DirectlyCheap.com has a lot of beginner guitars for… well, a really cheap price. But in this article I will break it down to help inform you about the top five major problems you will find when buying a cheap beginner guitar.

This particular guitar set that I am reviewing today is the PGAKT39 beginner acoustic guitar. Before I get into reviewing the guitar itself, I’ll first start by telling you about everything the guitar comes with.

Kyser Pro/AM Screw on Capo Review

About the Kyser Pro/AM capo

This is a review for the Kyser Pro/AM screw on capo for a six string guitar. The capo is made of some type of metal that looks and feels a bit like aluminum, with two rubber sleeves that slide on and attach to the capo to prevent scratching or denting your guitar’s neck or the frets. The capo came inside of a small plastic little box, nothing fancy. I don’t think that it came with any instructions or paper with it either, just the capo in a box. The design for this thing is fairly simple; you slip it over the neck and screw it in place.
I bought my Kyser capo from amazon.com for about $4.00, but they normally range around $6.00 to $7.00 if you buy it from a music store or from the Official Kyser website.

I contacted Songbird Ocarina and asked them if they would be willing to send a product for review and they agreed to send the Kokiri Ocarina to be featured on my website. Before I get on with the review, I do want to point out that the two center finger holes are purely there for decoration. The Range for the Kokiri Ocarina of time goes as low as A4 and as high as F6 and is tuned to the key of C. Before I get on with my review I want to quote the makers of the Kokiri Ocarina.
