This for me, is one of my smaller reviews, it was written last year on Ciao and I thought I might as well show you people on dooyoo. Enjoy.

Falcon Blue Acoustic Guitar

My mom says I've got enough guitars now; I have two acoustics and one electric. I know most of your guitarists out there say that's nothing, but I can see where she's coming from, we have totally no room.

This guitar was my third guitar. I got my electric for my birthday last year and brought my second one quite cheap at a boot sale, lets just say it wasn't the best guitar in the world, so when I started to earn some money again I decided I needed a steel string acoustic guitar. I walked into the shop and the prices were well into the hundreds, but this falcon guitar was the last one in stock and I managed to get it for under £70.

It's more for beginners, because it's under £100, but I love it. It's got quite a sexy look to it, and I'm not disappointed to play it in front of people.

The Good Points
-----------------------

The good points that the guitar has is that it has a beautiful sound, especially when I learnt how to play it right. The colour is lovely; it's a deep blue colour which blends into the black outline, it looks very stylish.

The capo's are easy to apply to this guitar and have no problem when playing the guitar when they are on.

When I brought it the strings were very hard to play on, and my guitar teacher said because they were a gauge 12, and the best ones to use were 9. I changed it to a 10, because that makes the sound of the strumming sound much better.

The strumming sounds lovely and it works really well with strumming songs but not as good as my nylon one for picking.

---------------------
The Bad Points
-----------------------

The bad points about the guitar are that the body is huge, I am 5"4' and do struggle to get my arm across it comfortably. As long as I have it on the strap though, it's alright.

Even from the minute I brought it, it was covered in finger marks. The paint or something picks them up so easily. I once managed to find out that my sister had been using it because it had her hand print (quite small compared to mine).

The strings are also very hard to use to start with. It's almost impossible to push some of them down, especially if they are on the first fret.

Final Opinion
------------------

I'm not really an expert on guitars, I can just barely play 6 songs, but this guitar is value for money and is lovely to play.
Even beside the differences, you can work around them. I do think it's a fantastic guitar for beginners and is buyable.
The price ranges from £30.00- £70.00, I unfortunately paid around £60.00 which was quite annoying; it's a cheap acoustic guitar but is as good as a more expensive guitar.
