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

Guitar arrived today and it honestly surprised me. I am an old guy and don't get surprised easily, but this one got me. I was happy to see the action was nice and low and better than that it even sounds very good. I wasn't expecting it to be ready to play. I did just hydrate the fingerboard which was a little dry. I will change strings even though these seem fine. I just always restring all my guitars when they arrive whether an expensive Gibson or a very inexpensive guitar like this. No fret sprout and tuners seem fine too. At first i thought something was wrong with the electronics because no sound was coming from my amp. Then i realized my headphone was plugged in which mutes the amp. As soon as i unplugged the phones, i was amazed at how good this little guitar sounded and how easy it played. I recommend this guitar for anyone from beginners to pro's who want something to practice with and not have to worry about getting a scratch or whatever. Buy it!

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.

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

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.

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.

The one I originally got had broken knobs, the customer service people were very kind in replacing it for me. Since then I have received a perfectly put together guitar that is amazing for beginners! The sound quality isn't perfect t but if you're learning this is going to be perfect and the size makes it playable for anyone! An amazing guitar and company!

You get what you pay for - You'll need to rebuild this if you really want it to be playable. Much better off buying a name brand starter guitar unless you've recently filed for bankruptcy. Had to replace the tuners, tone pot (scratchy), saddles and strings (decent intonation was impossible with included hardware, would not stay in tune). Re-soldered some loose connections to the 3 way switch, replaced the nut (low e string action too low). Fully tore it down and reassembled because there were so many loose screws and similar problems. Comes out to about the same price as any starter guitar once you've replaced most of the hardware and given it some tlc. I bought this because it was the cheapest guitar on the internet, so I can put hair brained mods into it. If you're like me, then definitely buy one, freak. Otherwise stay far, far away!

For my first guitar, I don't know any better but I can definitely say it's pretty solid. I've tuned the strings with an app and comparing to videos I think they're pretty good. I looked for gaps between the neck and body but it was basically a perfect connection between the two, plus the frets aren't sharp when gliding my fingers across them. I haven't used the capo it comes with, but I did notice that the strength of it was enough to push the strings down. The amp cord works and is long enough for whatever I need to do. The orange pick I got felt a little too flimsy, so I used another one I had laying around the house from a lucky floor find. I'm currently using the case until I can get myself a guitar stand, but I have no issues with it. The strap works and is adjustable, and has been working well. The matte finish is great, I messed up with using a wet wipe and got sudd marks all over it, but after a good wipe with a microfiber towel it was gone. I'd say it's great for beginners, just dont forget to get an amp! I was lucky my family already had a speaker with a guitar amp port.

Super

Great, husband loves it.

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.
