A £129 acoustic guitar that plays better than some ten times the price? Yes, I was suspicious too.
In this video, I’m reviewing the Arrow Gold Auditorium Solid, a jumbo-sized acoustic that promises beginner-friendly playability without feeling like a toy. It’s got a chunky neck, big body, no electronics, and more setup care than most guitars three times the price. The tone? Well… you’ll want to watch for that.

Arrow Guitars are aiming to make affordable instruments actually worth playing – and in this case, they’ve nailed the setup even if the tone won’t start any forest fires. Solid spruce top, laminated mahogany back and sides, Richlite board and bridge, a satin finish that doesn’t feel like sandpaper, and a volute to survive the inevitable beginner drop. No pickup here, just a straight-up campfire guitar that won’t ruin your fingers or your bank account.
