Sayha Guitars
Full-size electric guitars, packed as complete starter kits
The Sayha electric guitar is a 39 inch, six-string ST-style guitar with one humbucker and two single-coils. It ships with a small rechargeable amp, a clip-on tuner, a gig bag and the rest of what you need on day one, so the first evening goes to learning chords, not shopping for cables.

Check PriceWhat's in the Sayha Starter Kit
An electric guitar is silent without an amp, and hard to learn on without a tuner. Both are in the box, along with everything else a first-time player usually ends up buying separately.

About the 5W practice amp
It runs on a built-in rechargeable battery, so charge it before the first session. Clean mode plays the guitar back without grit, which makes muted strings and sloppy chord changes easy to hear. Distortion gives the crunchy rock sound, and the gain and tone knobs set how much drive and how bright. Start clean at low volume, then switch to distortion with the bridge pickup once your changes are steady.
Five watts is plenty for a bedroom but will not keep up with a drummer. When you get there, plug the same guitar into a bigger amp, a pedal or an audio interface. The 1/4 inch jack works with all of them.
Pickups, Controls and Specs
The bridge humbucker is thick and loud, with less hum, so it is the one for distortion, power chords and riffs. The middle and neck single-coils are brighter and clearer, and the neck pickup gives a warm tone for clean melodies and blues. The 5-way switch picks one pickup or a pair, so you can go from a clean chord part to a heavy riff without touching the amp.
| Switch position | Pickups on | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Bridge humbucker | Rock riffs, power chords, distortion, solos |
| 2 | Bridge + middle | Brighter rhythm parts |
| 3 | Middle single-coil | Clean rhythm, even and clear |
| 4 | Middle + neck | Funk, pop, clean chords |
| 5 | Neck single-coil | Blues, warm clean leads, slow melodies |
One volume and two tone knobs shape the sound from the guitar itself. Rolling a tone knob down softens the highs for bluesy solos, and easing the volume back cleans up a distorted sound. The removable tremolo arm dips the pitch when you push it. Go gently at first, since big dives knock the strings out of tune. Single-coils pick up a little hum at high gain, which is normal for that type of pickup.

Who the Sayha Guitar Fits
Adults
The 39 inch size is a standard full-size guitar, so lessons, chord charts and tabs work as written. Nothing needs adapting for a smaller instrument.
It also suits anyone coming back to guitar after years away who wants something to rebuild on before spending more.
Teens
If they can hold a full-size guitar comfortably, this is the same layout their teacher plays. The C-shape neck is a familiar grip that does not feel chunky.
Flipping the amp to distortion and playing a real rock riff in the first week is a big part of what keeps a teenager practicing.
Younger kids
A full-size guitar is big for a small child. Some parents buy it to grow into and teach chord shapes on it, as one of our reviewers does with a 6 and 8 year old.
If reaching the first frets or holding the body is a struggle, a 3/4-size guitar will be easier for now.

Setup and Care
Unpack and look it over
Take the guitar out of the foam and check the body, neck, tuners and output jack for shipping damage. Make sure every string sits in its slot at the nut and on the bridge.
Charge the amp
Charge the mini amp before the first session so a low battery does not get mistaken for a fault. Check the amp powers on while you still have the box handy.
Tune to E A D G B E
Clip the tuner to the headstock and tune from the thickest string to the thinnest: E, A, D, G, B, E. Turn the pegs slowly. A guitar never arrives in tune after shipping, and new strings stretch, so retune every session for the first week.
Plug in with the volume down
Turn the amp volume all the way down, connect the cable from the guitar to the amp, then switch the amp on. Start in clean mode and bring the volume up while you play each string.
Try all five pickup positions
Play the same chord in each switch position and listen. Then roll the tone knobs back and forth. It is the quickest way to learn what the guitar can do.
Fit the strap and check the action
Attach the strap to both strap buttons and set it so the guitar sits at the same height standing as sitting. Fret a few notes up the neck. If the strings feel very high or buzz a lot, see the note below.
If it does not play right
Shipping and changes in humidity move any guitar neck a little. If the strings sit high, buzz on several frets or drift out of tune, a local guitar tech can adjust neck relief, string height and intonation in one visit. It is the cheapest way to make a beginner guitar easier to play.
Before that, check each string has a few neat wraps on its tuning peg and go easy on the whammy bar. Leave the truss rod alone unless you know how it works.
Looking after it
Wipe the strings with a dry cloth after playing and the body with microfiber, no household cleaners. Change strings when they look dull or stop holding tune. The spare set covers the first change, and any standard six-string electric set fits.
Keep it indoors, away from sun, heaters and damp, ideally at 45 to 55 percent humidity. The gig bag is fine for storage but not for hard knocks, and a cheap stand beats leaning it on a chair.
About Sayha
Sayha builds its electric guitar for one moment: the first time someone plugs in. A lot of beginners stall before they start, stuck choosing an amp, a tuner and a cable that all work together. So the Sayha guitar ships with all of it, matched and in one box.
The guitar itself is deliberately conventional. A full-size ST-style body, a maple neck with a comfortable C-shape, a rosewood fingerboard and the HSS pickups found on countless guitars. Nothing you learn on it is specific to it. Chords, scales and technique carry over to whatever you play next, and the guitar keeps working with bigger amps and recording gear as you grow.
Frequently Asked Questions
Sayha is an electric guitar brand built around a simple idea: a new player should be able to open one box and start playing. Its guitar is a full-size 39 inch ST-style electric with a solid basswood body, maple neck, rosewood fingerboard and HSS pickups, sold as a starter kit with a 5W amp and the accessories you need on day one.
For most beginners, yes. You get a standard full-size six-string, so lessons, chord charts and tabs apply as written, plus an amp and tuner in the box so there is nothing else to buy before you start. Like most budget guitars, it plays better after a basic setup, so check string height and tuning stability early on.
Sayha is both the brand and the listed manufacturer of these guitars and kits. They are sold under the Sayha name and aimed at players who want an affordable full-size electric guitar with everything needed to get started.
The standard kit includes the 39 inch six-string guitar, a rechargeable 5W mini amp, a gig bag, a digital clip-on tuner, an adjustable strap, an instrument cable, a spare set of strings and two picks. The amp has clean and distortion modes, so you can play both kinds of sounds right away.
Yes. At 39 inches long overall, it is a full-size electric guitar for teens and adults. That measurement is the total length of the guitar, not the scale length. Younger kids or players with small hands may find a 3/4-size guitar easier to hold for now.
The body is solid basswood with a high-gloss finish. The neck is Canadian maple with a C-shape profile, and the fingerboard is rosewood with hand-polished frets. It is the same basic recipe used on a lot of ST-style guitars, with basswood keeping the weight manageable.
HSS stands for humbucker, single-coil, single-coil, the three pickups from bridge to neck. The bridge humbucker is thicker and stronger, good for distorted rock. The two single-coils are brighter and clearer, good for clean chords and blues. The 5-way switch picks one pickup or a pair, so you get five distinct sounds.
Rock, blues, pop, indie, funk and most other styles played on a standard electric guitar. Use the bridge humbucker with distortion for power chords and riffs, and the single-coils with a clean amp for chord progressions and melodies.
Yes. The starter kit includes a rechargeable 5W mini amp with clean and distortion modes plus gain and tone controls. It is built for practice at home or in a small room. It will not keep up with a drummer or replace a full-size amp at a gig.
Yes. The guitar has a standard 1/4 inch output jack, so it works with any regular guitar amp, effects pedals or an audio interface for recording. When you outgrow the mini amp, you upgrade the amp, not the guitar.
Black, sunburst, blue and red. Every color is the same guitar with the same high-gloss finish and contoured ST-style body, so the choice is purely about looks. Stock varies by color, so check the listing for what is available right now.
The starter kit sits in the budget range. The black HSS kit has been listed at around $95 in the US, with the amp and all the accessories included. The price moves with color, stock and sales, so check the listing for the current price.
Use standard tuning, E A D G B E, from the thickest string to the thinnest. Clip the included tuner to the headstock, pluck one string at a time and turn its peg slowly until the tuner shows the right note. New strings stretch for the first few sessions, so expect to retune often at first.
You can play it as soon as it is tuned, but a setup check is worth it, as with any guitar that has been shipped. String height, neck relief, intonation and the tremolo bridge all affect comfort and tuning. If the strings feel high, buzz a lot or will not stay in tune, a guitar tech can fix that in one visit.
Years, with basic care. It is a solid-body guitar with replaceable strings, so regular practice will not wear it out. Keep it away from heat, damp and big temperature swings, wipe the strings after playing, and check the hardware now and then. Strings and other wear parts get replaced as needed.
