30-Inch Beginner Acoustic Guitar Kit
This 30-inch acoustic guitar is built for new players who want a complete starter package. The kit includes a soft gig bag, shoulder strap, digital tuner, extra steel strings, three celluloid picks and an instructional sheet. It arrives ready to play straight from the box, making it a practical choice for students and teens beginning lessons.
Basswood Body with High-Gloss Red Finish
The top, back and sides are crafted from basswood and coated in a high-gloss red finish for a polished look. The body measures 30 inches long, 11 inches wide and 2.5 inches deep, keeping the instrument small and lightweight for younger players. A comfortable neck profile and 18 finished frets support easy fretting during practice sessions.
18.75-Inch Scale Length for Smaller Hands
The 18.75-inch scale length reduces string tension and fret spacing, helping beginners form chords with less stretch. Six pre-installed steel strings are fitted at the factory, though the guitar will arrive out of tune as new strings settle. Regular tuning with the included digital tuner is expected during the first few weeks of playing.

Questions about this item
What scale length does the 30-inch Ashthorpe guitar use, and how does that affect fret spacing?
The scale length is 18.75 inches, so the 18 frets are spaced closer together than on a full-size instrument, making chord shapes easier for smaller hands.
Will the 30-inch by 11-inch by 2.5-inch body fit inside a standard gig bag or soft case?
Yes, the kit includes a nylon gig bag sized for the 30-inch body, so no separate case purchase is needed.
The guitar arrives out of tune — what is the correct first step to bring it to pitch without damaging the new steel strings?
Tune each string gradually with the supplied digital tuner, stretching them gently by hand after each pass; expect several re-tunes over the first few weeks as the strings settle.
