Ktaxon 39 Inch Solid Body Electric Guitar with H-H Pickup, Black Lightning

Really cant go wrong with this at all as a beginner guitarist, the tone is good, pretty sturdy, looks great, and feels great. im a complete beginner this was my first guitar im only 14 and for 80 bucks this thing was a steal. The only thing I have to complain about is that i couldnt get the caps off for the volume and tone knobs to fix my volume well its super loose now but i cant fix it, i think it might be glued on or something im not sure. other than that this guitar exceeded my expectations the frets are smooth the strings sound good enough to me, the capo broke a while back but thats not really what i bought it for, and dont use the cable it came with, mine broke inside of an amp and i couldnt get it out, had to throw the amp away.

Amazing guitar for the price! Great for beginners. My received for Christmas and loves the guitar. The design is great.

This entry level guitar is so good! It was playable right out of the box. Like most players I have made the usual adjustment to set it up the way I like with no issues. String height, pickup height, intonation are all easily adjustable. I haven’t even changed the strings on it yet, been too busy playing it. This is a great practice guitar as it is super light weight, has great tone. The only area for improvement are the tuners are a little jumpy, but this doesn’t affect playability. I’m blown away how good the guitar is for this low price.

Going to be reviewing this with beginners in mind. This isn’t a guitar intended for experienced players unless you want to rice it. But if you’re gonna make a $70 guitar and have to cut some corners, I think they cut the right corners on this one. I frankly find it hard to be too critical on this guitar because even though the thing feels cheap as cardboard, it’s perfectly playable for a beginner right out of the box. The intonation was great, the frets were level and had no sharp ends and no fret buzzing, and the electronics all worked and didn’t feel flimsy. As far as the important things are concerned, they got those things right. It plays fine and feels comfortable in the hands (albeit very cheap, but comfortable enough to play). You can tell pretty quickly that this is a very cheap guitar as soon as you start looking at it more closely. It’s completely unbranded, not a single label on it anywhere. The electronics panels still have sawdust and paint in them (I mean, it’s inside the electronics panel, not gonna knock the guitar too hard for this one), and the tremolo springs were VERY tight for some reason. String action was also slightly inconsistent, though not severely so. The finish is good, but it’s printed, not painted, so it’s gonna dent pretty easily. Has a couple small stray paint marks on the headstock, but no blemishes on the front. Looks as good as it does in the pictures. The setup job was decent. It stays in tune reasonably well once you replace the stock strings too, it doesn’t feel as flimsy there as I expected for the price. It’s good enough for a beginner to open the box and play right away, and it’s intonated better than some of the First Act guitars I’ve picked up and tried. As far as the pickups and sound itself is concerned, nobody is buying a $70 to win any tone awards. Whatever you expect this thing to sound like for $70, that’s how it sounds. It’s good enough for a beginner to practice through an amp, and that’s about it. The neck pickup sounds better than the bridge in my opinion (the bridge is a bit bright for my tastes), but again, $70. It’s perfectly fine for a beginner starting out. I could talk about how cheap this thing feels all day, but for $70, they got the important things right. Wouldn’t recommend it for experienced players, but if you’re just trying to buy a starter guitar or a platform ricer guitar (or buying a guitar for a kid that you aren’t sure is committed yet), this thing is fine. It’s a legitimate, perfectly playable guitar for under $100, and that’s a win in my eyes.

Very simple guitar, intended for beginners, but it can be set up for intermediate or even pro players. For the money, it is fairly well-made and it sounds really good. It is nice and light. The neck is pretty fast. The tuners feel cheap but they work. The vibrato bridge works well. The pickups actually sound pretty punchy and warm. It could be used as a backup instrument in live performance. I bought mine on Amazon prime deal day and I got it for $51. Once I set it up and put quality strings on it, I had a very playable little axe.

I had not purchased a guitar in over 15 yrs, due to the fact that every guitar designs I liked were extremely expensive. Thus was very skeptical due to the price of this guitar. But the pictures were so good, I just couldn't pass this up. Upon arrival, I discovered a fantastic piece of craftsmanship. The baked design with glossy finish, is nothing less than beautiful. The materials and electronics are good quality and sound great. The strings obviously are not the best. But this guitar plays well and sounds amazing for this price. I will be making future purchases from this store. Highly recommend for anyone.

This is my 2nd instrument from Ktaxon and so far I've learned that you will definitely have to work on it straight out the box, the truss rod hole was pretty scuffed up and it has one really high fret (21st fret) Cons: the body has little swirl marks, the neck was extremely dry, and the truss rod hole is a bit beat up. The bridge definitely needed to be balanced and the nut needed to be slotted, mine was poorly cut/slotted, but that is an easy fix. However, there are pros to the price point. Pros: The color is nice, pickups are not bad at all, it's super lightweight and somehow feels pretty sturdy. Once everything is setup it sounds and plays fairly well. It looks nice (despite the swirl marks and truss rod hole damage) and after a setup it is usable as an "ok" practice guitar and/or wall art. Definitely not bad for the price 😊

I'm amazed at the playability of this axe. For the price I was pretty well expecting a wall hanging decoration. Instead, I'm very pleased with it. I'm going to upgrade it but I've been jamming on it the last couple days and the tuners aren't as smooth as I'd like but they do tend to stay in tune nicely, even with the cheap, out of the box, strings. For the price this is an excellent guitar. Plays awesomely. I was genuinely surprised. Well worth ninety bucks.

Great, husband loves it.

Super

My son absolutely loves this guitar! It looks amazing! The design is awesome! Great price. The only thing I would complain about is the cover is super thin and the zipper broke even before having it a month and 1 guitar string also broke.
