Great instrument. Beautifully made and sounds great.
I ordered this for my wife. It is stunningly beautiful and very well-built. You won’t find anything like this in Guitar Center. Lots of personality and tone. The size is very comfortable for ladies. I especially loved that they use a small fret wire. It gives a very vintage feel to it. You don’t see that much today.Read full review...

Exactly what I wanted
After reading the reviews and watching YouTube reviews, I decided to take the leap and bought my own. What a beautiful guitar! Stays in tune, comfortable size, with a great sound.
It’s the prettiest guitar that draws me in to play it every day. Thank you everyone who honestly reviewed this guitar, for the money I paid, I couldn’t be happier, worth every cent.Read full review...

Lovely, playable talking point,good value and well packaged
I always wanted an inexpensive, unusual guitar,my last one being a blue Ovation copy with leaf soundholes 15 years ago|After seeing vine leaf type models second hand I decided to risk transport and customs and buy a new Caraya from Australia. It came with bag,strings 3 picks,lead and electric tuner even though it has one built in and was packaged really well.I went in blind on customs costs in UK and was satisfied with what came to £48 duty and tax, bringing the guitar up to £290 on my doorstep. I tuned it that day and, to be fair havent played it much yet ,but am looking forward to spending some time with it very soon.The sound is clear and pleasant, no buzz or hum either acoustic or plugged in. Action is easy to play and I like the thin neck (41mm wide at nut)Read full review...

LOOKS GREAT AND SOUNDS GOOD
Very good value for money.
This guitar has a solid feel and plays well over the entire length of the fingerboard with a low easy action and no buzzing. The construction uses beautifully book-matched laminated maple veneer faced ply with attractive bindings, purfling and rosette. The frets are dressed properly as are the nut and bridge saddle too.
The machine heads are unbranded but they have a smooth movement and stay in tune.
The pickup is loud but with a pleasant tone. The equalizer controls are basic, but effective. The electronic tuner is not backlit and with the sharp or flat indicator LED on it can be difficult to read the details in low light situations.
The free and floppy gig bag supplied is serviceable but for a guitar this pretty, I'll be picking up a hard case for it as soon as I can.Read full review...

Gorgeous guitar and gorgeous tone and excellent electronics!
The guitar was shipped very securely and quickly all the way from Australia to the United States. The guitar arrived with excellent action and feel. There was no need for a luthier to set it up. Frets were smooth. The electronics worked great when plugged into an amplification system. The workmanship was excellent - gorgeous inlay on the neck and matching purfling with the rosetta were awesome. But the most important thing is that this guitar has great tone and the flame maple looks terrific. I hope your guitar is as nice as mine is. I added a padded case and use a soft white polish cloth from the Dollar Tree to protect the back!!Read full review...

very comfortable to play
It's a beautiful guitar to look at and the tone is great, the acoustics are very good it sounds for ages after I pluck a string. I know I could have got one closer to home but I got exactly what I wanted. It was well the wait and cost.Read full review...

Awesome guitar
I’m very impressed being a fussy person…. Looks awesome sounds bright, internation is perfect, harmonics are perfect, inbuilt tuner is spot on to concert and the Acton is setup very nice, no need to adjust.
Plugged into my amp it’s crisp, warm and sweat
Over all it has a beautiful ring to it and the flame on the front, back and sides is really spectacular
it’s hard to believe it’s just a cheap guitar :) Read full review...

Caraya 837CEQ Extreme beauty and quality for the money!
Beautiful maple, quality and accurate assembly with awesome tuners and comfortable frets! Will be worth more in time due to shipping and manufacturing costs. Why spend alot of cash on big name guitars or pricey gimicky guitars like Fretlight when you can get a real instrument here?Read full review...
