Pyle Electro Resophonic Acoustic Electric Guitar Set, Full Size Round Neck Traditional Resonator, Built-in Pre Amplifier, White

I really like the guitar. And the shipping company was very polite and friendly.

Impressed with quality , sound , and extras. Did get a tiny segment of zipper inside of gig bag ( extra wrapped ) in gig bag so no damage . And due to early delivery , wish they would have stood box up , either way blocking door . Bad weather getting box wet , but caught package at 2:45 pm .Would order again and impressed to have a America made product .

Well its me again making another review. This time its on my new Pyle Electro Resophonic Acoustic Electric Guitar. 1st The boxing seemed to be pretty standard until I opened it then I was impressed. The guitar was its a foam case for protection WOW! I've never had that before but sweet. As I pulled it from it foam its Sarcophagus it was in its gig bag rapped in foam. Ok this guitar is amazing. Looks beautiful. And after a bit of tuning sounds perfect without the amp. I haven't hooked it up yet so still something to play with. This is my 4th guitar and will offer that Spanish sound Im looking for. It came with a tuner, strap, gig bag and few month free lessons from Pyle. So I'm very happy with this guitar. Saved me a bunch of money and still got the great looks great sound and incredible quality of Pyle. Thank you

Product was as expected, and therefore received a "4." It would have been a "5" if it had been better than expected and if it came with information regarding the correct string gauge. Although highly experienced on the guitar, and somewhat experienced on the mandolin and mountain dulcimer, I have never played a resonator before. All of the instruction books utilize a "high G" (GBDGBD from low to high) tuning, but I read that high G tuning will damage a round neck resonator when using medium gauge strings. The cone does not caputure light and extra light gauge strings, and if you wish to use a bottleneck or slide on a round neck you should use traditional "open G" (DGDGBD) or "open D" (DADF#AD) tuning. To utilize "high G" tuning so that I can follow the instruction books and accompanying audio, I have found it necessary to tune the resonator to "high F" tuning (FACFAC) with a capo on the second fret. The single half-step up to F should not put to much stress on the neck. It would have been helpful if Pyle had included this information with resonator. But otherwise, given the price, it is a good instrument for learning.

Resonator cap fell off as soon as I took it out of the box. Sorry.

Decent quality

I have bought three other guitar bundles at or below this price, and every one had excellent intonation. This guitar started showing bad intonation at fret 6 and got progressively worse as I approached fret 12, registering up to a half tone sharp on a good tuner, in comparison to being in tune open through the first few frets. I refuse to take a brand new guitar to a luthier for service that would probably double its price. Additionally, the high E string broke when I was tuning it, and I had to replace that string the same day it was delivered, which is unacceptable. Thankfully Amazon refunded me.

I got the guitar on the day it was supposed to arrive. Was packed in a form fitting closed cell styrene shell, a guitar box and a shipping box. Just had to tune it and go. Everything works as it should. Weight is good. Rings nice. I read another review that complained about intonation. There is no issue with that on this unit. Good all the way to the 15th fret which is where the body starts. Another review said the gig bag was insufficient. That is not a far cry from the truth. This guitar needs a better system to carry it as the bag provides very little protection. The molded styrene looks like it might be redesigned into a decent case with a little imagination. The gig bag did have paint splashes on it from a poor application of the "PyleUSA" logo which is stenciled on the front of the bag. I removed the offending paint with a wire brush and a few minutes of work. This sems like it is going to be a very nice addition to my collection and may well rise to my go to axe.
