Review: Killer First Guitar....for Beginners and Experts too. - Well, here I sit with sore fingers after yet another session with this beauty. This is a fantastic guitar at a great price. It looks great, and the thinline body makes it easy to get to the strings...it's just closer to your body. The stock strings are decent, but I put some D'Addario EJ17 (medium gauge) on the guitar and it sounds amazing. Strings make a heyooge difference. I invested in a Super Snark electronic tuner and it's an easy and fun way to get a guitar in-tune quickly. I went down to .012 D'Addario Phosphor Bronze strings and this thing really sings with these strings. I tried 80/20 (that's 80% percent Bronze to Zinc) and I thought the guitar was too bright with these. Because of the woods used; Nato wood for the body (a less-expensive Eastern Mahogany) with Spruce top and Rosewood fingerboard, the guitar projects very well...surprisingly so. It's not a full Dreadnought body, but it plays almost like one to my ears...and I'm a big fan of that Martin sound. I also compared this to a Simon and Patrick Woodland Spruce, and it holds up well. It's amazing that they avoided laminate in a guitar this inexpensive, assuming the Nato body isn't laminate. The action is pretty good, and the strings aren't overly far from the neck, though some people have shaved down the bridge for a little easier action. Any good luthier can set this guitar up for you, or if you're the daring type you can do this yourself. Some have mentioned improving the pickup with a EQ 505R Pickup, which I may very well do myself. I haven't tried the guitar in an amp yet, but acoustic amps are expensive! So far I like the Fishman Loudbox Artist, since it has real control over guitar and mic (in the same amp) and has a headphone jack. Yes. Headphone jack! This is a must when you live in an apartment or as I do, a townhome with shared walls. This is an amazing value. I'm just a casual beginner guitarist getting back to guitar after decades playing other instruments. This guitar is gorgeous in appearance and it's quite easy to play, even for people with smaller hands like me. My guitar playing has really improved....and it's all because this instrument was both affordable and great quality that my interest in guitar-playing (and skill) has reached a new level. I'd happily buy another one if something happened to this one, and can heartily recommend it. 5 Stars! Review: Yes, it's true, this is a nice guitar and a fantastic buy! - Ok, so you are asking, "Is this really a five-star guitar?" That is not what 5-stars means in desertcart speak. 5 stars means you love the product. That is a different standard than, "this is one of the most finely crafted guitars in the world, and should be selling for $5000." I still think this is a nice guitar. Not being able to compare side by side, I would guess that the electric side of the guitar is not up to snuff compared to a Taylor "expression" system, but this guitar cost $85! My Washburn has a richer sound, but it has 2 more inches of depth to the body. The Jameson does have a good sound, though; it does not sound like a cheap "play" guitar. Before I found out about this guitar, I was interested in a Yamaha APX 500ii thinline cutaway guitar, which is a directly competing product. It is not the same product rebranded by Jameson though, there is more of a curve to the APX body, the headstock is shaped different, the electronic controls look different, and the soundhole on the Yammie is elliptical. The Yamaha cost $300, and after testing it, I was not going to pay $300 for that sound. I remember feeling deflated after testing the APX, because I thought I had found the answer to my search, as the APX has a similar nutwidth and scale length as my electric. I think the Jameson sounds way better. I did have to do a little setup. The action was really high when I got it. I tightened up the truss rod, which changed the action like a champ, and improved the sound, as well, IMHO. The strings were really loose when it came, which is not unusual for new strings. Had to tune them up. Having changed my share of strings in the past 2 years, I know that strings stretch when first put on and you have to retune for the first several plays. Blue was not my first choice, but that is my fault, because I hemmed and hawed about taking the plunge on this guitar. When I first stumbled upon it, I was interested in the natural. It is sold out. I am glad I didn't wait until all of the Jameson guitars were sold out. Don't you be the person left out in the cold. Why did I want this guitar: I am 45, but I have been playing guitar for only 2 years. I have an electric guitar, an Epiphone ES-339 Pro, and an acoustic, a Washburn WD-32SW. I mostly am studying electric blues, but I also like bluegrass, Christian praise songs, and some classic rock, like Joe Walsh. Well let's face it, I like many other genres, but there is only so much time. Why get another acoustic? At least 4 reasons: 1) I wanted an acoustic/electric guitar; 2) the Washburn, which I also love, has a different nut width and scale length than my electric. I feel like that messes me up when I switch between them. With my right hand, I sometimes miss with the pick when I go from the smaller nut width to the larger, because the strings are spaced out more. With the left hand, it is easy to go from a narrower nut to wider, but going back to narrower can lead to accidental muting of strings, or at least not hitting the strings exactly where you want on the tips of your fingers, until you reacclimate. In talking to experienced guitarists, people just get used to going back and forth between nut widths, but I am either not there yet, or it is harder to learn to switch back and forth when you start playing as a middle aged person. I was very interested in a Taylor 414CE, with a factory customized neck/fretboard to match my Epiphone nut width and scale length. What was holding me back? The cheapest price I could find for the Taylor was roughly $1800, with the customizations. 3) I would like to have an acoustic that is tuned open, so that I can fiddle around with slide guitar blues. I still will have some right hand issues if I tune my Washburn to open, but hey. 4) The Washburn, which has a beautiful sound (google this particular model) is a dreadnought. I just have never really fit quite right into a dreadnought, at least while standing up. I wanted a smaller bodied acoustic. ## Features - Classic acoustic guitar design: This full-size 41" acoustic-electric guitar from R.W. Jameson features a beautiful design and exquisite sound.

My other guitar has a 9V battery for the pickup and it works well with Rocksmith. I am not sure if maybe you can boost the signal before plugging into the game. **Q: Can you put a strap on this guitar?** A: Tying a strap to the neck looks dorky and makes it hard to get the strap on and off. For about 75 cents US, you can go to your local music store and buy a "strap button" -- a little hourglass-shaped piece of metal with a hole through the middle. Just screw the strap button to the guitar and TA-DAA! That's it, you're strapped!Example: http://www.amazon.com/Jim-Dunlop-Strap-Button-Single/dp/B000X31R2EThe goal here is to attach the strap button to the center of the "heel" of the guitar (the heel is the part of the back of the neck where the wood swoops down to join the back of the body; Google has some pictures of it). Nowadays I use a drill to make a starter hole for the screw, but if you're lacking power tools and fairly patient, you can just use the screw itself to drill its own screwhole, as follows...DIY INSTRUCTIONS: Position the point of the screw touching the center of the heel where you want to start the hole, then hold the screw there with one hand and use the other hand to turn the screw clockwise with firm pressure, so the threads of the screw drill themselves into the wood. (You may need pliers or tape etc to hold the screw in the right place at the right angle until you get it going. Also a screwdriver DUH.) Drive the screw in about halfway then unscrew it and take it out, then use that same hole to screw the strap button to the guitar, driving the screw all the way in this time so it holds the button snugly onto the wood. This was how I attached the strap button to my first acoustic guitar in 1981 and to many many others in between.(I admit I put a few scratches on the heel of my first guitar from the screw tip slipping around before I got it started in -- and before I discovered pliers & tape -- but nobody ever saw that part of the guitar anyway.) (I suppose you could also just have them install the button at the place where you buy it, but stuff like that never occurred to me as a kid.)Strap buttons usually come with the screw included, but if yours doesn't, find a wood screw skinny enough to go through the hole in the button but with a head big enough to stop it from going all the way through, at least 1 inch long and I usually go at least 1.5 inches. As long as you're close to the fat middle of the heel and use a thin screw, you won't split the wood or anything, and the guitar should hang fine around your neck. And strange as it sounds, you'll feel closer to your guitar afterward, knowing you mutilated it yourself. I did, anyway. But whether you install it yourself or have it done for you, don't be a dweeb -- forget them silly knots and get you a strap button!. **Q: Why does it say acoustic electric can you plug it up to an amp** A: Yes, it comes with a cord which allows you to plug into an amp (if you want to) it sounds very good too. This guitar is the sweetest value you will find, I have not read one bad review out of many, I always tell everyone that I can't believe the whole package was less than $100. **Q: How often do you have to tune this guitar? Does it stay in tune well? How is the sound quality, as I can see its body is not as big as other guitars?** A: This guitar stays in tune pretty good, I tune it once every time I play it, I do not have to tune it anymore after that. If you buy one of those SNARK clip-on tuners it is real easy to tune, less than $10.00. I did check and tighten any loose small screws on the tuning keys. I love the thin body of this guitar and it is plenty loud, more than you would think. There are many top name guitar builders making them now. The tone is pretty good too, as with any guitar, if you hear any rattles or buzzing, check for something loose on the guitar or you may need to adjust the truss rod on this guitar with the allen wrench that is provided. If you have an amplifier, plug it in, the guitar sounds pretty good that way too!! This guitar is one of the best bargains a person will ever find for under $100.00, a better one will cost you three times that much and there is really nothing wrong with this one. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Killer First Guitar....for Beginners and Experts too. *by D***E on July 19, 2015* Well, here I sit with sore fingers after yet another session with this beauty.

This one seemed like a great price and looked cool so I went with it. I have been using it for a few months now, so I feel ready to leave a review. For looks, you can't beat the price, to me it looks like a much more expensive guitar. The included case was very nice to have on hand as well, I occasionally use it to carry around the guitar and it is nice to have it protected. As far as playing the guitar as it was when I got it, I would say it is OK but not great. In my opinion, a guitar (regardless of how cheap it is) should come from the factory properly adjusted, without any fret buzz etc. This one definitely had that going on and I did some research on how to adjust it to get rid of that, tried a few different recommendations but nothing seemed to work. I ended up having to remove the strings, add a very thin shim below the bridge to raise the strings up a bit, and that did seem to help, although after tightening up the strings again the high E string snapped. Not entirely surprising, as this is a cheaper guitar and thus will probably have cheaper strings, not a huge surprise. I bought a good set of higher quality Elixir (light) strings and installed, it sounds so much better now. So with a few modifications, it now sounds like a pretty decent guitar. So if you are looking for a budget guitar that looks great, but are OK with making some adjustments to make it sound better, this is a great choice. If you don't want to modify and want to just have a great guitar without dealing with all of that, I would recommend buying a more expensive guitar. ## Frequently Bought Together - Jameson Guitars Full Size Thinline Acoustic Electric Guitar with Free Gig Bag Case & Picks Blue Right Handed - Amazon Basics Adjustable Guitar Folding A-Shape Frame Stand for Acoustic and Electric Guitars with Non-Slip Rubber and Soft Foam Arms, Fully Assembled, Black - Snark Rechargeable Chromatic, USB SN5X Clip-On Tuner for Guitar, Bass & Violin --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/1135062-full-size-thinline-acoustic-electric-guitar-with-free-gig-bag](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/1135062-full-size-thinline-acoustic-electric-guitar-with-free-gig-bag) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-08-12*
