Features

  • The new standard for intermediate - why settle for a strip down entry level model when you can have a gig ready Grand Auditorium guitar for the same price?
  • Grand Auditorium Semi-Acoustic, Big Sound in a Comfortable Size: A 40-inch semi-acoustic with a grand auditorium body that delivers rich sound, strong durability, and easy playabilitycomfortable to carry without compromising tone.
  • Laminated Zebrawood Top + Mahogany Neck Warm Depth & Balanced Resonance: A laminated zebrawood top delivers a clear, lively voice with strong note definition, paired with laminated walnut back and sides that add warmth, depth, and a more balanced, resonant feel while you play.
  • In-Built 2-Band Kadence EQ + Digital Tuner (Stage & Recording Ready): The built-in 2-band EQ lets you control bass, treble, and volume for live gigs or recording, and the built-in digital tuner makes tuning quick and accurate anytime.
  • Truss Rod Neck Control for Seasonal Action Changes: An adjustable truss rod helps fine-tune neck relief and action (string height), so the guitar stays comfortable to play even when weather and humidity shift.
  • Indian Rosewood Fretboard for Smooth Hand Movement: A comfortable Indian rosewood fretboard supports easy transitions, clean chord changes, and smooth playing over longer practice sessions.
  • Die-Cast Tuning Keys for Better Tuning Stability: Metal die-cast tuners hold the strings firmly, tune precisely, and help the guitar stay in tune longer between sessions.
  • Pro-Grade Fret Finish Smooth, Fast Neck Feel: An 8-step filing and rounding process ensures zero fret-sprout and a smoother, faster neck feelcloser to what youd expect from custom setups and premium guitars.
  • Deep Pore Finish Feel the Grain, Hear the Resonance: This deep pore finish lets the paint absorb into the wood instead of forming a thick layer on top, so you can feel the natural grain and texture on the body. It also helps preserve resonance and acoustic tone. This idea came from our product teams testingan unfinished guitar felt more alive and sounded more open, so we researched and found that luxury car interiors use deep-pore finishing. When we applied the same technology to the A06 variant, we heard a clear improvement in resonance, and thats how this version was created.
  • Complimentary Learning Course Included: Complimentary online lessons that cover tuning, fundamentals, and step-by-step guidance to play 10 popular songsideal for beginners.

  • No brainier purchase.
Model: CRE-KAD-A05EQBAG
Been playing guitar for years and I was pleasantly surprised with this guitar. To be frank, I don't see how these guitars are sold so cheap. This thing sounds better than my Taylor. Purchase this guitar if you are a beginner or professional, you will not be sorry. No sharp frets, minor setup, beautiful finish and stays in tune. It sounded absolutely beautiful through my acoustic setup. ... show more

  • Kadence A05 - Beautiful finish; decent sound - about what you'd expect for a $119 guitar.
Model: CRE-KAD-A05EQBAG
I'll be honest: I bought this guitar on a whim almost solely because of the gorgeous zebrawood finish and it did not disappoint. Sure, it's still a laminate with a very thin veneer, but at least it's not a printed picture top. For the most part the fit and finish is good with just a few minor blemishes. The fretwork was fine and the neck is thin, making it very easy to play. The electronics seem to work fine. Out of the box, it had horrible fret buzzing, but that was easily corrected by giving the neck a fair amount of relief (with the included Allen key) The factory strings are very cheap, so I replaced them. While I had the strings off, I polished the frets and conditioned the very dry fretboard. Once I got it tuned up, I tested it out. Overall, the sound is good, but nothing amazing. It doesn't have much sustain or bottom end. This seems better suited for fingerstyle play, but even then the notes don't ring out the way you'd like them to on an acoustic guitar. Again - is it terrible? No, it's about what you'd expect from a laminated $119 guitar on Amazon. It does come with a decent padded gig bag, which is nice. This would be a great beginner guitar, after minor adjustments. The finish is stunning and if that makes you pick it up to play then that's something. Please note that ALL guitars need some sort of adjustment. That's just part of owning a guitar. There are a lot of great videos online that teach you how to do a basic setup. Just because you get fret buzzing doesn't mean the guitar is bad - it just needs to be adjusted. Wood changes with temperature and humidity. If you don't feel comfortable adjusting your guitar, find a friend who can do it for you. This is a good instrument at a good price. Let's Music! ... show more

This guitar is a shocker, for the price not only does it look good but it sounds better! I have a lot of different guitars especially acoustic, and this guitar is right up there with them all. Oh and I haven’t even plugged it in yet:) one note for the manufacturer! Leave the words acoustica off the guitar twice. ... show more

  • Quality is low and reviews are bad
Model: CRE-KAD-A05EQBAG
I bought this guitar because the reviews were good and even other sources gave high remarks but disagree.....I knew I was spending under 200 for a new guitar so my original expectations were not that high in the first place I just wanted a decent cheap guitar I could play around a fire and not work about.... it came to me with wrecked box the guitar case came with a hoke in it and the guitar was missing strings and the strings that were on it had rust on them... .. the tuner that is built in works great bit that is literally it... I am returning it ... ... show more

  • Color of top is lighter than add .
Model: CRE-KAD-A05EQBAG
First impression, it's lighter in color than picture on ad. I liked darker satin look. Top looks kinda cheap to me ,body is well built and beautiful wood. It needed adjustment out of the box not playable. After tuning with nice builtin tuner got some fret buzz. Truss rod is very hard to turn too. It sounds kinda tinny to me,I only play by ear so tone is important to me.I'm no pro and wouldn't suggest one would buy this ,it's like a 100 buck guitar no more imo. Wish I had picked the ash pattern veineer top though. I might not keep it ,sell for a loss ,like always ..lol. ... show more

  • Beautiful finish
Model: CRE-KAD-A05EQBAG
I enjoyed every aspect of this guitar. The beautiful zebra wood finish. Great built in tuner and the 1/4 output jack is in the rear strap bracket. As with some guitars small adjustments are needed or maybe some strings you enjoy or are partial too. My take on this guitar is it has fantastic carftsmenship, and great value for the money. ... show more

  • no setup
Model: CRE-KAD-A05EQBAG
It was a no-go for me, later I remembered I could have tried to adjust the truss with the included L-wrench but frets wouldn't play in first position (usually it's the higher frets that won't play lol) and my other guitars played out of the box. Not set up at all.
