Purchase: 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.
Pros: It's light.
Cons: 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.
Quality: 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.

Review Summary: 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.

Purchase: The Harmony guitar is a nice begginer guitar. I got it from a guitar magazine that isnt to widely used or read. I got this guitar for 200.00 because I always wanted a guitar and it looks just like a Fender.
Pros: I really like The whole guitar. The one thing i like most aout it is that the strings are very easy to tune and they hardly need it. The volume setting is very easy 2 set precisley on the exact volume you want. This is a great guitar for a beginner but can be used by anyone.
Cons: There really isn't much I dont like about this guitar. One thing however is that the tremolo(wammy) bar knocks it out of tune sometimes. Also the cord jack sometimes may come loose if you twist the wire, while unplugging it.
Quality: The construction of this guitar is very strong. It has a pearl white pickguard, and a rosewood neck. It also as some chrome like on the intonation settings, the frets are chrome, and the wammy bar is chrome. The quality of the unit is actually really good. The neck is tight on it, the frets are tight, some screws come loose occasionally.

Review Summary: This product is a great product for begginer guitarists. It may not be a popular brad, however it looks just like a Fender, has a great sound, and stays in tune most of the time. There are very few problems weith this guitar. Hey if this isnt eoug for you it comes with a small practice amp. Remember the name Harmony for almost the best harmony in a guitar.
