Mitchell

Description

The workhorse of the Mitchell acoustic line, the D120 dreadnought acoustic guitar features a select spruce top with a lighter finish, and a mahogany neck and jatoba fretboard. Its mahogany back and sides, thinner finish and advanced, forward-shifted scalloped X bracing give the D120 a solid, rich tone and outstanding projection that is ideal for stage and studio. A modern, slim-profile neck design makes the D120 a breeze to play on any position on the neck, ideal for both chording and solo work. The attractive, multi-ply binding on the neck and body, and chrome, high-ratio tuners complete the outstanding looks of this traditional instrument. It comes complete with a limited lifetime warranty.

Before delivery, all Mitchell guitars receive a complete stateside setup and quality control inspection to ensure exceptional playability.

Mitchell D120

I purchased two of these as gifts for granddaughters. I know acoustic guitars and these are worth every penny. You almost never see edge of body binding or abalone rosettes at this price. I have replaced the original strings with D'Addario's for a fuller sound. And the sound is rich for this price level. The first one I picked in the store up was amazing and set up perfectly. The second one (in a new box yet) needed a neck truss rod twist (action was high) but it also all fell into place. You cannot feel the fret edges at all unlike most guitars at this level. Interior construction (I looked) is a bit sloppy but appears solid. There are splinters left over on the inside bridge backing plate. And the thin backing plate itself doesn't look like it will stand the test of time. But that is my only complaint. Need a first guitar? Go and play one of these.

AVOID BUYING A MITCHELL GUITAR AT ALL COSTS!

My recent experience with a Mitchell guitar purchased from Guitar Center has been nothing short of a nightmare. The breaking point came when, after the neck of the guitar snapped in two due to a design flaw, I reached out to customer service for assistance. Little did I know that this would be the beginning of a frustrating and unproductive ordeal. I strongly advise potential buyers to steer clear of Mitchell guitars at all costs. The combination of poor craftsmanship, design flaws, and abysmal customer service makes this brand a regrettable choice for anyone looking to embark on their guitar-playing journey. Save yourself the frustration and financial loss by considering alternative, more reputable brands for your musical aspiration Mitchell guitars, a Guitar Center brand, appears to be more focused on ripping off unsuspecting beginners than delivering a quality product. This disappointing experience has not only left me without a functional guitar but has also strained my budget to the point where I cannot afford to purchase a replacement.

    #sweepstakes. The guitar arrived in great shape. It was also set up and ready to play. The finish is flawless. There were no sharp frets or fret sprouts. One tuned, the guitar sounds great, stays in tune and intonation is spot on. This is my second mitchel and I would buy again.

  • Love this guitar!

    This instrument is a fantastic deal. I have played three of these and they are consistently good. I own a Taylor but I still love the tone and playability of the Mitchell. The build quality is pretty high on these and the sound beats many other guitars, even costlier ones. The tuners aren't great but that is to be expected on such a cheap instrument. Anyway, I just bought one for a friend and I am sure he will enjoy it.
