Ashthorpe 38-inch Beginner Acoustic Guitar Package (Blue), Basic Starter Kit w/Gig Bag, Strings, Strap, Tuner, Pitch Pipe, Picks 38 Inch Blue
Overview
The Ashthorpe 38-inch Beginner Acoustic Guitar Package in Blue is an entry-level, all-in-one kit designed for new players, teens and adults with smaller hands. The 38-inch scale and slightly reduced body make fretting and chord changes easier than a full-size dreadnought without sacrificing a full, bright acoustic tone. This package includes the essentials—padded gig bag, clip-on chromatic tuner, extra strings, strap, picks and a pitch pipe—so you can start practicing right away. The guitar’s painted blue finish and lightweight construction make it a good choice for travel, classroom lessons, or gifting. It’s geared toward learners who want a playable, attractive instrument at an affordable price rather than a high-end concert instrument.
