Summary: Okay...
Comment: Their guitar is nice, but my pack didn't contain the picks and tuner. I was pretty disappointed on Christmas morning when my boyfirend wanted to play, and he didn't have a tuner. We decided it wasn't worth the trouble to send it backc, because he wanted to use it. So we had to go buy a tuner instead. Everything else was fine.

Summary: More STrings
Comment: It's a great guitar but since it's for begginners I think they should of atleast put a extra pair of strings with the package.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great starter kit
Comment: I got the package as a gift and it is as expected. Easy to follow instructions in the book with a cd to help you along. If you are new to playing the guitar this is a nice set up. I had a little trouble with the electronic tuner and am still not sure if its working properly, but I was able to tune the guitar between using the cd and the tuner. I've been playing almost everyday since getting the guitar and am starting to develop callauses on my three left hand fingers as noted in the book. I've been told by a guitar player that once I've played this Kona guitar awhile I should be able to play any guitar, so its a good one to learn on. The strings are a little high off the neck, but once you get used to it, other guitars will be seem easy, plus it builds up the muscles in your stringing fingers. I would highly recommend this guitar for beginners.

Summary: Decent kit for a beginner, but BAD packing job
Comment: This seems like a great kit, but it came wrapped in plastic wrap and a few pieces in cardboard in it's RETAIL BOX ONLY. NO special foam hardly ANYTHING to protect the guitar should the box get slammed around in transit. I'm not the least bit surprised that other people reported damage if this is how they ship their instruments. This also meant that when it came in the mail it was OBVIOUS what I was buying my husband for Christmas and the surprise was ruined. I'll consider myself lucky when he opens it if we find no damage.

Summary: Nice package
Comment: Having little to no knowledge about guitars, I did some basic research on guitar packages before deciding to purchase this set. I'm older and wasn't sure if I really wanted to go through the work to learn the guitar, but I did want to try, so I was looking for a nice "all in one" package to get me started without spending lots of money.
This set arrived promptly, was well packaged (the guitar was well padded by styrofoam and cardboard) and exactly as advertised. The book is much smaller than I was expecting based on the "...for dummies" series, but it seemed do-able. Although I had to put in 4 stars for the overall package, I'll briefly review each piece of the set for better clarity.
Guitar bag - 1 star, functional to keep the dust off the guitar.
Electronic tuner - 4 stars, works easily but the batteries were difficult to load without seeming to have broken the unit.
Book - 3 stars, an ok book & CD to start with, but very little depth.
Guitar - 4 stars, sounds good but a little tough for the beginner.
Picks - nice...
Some of the things I've learned about the guitar over the last few months: The strings sit somewhat high above the frets so it takes quite a bit of pressure to push them down. The strings that came with the guitar were most likely "ultra light" so moving to "light" was a bit of surprise, it made fretting the strings even harder. The pick guard is showing wear as is the fretboard under the strings nearest the nut. The guitar sounds good, but I wish I had gotten one with strings closer to the frets.
I also wish the pack had included a guitar strap and a better instruction set, but for the price, I feel it was a really good deal. I'm a guitar noob so my opinion is that of one who is completely new to the guitar.
