Customer ratings for Hinkler BBG Electric Blues Cigar Box Slide Guitar Kit

I've been playing guitar for a long time and have a penchant for the blues, so I bought this for my '66.
Hooray... Very good decision.
FACTS:
There's nothing to grip, it's a slide box.
After assembly, you can adjust the fret purity with the "bridge screws" by moving them very slightly (flagolet tone 12th fret).
And if you press too hard when sliding, you may detune too much.
That was a hint for beginners.
I will glue small protective corners on the corners. For me, the enclosed slide fits perfectly on my ring finger. Approx. 20mm inside. Possibly look around for a suitable one!!!
Absolutely fun part for a super price that is also great for conversions.
Have fun

Great little blues guitar that is really fun to play.
It would have been good to know in the description that the enclosed booklet is only in English.

Good fun for beginners.
Price performance ok .

Am very satisfied as always the product is neat and works perfectly

A beautiful toy for little money.
Shipping was fast and smooth.
Gladly again.

Ordered as a gift for my guitarist. Very satisfied.

Very fast delivery

To start and test this CBG is absolutely sufficient. You can already do a lot with it. Buddy and I have ordered them at the same time, he however with another provider. With him with DHL delivered within 24 hours, with me with DPD almost 4 days, whereby Kirstein has shipped the CBG quickly.

The package is worth its price. Especially with the instructions and the CD for beginners. It works well.
Nowhere does it say that the box is made of cardboard. The instructions are in English.

Have already had a lot of fun with it. Was not much work the assembly. String up, tune and off you go. The non-adjustable pickup I find dangerous. There was a lot of feedback. The reverb mode rather not use!

Sensationally fast delivery. Assembled in no time. Sufficiently loud even without amplifier.

Fast delivery, very satisfied, gladly again at any time

Interesting little box, Unfortunately, some wood with foil deceptively real glued, even the TEN corners are printed on the foil.
For times so in between quite nice, but also no more

The BBG can serve as a toy and a surprise instrument.
You can make your wish come true to play a blues on the slide guitar or accompany ZZ Top hits.
Like all slide or lapsteel guitars, it's very easy to get started!

Manual in german would be good...

MFG. W.H.
otherwise from the price O.K.

As the headline says. Absolutely OK. The guitar is not fret clean but I expected no miracles for the money. It's fun to play and make first attempts with this kind of blues. The assembly is really easy but I had my fun with it. CD and manual are in English (manual). What can I say: If you expect a professional instrument you will be disappointed. But who is looking for something to have fun learning and enjoy is right with the bundle in my opinion....

Works perfectly, good price-performance ratio.

I came across the 3 string guitar by chance and just wanted to try it out. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to find instruments in the entry-level price segment.

Pro: Pickup, strings, instructions - assembly and play (English) / price

Negatives: Unfortunately, the box body itself is not of good quality, the beklebung dissolved with me after a short handling, the guitar neck is quite wakelig glued to the body and the 1/4ler input is also something loose.

I will probably have to build my own but even for the first experience I would not recommend this guitar unfortunately.

Price / performance very good. You can make music with the guitar properly...Pick up does not couple over PA

Well packed arrived, everything checked and intact
should be a gift for Christmas
so top price performance ratio

The part sounds really good and is very easy to assemble.About amplifier really the hammer.Have the same
2 ordered in addition, so that my niece and nephew can also start properly.

did not op the box and had not the time yet to fix all....must be good, we will see, it looks good !

Much kit it is not. Only 6 sleeves have to be inserted, 2 screws put on and the strings put on ... still tune, and then you can play.
The string action is perhaps a bit high, but if you don't push too hard and use the bottleneck, you can quickly play bluesy tunes that aren't completely off key. Amplified, the sound is also surprisingly good.
The workmanship is good and clean. A playing instruction is also included. I think the part is worth the money.

For the price it is top, but for advanced guitarists more a fun instrument.
Beginner of the slidemethod I would recommend it in any case.
