In all likelihood a pricing error, as the seller (Precision Audio) has it listed on their site at $129 + delivery, as does Kogan. Bought one on the off chance it’s not. Stay safe, and enjoy :)

This 28” acoustic-electric travel guitar is the perfect choice for kids. Featuring 6 nylon strings, and fitted with a built-in pick-up and on-board preamp - simply plug in a lead to connect to an amplifier or soundboard without the need for microphones. Compact and easy to carry.

Length: 28”
Body Shape: Classical
Body Material: Spruce top, plastic back & sides
Head Type: Slotted
Machine Heads: Pearloid
Strings: Nylon
Preamp: LCD display, volume control, 3 channel tuning, power button.
Power: 9V battery with clip release battery box
Colour: Natural

      True OzBargain spirit. Buy first, wonder what it is exactly you bought later.

      Don't bother with books. Check out chords, then how to read tabs. From there, you'll have all the basics to get started on whatever you like.

      Edit: oh and how to tune! That's super important. You can get a tuning app on your phone.

    Pricing error on their ukelele too. I reckon $6 was supposed to be the price of their cables.

    21" Soprano Ukulele Nylon String US60S

    21" Soprano Ukulele Tropical Design Nylon String S268 - Pink

    21" Soprano Ukulele Tropical Design Nylon String S268 - Tropical $9

      I think you're right. If you look at directory path, it's audio accessories/audio cables

  • tdw on 15/02/2021 - 04:30

    not sure where i'm going to put it if it arrives but bought one anyway lol

    Isn't 28 inches a really small size. Would have thought normal size would be around 10 inches bigger (That's what she said)

      • ramboando on 15/02/2021 - 05:00

        Party never started. Catch doesn't give rewards for pricing errors, only apologies…

        Unless you managed to score yourself a $6 ukulele, in which case the party is just about to begin.

      Back to $6 again, just placed an order, will see what happens I guess

      • Ruddiga on 15/02/2021 - 05:16

        Nice, just snagged one, not expecting much but worth a shot.

    • MeisterG on 15/02/2021 - 05:17

      just tried, and bought still showing $6 for me…there an option to select the $129 one under more buying options though

      I didn't see where you could choose 'pick up' in the checkout process? How does it sound anyway?

      • Muzeeb on 15/02/2021 - 10:25

        Maybe it was a pun…

        Picked up a guitar

      • wrapsnacker on 15/02/2021 - 11:59

        Sorry bad wording on my part. I meant I ordered one from Catch. No matter it was cancelled anyway :(

    how come not free shipping for the trial of club catch?
    any chance of free shipping ?
    or how to get free shipping please?

  • MatrixM on 15/02/2021 - 05:25

    crap was buying it and forgot to put delivery details and now its repriced at $129

  • zztrader on 15/02/2021 - 05:28

    Still on $6.00 but postage is $15 making it a total of $21au

    I've already got a stack of guitars both acoustic and electric so this is impulsive though it does have a tuner and pickup built in with strings so would make a great beginner Junior guitar for some.

  • AussieDaddy on 15/02/2021 - 05:33

    O damn! I went up to the last window (when PayPal takes you back to Catch) and thought it was finalized. Have visited other sites and have just decided to revisit it after I've read the last comments. Haven't actually finalized it and now it's back to full price. FML! lol

  • Michaelangelo on 15/02/2021 - 05:47

    Missed out on the Guitar. So I bought a Ukulele for $6 instead. Should be good for a gift.

  • Yaren24 on 15/02/2021 - 06:48

    Hi TA, can you post more guitar deals, what a bargain to be missed thanks

    • franco cozzo on 15/02/2021 - 06:56

      its a pricing error that wont be honoured…and you want more guitar 'deals' like this?

      • Logical on 15/02/2021 - 10:07

        Yaren said 'a bargain to be missed'…. so yeah, more honourable deals such as this please

  • [Deactivated] on 15/02/2021 - 07:14

    That is why Catch is less "worthy" than other retailers like HN, GG, JB….I picked up some good quality wireless earbuds that was pricing error at $5 online from $80, but HN honored the price, ordered 5, HN honored all 5. Bargain!

  • pdtmathieson on 15/02/2021 - 07:37

    Bought the ukulele but expect it to not be honoured. I've just had my kids running around the house all weekend with my good ukulele so will be nice to throw something else at them if it arrives…

    I got a cancellation email already

    It didn’t actually say pricing error, it said as no longer available, so maybe those that got in earlier still have a chance

    I purchased within minutes of Tight Arse posting. I really must get to sleep before 4.00am…………….
