Mitchell

collapse expand iconDescription

The Mitchell DJ120 Junior Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar has a reduced scale and body size that make it a perfect choice for little guitarists-in-training, as well as an incredible travel guitar for musicians of any level. It's crafted with a solid Englemann spruce top with scalloped bracing and mahogany back and sides. It's carved mahogany back provides increased bass response and generates a balanced tone with plenty of projection. The thinner finish allows the body to resonate more freely.

The Mitchell DJ120's dovetail neck joint gives the guitar strength and sustain. The rosewood bridge and fretboard bring out clarity in the tone, and the C-shape neck provides comfort for your fretting hand. The real abalone rosette and body/neck binding make the DJ120 guitar look as great as it sounds.

Before delivery to dealers, all Mitchell guitars receive a complete state-side setup and quality control inspection to ensure exceptional playability.

Includes gig bag.

Sweet sound and impeckable construction

I came across this at my local Guitar Center when looking for a guitar for my grandson. I was very impressed with the construction, appearance, playability and tone of the instrument. I had always thought of Mitchell as cheap garbage guitars, but this guitar easily matched any 3/4 size below a Taylor or Martin. Sustain and volume were very impressive for such a small guitar. Ultimately I went with a Fender MA-1 because I think that at eleven, its longer 23.3" scale will fit him longer. But based on appearance and performance, had the scale been the same I would have bought the Mitchell over the Fender or the Yamaha. Really changed my opinion of Mitchell guitars.

Good sound from a little body, tuners need replaced

This is a fun little guitar with a great sound. My complaint lies in the timing machines which I had to replace to get it to stay in tune. That said, I still think it's worth the money because of the quality of the rest of the materials (solid top, Nubone nut/saddle, etc).

    I avoided Mitchells for a long time. My background is largely ukes, and their inhouse ukes have a cheap feel to them that I found offputting. However, When I picked up a Mitchell 3/4 DJ120, my tune changed, literally! The tone on this keeps pace with name brand guitars, and its voice does not suffer from its diminutive size. I love everything about this wonderful guitar!

    I gave this little guitar a try, tuned it up and was really surprised, with how well it played. I played a folk classic rock song, and it performed as well as a full-size guitar. PERFECT FIRST GUITAR for a child. I FULLY RECOMMEND THIS GUITAR

    I bought a guitar from Guitar Center and I want to learn to play and my 7 year old grandson expressed an interest in learning to play also. The helpful man at Guitar Center suggested a smaller guitar for him so I bought this one. It seems like a good guitar for the money and he really likes it. We are having our first lesson this week at the local Guitar Center. I think this will be fun to learn together and will encourage us to practice together. I think it will be good bonding time,

    How do you connect the strap to the headstock without a string? The strap has a slot for a button at each end, not sure how to connect to the headstock the way it came.

    So, I bought this guitar for my son. It actually sounds pretty good. It came with a strap bit it only has one spot for strap to connect to. What am I missing here?
