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.

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.

If I made any real money from my gigs I'd buy a pedal tuner. The small screen is OK under a capo because its closer than the headstock. My micro is great because it snaps to my capo making it easy to fine tune guitar after capoing. So if you're into everything being high quality, there's that. its the Bic ball point pen of pens, not the Cross. They are meant to be cheap and work good until they break and you get another one. These are not heirloom quality pieces of kit meant to last. I'd say he knows.) Then again, the way snark churns these out, even if only 1 % were bad there would be thousands of bad ones out there. I have seen most every famous mandolin player or folk rock star with one on their instrument so if they were notoriously bad, I kind of doubt Chris Theile would have one hanging on his Loar Gibby (I've seen Chris blindly pluck a note and call it out by name up and down the neck. I rubber banded it back together and it works but is fragile so stays home. But I have two because my first one snapped at the neck which is a weak spot.
