isn't it great when you discover something that's such good value for money you're always
wary though as am i which is why i like to try out new gear from new companies you probably
haven't heard of HRICANE are a china-based intstrument maker
and they're popular on youtube for their ukuleles now they've reached out to me and asked if i'd
like to try out their new 41-inch acoustic steel string guitar for just 139 so for the purposes
of research and a service to you guys i said yes so let's unbox it and take a look at what we got
in the box you get a guitar a capo some spare strings a strap some picks an optional pick guard
that's a nice touch as i prefer not to install it myself and you also get a tuner
a cleaning cloth an allen key and a really nice padded gig bag absolutely ideal for beginners the
gig bag is a proper padded gig bag too so let's find out how it sounds and what it plays like
now according to the amazon website at least you get a solid spruce top
you get laminated back and sides a compensated bridge plastic nut but the
nuts cut perfectly the tuners are good they're on branded but the guitar does stay in tune
it's a nice slow action it plays well sounds well and overall a really good guitar for the
money
fit and finish on the guitar as you would expect this price point isn't perfect but i tell you
what it's actually pretty good for the money now the tuners are nice and smooth and they do
stay in tune and the sound from it is fantastic for this money it's a dreadnought style guitar
not as big as a full dreadnought so it's really manageable without being unwieldy
plays really smooth as well c-shaped neck nice and smooth
and the nut is cut really good as well i'm really pleased with the guitar and although
i can't vouch for the QC on all HRICANE acoustics this particular one fantastic
there's honestly nothing really bad to say a minor finish issue but that's it feels really good to
play in the hands sounds fantastic it's got a nice low end it's really well balanced and i bet
with some d'addario or i only bought aluminium bronze strings stick those on it and i think
it'll bring it alive all around great guitar not just for the money very highly recommended
especially for your first acoustic and if you're on a budget even better assuming
though that you'll get the same guitar that i got enjoy your day or evening thanks for watching
