I would say that the that the Valencia CL-160 DOES have a nice voice. I find its tones rich and deep. If you check back in within 24 hours, I will post a video review of this guitar so that you can HEAR its voice. The video allows you to hear the guitar being played through an amplifier. You will also hear that the electronic part, unlike the claim of another response to your question, is not cheap. There is a difference between inexpensive and cheap. When you hear it, I think you'll agree that it is a good buy!

Hello! I got Valencia CL-160 couple of months ago. Honestly, I'd rather pay two times more and get a cheaper version of Cordoba or Yamaha. (I have Yamaha 3/4 and it sounds brilliant).The guitar is rough and sound like a piece of wood. Strings are too high and you can't adjust them because there is no key hole. Electronic part is very cheap - the sound is awful. As usual: you're getting what you payed. Sorry for such a negative comment!

The guitar resonate well and easy to handle and its light, after the strings is streach, the sound is good and its for plucking and not strumming, I mean for classical not strumming.

Mine has been fine. For the price I paid, I feel it is a good value. Not a top flight guitar but for a beginner/novice or for a knock around guitar, good choice.

Its actually has pretty good voice unamped not anything to compete with an acoustic... i also put some extra light elixir strings on mine and the added timbre almost makes it like a baritone guitar...

Yes its great! Only downside I can think of was that it was a bit heavy due to it being some kind of layered all laminate. I ended up getting a baby taylor instead of this. I preferred the sound and feel of that guitar better but its up to you!

I could consider this a starter guitar. I bought it for my son last year as a means to get started on the electric guitar and he is ready to graduate to something better. I would not recommend it for a serious player.

Yes, It makes a great practice guitar. I bought this one for a teenager who is playing the guitar and he is becoming very good I can say. I have 12 guitars that I own and each one is different. This one is lighter than most electric guitars but the sound is very good. I would recommend it to any guitar player.

It sounds fine for practice, learning, and general playing. I restrung mine with better strings and it made a big difference. After a year and a half I still say for the money you can't go wrong.

uhhhh buddy, sorry to say that it was a gift for my baby brother. I did use it briefly while I had, but I used it with my guitar, that´s about it. I will suggest that you contact the guys from BOSS, perhaps they´ve tried it that way.

It honestly compares pretty well surprisingly. I set the action on mine pretty low and get great sound without any fret buzz. I picked up this guitar to have as an extra I could get a little rough with and not have to worry about it so much at its price. It actually sounds better than my 400 dollar Schecter.

The guitar is good for any age. It's small enough for a ten year old to easily handle. It sounds great too. Definitely not a toy.

I bought one for my daughter, and after one year of lessons and practice she understands how nice the sound is and what a quality bargain we have in this guitar...! But she is 40 and really takes good care of it, and that is where the difference will be for your child. This is by far an excellent beginner guitar, great sound, quality, and could last for yrs with proper care...

Hey, we all know that some 10 year olds are bigger than others. If your child has a reasonably large enough hand that he/she can grip the guitar neck like a baseball bat, then I would say yes to this guitar as a beginner instrument. The size of the body won't be an issue really. The hand size is the real concern. So, once again... YES!!! Enjoy!!!

Your welcome, I really like this guitar. I don't think you will be disappointed. Will you be taking lessons? Or are you learning on your own?

i have this guitar.its not bad. i learned basic, open chord guitar from youtube also. been playing over a year now. its a good starter guitar. just make sure any guitar u get has a good, straight neck and u'll be good to go. try to get bright d'adarrio strings on it for great sound.they are sturdy/long lasting strings too. a great beginner song to learn is 'down by the water.' by the decemberists. and 'sweet pea' by amos lee.

Bret: it is a very well made guitar, despite its cost. It sounds very low without an amp, as many other solid bodies, however, while travelling, I used my iPad for a large variety of tones at room level, and it worked very well. A small battery power amp works well, too. If you use a large amp, it sounds fine, however it is relatively clean/dry, as expected from any piezo pickup. There are several videos on YouTube that show show you how to restring it very easily.The neck is similar to my Tele ´63 reissue or Les Paul 60s neck. It is confortable and the fretwork is excellent. I don´t think you can make a better electric guitar of this size and weight. Bret: it is a very well made guitar, despite its cost.

I'm very happy with the guitar. It has a very full sound and with it being a 12 string, the sound diminishes slower than a regular 6 string as the strings start to wear down, which makes for less times re-stringing the instrument. It is fairly light weight. I can play it standing up for long periods of time with no problem.

Hey John, this is actually my first guitar and I have had it for almost a month and I love it. I am using it with the game rocksmith and it sounds amazing for a guitar that cost $80. I even had a buddy of mine check out the guitar and he loved it. This is a perfect guitar for a beginner. I don't think you will regret it.
