![]() ![]() this review is not that of a professional.Julien’s Auctions has announced that, on June 19, 2020, Prince’s “Blue Angel” Cloud guitar (pictured above, courtesy Julien’s) will be auctioned with an estimate is $400,000-600,000. i have strummed the guitar (as im told this is one of the first things you should learn, as you need a good strumming technique) and the sound/tone is very pleasing to my ears, and to me, in my humble opinion, sounds quality! my neighour wanted to hear it with the amplifier (a lindo avg-10), and after some tweaking, i achieved a very nice sound indeed! the chromatic tuner is very easy to use, and as it transpires, very accurate, as i also have the lindo wst-65old tuner, and on using this to double check the tuning of my guitar – showed each and every string was perfectly in tune – which was very reassuring to see on the display. the tuner/pre amp and its outlets are very well fitted, the machine heads turn smoothly, its strings feel and appear good quality, the body and neck has a lovely shine and the rosewood fret board is smooth and well made with the shark inlays (fret board markers) very well fitted and finished off. i did a lot of reading/research on-line (as i was on a budget), and now its here, i know i have made the right choice, as the following basic testimony will indicate. on opening and seeing it for the first time – it is very impressive! my elderly neighbour came around this morning for a coffee and asked me if it had arrived, and on seeing it stated: “it looks the part, doesnt it?” (elderly speak for impressive, i think?). I am new to playing the guitar so in reality i am a total beginner and this is my humble opinion on the new lindo shark. I think this is going to be a good long lasting guitar from the quality, and I can highly recommend it. It strums nicely, and finger picks great too – and feels solid and nicely made. There are ‘shark’ capos available online, should anyone want to go to those lengths (they come in gold, silver or black) – and as I use a sharksfin plectrum, that just about makes the set. The looks are as good as the images suggest, possibly better as you can get close up and it is a really beautiful instrument. Where it really scores is in no player fatigue – I played it all day long and came away without feeling as though I had been playing that long. It sounds sweet and ‘musical’ – and it is probably the nicest electro acoustic that I have. The action is fabulous – as good as guitars that are three times this price. It came fast and securely packed and after a bit of tuning it was ready to go – and no sooner had I started playing it, I wasn’t wanting to stop. If you get into this level of price there are a few alternatives – would the Shark ‘eat up all the competition’? The answer is YES. I had always fancied the Shark as an electro acoustic for its looks, but it was only once I had bought another cheaper Lindo guitar and found it to be really nice that I seriously considered going for the Shark. She easily strummed an E chord on this guitar. His young daughter who is about 8 years old is learning to play guitar. A friend of a friend visited a few days ago. On close inspection the dots on the edge of the neck could be a little tidier but I’m very happy with my purchase. Overall, the guitar looks and sounds great. For the price, one would imagine these to be part of the package but they are not. Would be nice if the guitar came with a couple of plectrums, a spare set of strings and a strap. If you’re very new to guitar play it will take a week or so for the skin on your fingers to toughen up enough to comfortably press the strings. You might need a pack of plectrums (I bought a tin of 48 for £3.99 on Amazon) and cleaning solution (again, I bought some on Amazon for £3.89) and a strap. You will need a spare packet of strings just in case you snap a few - easily done **cough cough**. There are plenty of ‘how to’ guides on YouTube which will help you set up your guitar. The built in tuner will help with the tuning, you will know by ear anyway. There is an allen key in the package which is used to adjust the neck and therefore to lower the action. Atmospheric conditions vary from location to location so we always need to keep an ear on the strings. My review of this guitar needs to be understood in that context.įresh out of the box the action seemed a little high and the guitar must be tuned. He now teaches music - one of the many plot twists in his vocational life. ![]() I am a novice guitar player but grew up listening to my dad play guitar. ![]() This one sounded best for my price range. Before buying it I listened to a few demos of different guitars being played. ![]()
