Loog Pro Electric Guitar, Children, Teens, & Beginners, (Red)

Being a guitarist and amateur luthier, I know that you usually get what you pay for with instruments. If you spend a little money, expect that you will need to do a little work to it to get comfortably playable..However... there is a limit..This was purchased for my son for his 5 yr birthday that loves to play with my guitars, so I thought this might be a good way to get him something simple to start playing a little (& that fit his body/hands)...Out of the box:- The volume knob barely worked and twisted in its spot.. Obviously not tightened, and had a loose wire or bad potentiometer...- The frets were also so uneven that all the strings buzzed no matter how high you adjusted the action (even to the unplayable point)...This product is a good idea in my opinion, but it has been ruined by the cheap build quality and poor quality control...It was returned immediately... No way should you spend money this much on what amounts to a beginner children’s guitar, and it need 100’s of $$’s of wiring and fret level work to be playable..

As stated, this guitar is very cool in theory and concept, but cheap parts and lousy manufacturing make this product feel like a sham. I bought this for my (at the time) three year old and couldn’t even finish tuning due to one of the strings breaking within minutes of me removing the guitar from the box. Luckily I also play music and have plenty of spare parts and such at home so I threw a new, similar gauge string on and finished tuning.Plugged into the small Loog amplifier, the guitar sounds very nice; punchy and bright from the single coil lipstick pickup similar to a Danelectro. Very cool looking design (we got the red) and looks awesome when my kid is jamming.Within the first month the nut (the enamel string spacing piece at the top of the fretboard just below the tuners) came unglued. Again a quick fix, but not one I think I should have to make within the first month of having this $200 instrument. Poor intonation, fret buzzing, cheap machine heads are added to the list as well.It’s been a little more than a year since purchasing and the guitar still lives and breathes but needs constant adjustments, repair, tuning, etc. My biggest disappointment is in the value of this product because I really admire the design. Small neck, small frets, low action, three close-together strings make it easy for children to start playing guitar and not feel so bummed or intimidated by a big fat neck or hard-to-press wound steel strings.We also have had a Loog acoustic guitar of a similar style for nearly two and a half years and it has held up very well compared to this thing (possibly due to the first guitar having low tension nylon strings and less working parts altogether).My kid loves the guitar because he doesn’t know any different therefore it gets loved. I would feel a lot less sore about paying even $100 or so for this thing but sheesh, the manufacturer thinks highly of these rag-tag little guitars. I don’t mind spending good money for a quality item but the quality is simply not present here.

These are an invaluable tool to get youngsters interested in guitar. My 6-year old can make chords on the skinny neck. Both my boys are actually bypassing the video game system they just got, in order to rock out on their Loogs.This seller chose to pack this one free-floating in a loose, unpadded box with a few box-shaped styrofoam strips to keep the box shape. No padding on the delicate guitar at all. Unacceptable. All the accessories (the few that were actually included) were floating around in the box, causing scratches on the guitar.

I'm a middle aged guy who has owned guitars but found the process of learning complicated finger patterns a barrier to actually making music. I got the Loog for Christmas this year and in a few short weeks I am rockin' right along.I didn't tune it like they recommend so that using their app I'd be able to make the jump to a six string because, frankly, i don't care.I tuned it to GDG (open G) and searched for Cigar Box Guitar lessons and tabs online (for the three string Cigar Box Guitar) and, voila, I'm making music that sounds like music. With open tuning I can play a ton of chords with one finger (barring three strings is easier than six) but there are all sorts of other chord shapes to learn as well as the muting and strumming and use of a slide and all the other things that go into guitar playing.I'm sure "real" guitarists will turn up their noses but for someone who just wants to make some music, I'd say Cigar Box Guitar or if you don't like that aesthetic, Loog it up!

This product is very cheaply made and doesn't provide a satisfying musical experience at all. Spend your money on something better.

This is not so much of a guitar as a fun toy for kids. Does not stay in tune at all. Cheap build quality. 5 stars for 100$, for 250$ it’s an over priced toy.

Great for kids. Makes learning easy and fun. High quality product compared to “toy” guitars out there. Fun for adults to play with too

quality is okay sound is not great neither are the pick ups

Christmas gift - so not sure how the product is. But just to make you aware the box DOES NOT COME HIDDEN. The guitar is clearly visible on the outside. Not only this the huge sticker ruins the box (making it a much less attractive gift). Amazon please sort this out. You give huge boxes for single books... yet don’t think about ruining an expensive gift with a giant sticker. Perhaps use a postal bag in future.
