounds and looks great. After playing better and expensive guitars the only drawbacks to this one is that the fretboard is a bit slim from E to E string. This means less margin for error of muting strings than with better guitars with bigger fretboards. The margin for error is also reduced with regards to fret buzz, with better guitars you can be a bit sloppy with technique and not get the buzz I have found. I am also changing strings because I suspect the strings supplied may be slightly harder than usual, this is an issue for the lower E and B strings. however, I might just be playing too much and not have acclimatised properly. Overall, for the money, 10/10. I will be investing in a better guitar but this has served its purpose and I will remember it fondly lol.

You maybe asking your self is this martin smith acoustic guitar worth the price we'll yes it is I bought this simply to learn and then move onto a electoral guitar 🎸 Well for the price this guitar is fantastic the packaging is not the best but you wouldn't expect the best packaging for the price this guitar sounds great and is well built no marks or anything bent or out of shape if your looking for a fantastic beginner guitar well you found it never judge something by the pics or the price point because its always going to a hit and miss this would be perfect for someone looking for a decent guitar that comes with everything you basically need on a low budget that's my thoughts about this guitar anyways hope you feel the same way I did when I got mine thank you

Made in China it says on the box, which these days means you can't be sure of the quality - it could be great or it could be poor. For me, this guitar package is somewhere in the middle. The stand, strap and tuner are poor. The stand doesn't reliably support the guitar - it's a poor design - especially when you attach a strap to the guitar. The supplied strap is complete rubbish - bin it and get a better one. The tuner is OK, but the one I have won't let me check the guitar intonation - I have other clip-on tuners that do allow me to pluck the strings at the 12th fret to see how far out things are. The guitar itself is a mixed bag. It feels solid enough, but it doesn't sound that great with the pre-fitted strings. It lacks timbre. I changed the strings to a set of Adagio Phosphor Bronze 12's and I think it sounds a bit better, but not massively better. It still sounds a bit thin to me. Laminated topboard, I guess. The frets are reasonably well fitted and finished. The string action is OK, though I do get a bit of buzzing sometimes. The intonation is out a bit - I expected that and I guess it's not too bad - but I've not been able to fix it (though I'm no luthier.) The tuning pegs are OK. I'm not sure whether the truss rod does much when you adjust it. There is a small cosmetic imperfection on the topboard - a smudge of the black paint from the side found it's way onto the pine-coloured topboard prior to the veneer finish going on. It's noticable and somewhat spoils the look of the guitar. The factory that made the guitar needs better quality control. If the guitar had my name on it, I wouldn't be happy with it shipping with this type of cosmetic fault on the topboard. It's sloppy and it doesn't make me think positively about the brand. Overall I suppose it's OK, given the price.

I got this guitar as I’ve been wanting to start playing for a while now and it’s safe to say this guitar kit has to be the best purchase I have made in a while. It’s easy to use and even comes with a free trial on music lessons with simply guitar and online tutoring. It looks amazing and has a great sound to it.

Pretty good for starters, would recommend. You get what you pay for quality wise.
