You get what you pay for!

Pros: cheap
Cons: cheap
"I hesitated to buy this guitar because of the mixed reviews but figured it would be an okay guitar for my son to take to school for a beginning guitar class. It was so warped it couldn't even be tuned by anyone! Even the guitar teacher said it was hopeless. Thank goodness for Costco's great return policy!"

Great buy

Model Number: Silvertone SAK SD 3PAK NA
"We bought two of these guitars for two of our grandson's to learn on and we are very happy with them. Not only do they have a great sound, but included extras that the boys needed so it saved us buying those extras as well. Our boys love them and their music teacher is impressed with them as well. I would buy them again with no question."

No Picks

Pros: cheap price
Cons: you get what you pay for.
"The guitar seems OK. It came in a box with everything disorganized. There were NO Guitar Picks in the box. No instructions and basically seem like it was repackaged. Next time I would buy in the store or from a guitar store."

Great 1st Guitar

Pros: inexpensive, full size guitar, comes with a electronic tuner and pics
Cons: strap is unconfortable
"I wanted to start playing guitar but didn't want to spend a lot of money because I didn't know if I would stick with it. It has been a week now and with the help of the Chord Buddy, I am loving this guitar! Once I learned how to tune it, it sounded pretty good. I do have to tune it after every couple of days but no big deal, it only takes a minute."

Real Good Starter Guitar!

Pros: value for money, sound, tuner and other accessories, free shipping
Cons: not a padded gig bag
Model Number: 119981
"I purchased this guitar for my 13-year-old daughter and it's a much better quality than I've expected. It's a full size guitar even though it looks pretty small when it's in the box. It makes a little buzzing sound from high strings like other reviewer mentioned but it's acceptable and still clear. Overall build quality is good for a guitar under a hundred dollars and the included tuner works good as well~! My girl is very happy and practicing a couple of hours every day now. Definitely worth for the price I paid!"

Worst online purchase

"The first shipment contained a child's guitar. Costco was able to ship the second one with no additional cost. The second one looks like a child's guitar as well. The workmanship is sub par & it looks nothing like the photo on the site. The headstock & the neck is super short and skinny. Looks like I'm playing a banjo. Part of the pick guard was glued on the bridge. Unless they shipped the wrong product again for the second time, this is a child's guitar. If so, Costco needs to change the product descriptions. Better yet, they should carry American made guitars."

Excellent value

Pros: hard to wrong with costco
"Bought this acoustical full size guitar for my son who is 8 years old. I bought a beginners kids guitar music book and he is off to a good start. It has easy to follow tuning instructions for the tuner that is included with the guitar. This guitar has steel strings and great sound. I play piano and am teaching my sons piano but they have an interest in the guitar so Costco offers a great value making guitar playing affordable."

Good quality.....Not so good workmanship!

Model Number: SD
"Pros: Extremely fast shipping!
Nice look and feel.
Tuner is easy for a beginner to use.
Cons: Some of the tuning machine nuts were not tightened down causing washer to rattle and vibrate when playing. Was not sounding good, and I was going to return it, until I pin pointed the problem and tightened the nuts down. It was an easy fix though.
Bag and strap leave something to be desired."

Defective product

"I love Costco, but this guitar was a disappointment. It sounded good, but the higher strings buzz when you fret them. Normally the fretboard is adjustable so you can lower it (or raise the strings) but the nut used to do this was stuck. Thankfully, Costco has a great return policy."

Better than known brand

Pros: great price
Model Number: Silvertone sd
"I bought this guitar and also a basic version of a known guitar brand -Fender also carried by Costco. I took both of them to a professional guitar player (who teaches in few schools) to help me select the better one. After trying both, he told me to keep the Silvertone because it sounded better. I guess if it comes to a basic guitar the name doesn't matter. They are very similar in sound. Hope it helps! My son loves it and it sounds really good!"

Very Good Value!

"I strongly recommand this set for the beginner. At first, I was bit hesitant to order because of unknown brand and the low price, but quality was better than I expected. It comes with everything(even spare strings!) you would need as a first timer. Fast delivery and price includes shipping too. Can't beat the value over the price."
