« Harmony Electric Guitar »

Published on 08/10/03 at 15:00
I received this "instrument" as a Christmas gift from my parents when I first started playing guitar. I had learned on an acoustic but wanted an electric to play on. Ohh boy, wish I had went a different direction and asked for money instead. I think they got this guitar from a catalog for $75.00 or so. It came with some really poor teaching manuals and an amp the size of a coconut. I figured it would be nice to at least learn electric on...I was mistaken.

It's light.

First off is the actual sound of the instrument...it's non-existant. The strings buzz horribly. The screws to lower the strings are stuck so I can't change their height above the fretboard. It's nearly impossible to tune this guitar because of the weak sound. The pickups are horrid.

The body seems durable enough. However as far as quality, that's as far as it goes. The volume knob broke about a week after getting the guitar...and the amp that came with it broke another week later.

The quality of this guitar is shoddy to say the least...but I guess that's what you get for paying some seventy-five dollars. I honestly wouldn't recommend this guitar for even a beginner...go with a Fender starter set or something along those lines.
