how is the action? Is it hard to press down on the strings?

It was a little harder than I like it so I took mine to my local music store and had them lower the action. Now it plays great.

i don't think you tuned it properly... do not apply too much tension, especially when tuning new strings. after all the stock strings are not good so get a set of good strings and start playing!

Based on my familiarity with picks I've used compared to others they are perhaps slightly thicker than average, it's a rigid pick, however, the edges are beveled which to me engages the strings more smoothly. I was once talked into buying a similar brand, but the pick had flat edges. I felt like I was slapping the strings instead of pushing on them especially when trying to play a fast line (for jazz). This has become my pick of choice. I would buy them in larger quantities if available. I prefer red only because they are easier to spot if I drop one.

It honestly compares pretty well surprisingly. I set the action on mine pretty low and get great sound without any fret buzz. I picked up this guitar to have as an extra I could get a little rough with and not have to worry about it so much at its price. It actually sounds better than my 400 dollar Schecter.

The size was a little big but doable for my five year olds, but the strings where to hard for them to push down. We got a smaller guitar and it has worked much better for lessons. This is a nice guitar though.

Action is always adjustable. This is a beginner guitar. I wouldn't count on anything special, however, if you don't like the action, you can always lower it or raise it to your playing preference.

It's all about getting used to the nylon strings..at first string will feel thicker and probably a bit harder to press compared to the steel strings..but for me it subsided as i continued playing. This is a nice guitar for a beginner.

Hi, the fret work was quite good on my neck as delivered. It did require a fret level, but I do that with all the necks I install anyway.The neck was bowed upward (back bow) so I backed off the truss rod and let it settle for a couple of weeks clamped down to a solid plank of timber. I did this only because I planned to fret level otherwise it could probably have gone on as is and the strings would have pulled the required relief.Cheers

I would say it is about as stiff as the two side buttons, maybe a slight bit harder to press, but very similar. It is not difficult to press down, but I also do not find myself accidentally clicking it either. I use it 9+ hours a day, as I purchased it for work and have not had any issues with any of the buttons.

I use these sometimes on a nylon string; you still get that sound of clicking. But, you can control it. You can start your stroke using the fleshy part of your finger and just let these finger picks do just a little click. I like it because I don't like playing with pick-ups so I get extra volume by using these picks.

It's pretty much as wide as a standard guitar. The frets are just closer together. It's kind of like playing mini chords but it's still pretty fun. The neck is wider than a uke

Yes , I do so after every hunting day(less wear on bow and quieter). There are u tube videos on how to do it. If done right it does not require much strength. I Wondered how you could hold back string with one hand ,but with proper leverage from a normal cocking rope there is very little pressure on it. Had a friend help first time, a good way to get the feel for it. Make sure to follow instructions closely and it's surprisingly easy.

Not true. It comes with strings and is playable as received; although minor setup is suggested. I use mine almost daily for (nearly) silent practice.

Yes it is. I found the strings were nice and low and easier to hit the chords than on my acoustic or classical. If you can get to a music store, most stock them and you can actually try it first. Do a search on guitar center and find the closest one near you. Then go see how it feels.

I got it for my Son. He said it's shallow and it doesn't have much grip. He said you have to play it for a long time to break it in. He thinks it a U model. Hope this helps.

I am not a professional regarding acoustic guitar. What I can do is give you my personal opinion. I love the way it plays for me being a beginner, very easy on the eye and to hold for learning. I know of some-one who was self tough on it and then passed it down to children, now they are learning on it.

Yes it has a very low action. I've played plenty of guitars, to include a full sized Martin, and the big baby has the lowest action and is the easiest to play
