The Lindo Black Fire – Designed in the U.K by Lindo Guitars
Tonewoods and Features
The main body is basswood, which provides a lovely warm tone and the soundboard is spruce, which adds bright and punchy highs. This great combination of woods gives this guitar a deep, rich tone with full detail in individual notes as well as in the greater breadth of chord voices.
Through Fire and Flames
The unique headstock not only carries the classic Lindo metallic logo but also has a stylish, abstract fire design. To compliment the headstock, the black walnut fretboard has a beautiful and striking tribal fire custom inlay, making this a real eye catching guitar.
The die-cast, smooth action chrome-plated machine heads ensure the guitar holds a perfect tune every time. The bone nut, catalpa neck and black walnut fretboard give this model great warmth, clarity and resonance.
Playability
The action on the Lindo Black Fire is really light and low so gives the guitarist the feeling of ease when playing. This is helped by the neck profile being extremely user-friendly for both strumming accompaniment and serious fingerstyle players. The Lindo Black Fire features a cutaway in the body, which allows for access further up the neck. It is also fitted with a compensated saddle, which provides accurate intonation across the fingerboard.
You are Unique
The Lindo Black Fire plays and sounds like any great acoustic guitar but what sets it apart is the benefit of a pre-amp with its own integrated chromatic tuner and added connectivity via a standard jack plug and XLR socket. The XLR, with enhanced signal, is a great add-on which enables you to plug directly into external PA equipment or a recording/mixing desk whilst also being connected to your guitar amplifier. Playing live, recording at home or in a professional studio the Black Fire will let you capture that warm acoustic sound minus the dreaded unwanted ‘boominess’.
To help create your own unique sound, the integrated pre-amp includes bass, middle, treble, presence controls and a master volume dial. At the press of a button, the backlit LCD display comes to life and shows off the built –in chromatic/auto tuner with battery indicator. This display ensures great visibility when tuning and the wireless operation ensures you are free from any lead tangles from an external tuner (and it will minimize interference by unwanted surrounding noise). This really is a great choice of guitar for all situations.

For the money, this is an amazing little package, after I bought a capo and guitar strap button for the next, this is a one bag acoustic gig package. It sounds great, works perfectly out of the box and for the money im incredibly proud of it.
Will be using this alot and i would advise anyone to get this deal. A friend of mine is already looking at a model for himself.

I’ve held off reviewing until now. When I first received the guitar I changed the strings straight away as it sounded fairly dull. Changed to D’addario and wasn’t too impressed. I’ve since changed the strings to Martin SP long life phosphor strings and my god the sound from the guitar is incredible now. I highly recommend this guitar if you’re starting out or like me have just started to play again and didn’t want to spend silly money just yet. Would definitely by from Lindo again. Guitar sounds great through the amp as well…though the dog doesn’t like it. Definitely 5 out of 5.

Great Product

This guitar is fantastic. I didn’t wanted to write a comment before using it for a while and now I can highly recommend this guitar not only for experienced ones but also for the newbies. The sound and finish are great and the tuning tool works perfectly. The only downside is the guitar bag, but that’s for free so I’m happy to buy a new one which can better protect this precious guitar.
Colin Bradley
What a great guitar. Sounds great as an acoustic guitar and the preamp gives a great sound even through my small practice speaker.
It plays well and the set up system makes it easy to customise it to suit me.
Looks great as well.

I am now the proud owner of two Lindo electro accoustic Guitars. One is stored in UK and the other in France where I live. As an entertainer on Cruise ships my guitars have to travel all around the world, sometimes getting lost by airlines but turning up in the end. They are fantastic guitars regardless of price ( which is exceptional for the quality). They also look good on stage, and sound great through a show theatre sound system.
If you are unsure about buying one, rest assured you will be amazed by the quality.
Mr M.
Beautiful guitar. Plays wonderfully and the digital tuning is fantastic!
Amazon Customer
The guitar came in a good condition. There was a slight fret buzz when I strum hard on the first string so I contacted Lindo’s customer service and they were really efficient and helpful. The guitar sounds good, and I like it a lot!
Richard Osborn
We bought this for our son and the acoustic sound is lovely and warm. Plugging it into an iPad via an iRig allows him to add a bit of richness via the various amps and pedals available in GarageBand. All-in-all, it’s a wonderful acoustic guitar with the added advantage of having the ability to amplifying it.
But by far the best bit (for him) is the look of the guitar. It’s very dark blue fading to black around the edges. It looks almost black in low light but once light (especially sunlight) hits the body it almost glows iridescently! The added attention to detail in the small shark motifs on the fret board are superb and really make this an instrument to be proud of.
Thanks Lindo!

I’m so pleased with this guitar. Out of the box tuned in and played with it. The action is good and it looks and feels very nice. The tone is very good too. Well done Lindo! I will be at some point ordering an electric guitar from you soon.
Regards,

This is the first guitar that I have bought for my daughter and I was really impressed with the quality. The guitar is exactly what I expected;the black fire design is beautiful and it sounds amazing. I bought this after being recommended by a friend and I wasn’t disappointed. She loves it!
Thomas San Juan
I bought this as a first guitar and am very happy with it! It would have been a nice touch to have included a guitar strap, however despite this I cannot fault it.
Awesome
A great sounding guitar which has motivated me to play even more than I ever have done. A lovely tone and a pleasure to play. You cannot go wrong for the price you are paying. Very happy indeed.
A Vale
Guitar arrived quickly and very pleased with the product. Solid build and excellent sound quality. Tuning was easy with the built in tuner and sounds amazing when plugged into the amp. Came with 2 scratch covers, red and black. Overall very happy with this guitar and looks good too with a nice trim. Go on and treat yourself.
C. MacDonald
This is one neat instrument.I am middle level on the guitar so consider that I know what makes a good instrument. Whether you want to just strum or pick I would recommend it. I found the action on mine a bit high at the start so I had it professionally set up which cost me money, but I knew the result would give me a good guitar and I am not disappointed. New players should bear this in mind if you find the strings too high.
Angel Shtarbanov
I was waiting for some time before posting a review. I like this guitar and I play on it quite a lot. It sounds great, I have replaced the original strings with flatwounds after the first month, I just love flatwound strings. The mechanics that hold the strings are good and it is easy to change the strings. The built in tuner is really good, even if you just use it as acoustic, you can tune very accurately with it in seconds. It does look great. My only issue with it is that I find the width of the neck between the first to second fret too narrow for my fingers, which I wouldn’t say are big, so this might be a problem for some people. Delivery was quick, guitar nicely packed, very happy with this purchase.
Amazon Customer
Excellent device & fast delivery. Great guitar, very happy indeed! Thank you!
David S.
A great sounding guitar at a very reasonable price. Perfect for beginners and advanced learners and the built in tuner and eq. is a nice little feature too.
Would highly recommend to any individual looking for a new guitar.

This was a Christmas gift for me from my wife. It is only the second guitar I have ever owned and I am most impressed with the quality of the instrument. It is beautifully finished and sounds great. I would have thought it was worth more than the price paid. It has a highly polished finished with contrasting edges. The integrated digital tuner is a bonus as are the choice of 2 self adhesive finger plates and the carry case. also comes with the required cable to plug into an amp and a battery for the digital tuner. The only thing missing is a plectrum which is a mere bagatelle as they say. Well done Lindo on a fine product at an extremely good price point. If I ever master the instrument I will definitely be visiting your site for an upgrade.
Eugenia Toki
Very fast delivery. Perfect condition, with no manufacturer problems. Cords in perfect condition. A guitar with nice natural sound, smooth play that makes a value for money purchase!
Don Hughes
I ordered this as a Christmas gift to myself. I wanted an electric acoustic which was smaller than my Yamaha and the built in tuner was indeed a bonus. I have been playing for 10 years now and must say I am totally impressed with the sound from this stylish instrument. Definitely recommended.
Dave D
The Lindo Black Fire arrived in three days of placing my order, I was a little apprehensive about buying this guitar as it was inexpensive and as a musician of more than 40 years but not played an acoustic for some 30 years felt it may not come up to scratch, quite the opposite, it’s is beautiful and very well made, had to reduce the bridge hight by 2mm and fit with Elixir strings 10-47 gauge, this guitar sounds and plays fantastic, it stands very well against others costing over £1000, some friends in well known bands were very impressed and mentioned they may well buy one, I highly recommend Lindo Guitar’s even to professional players, with small tweaking they are superb, I love my Lindo Black fire, and will be playing it in public several times every week, their customer service is also second to non, I emailed a few questions and they called me within 30 minutes and were fantastic with they advice and offered to do my setup for in Bristol, Lindo you are the best, thank you Dave.

From an inexperienced guitar-player’s perspective, I’m very pleased with my purchase. Guitar looks great and feels comfortable to hold.
So far, I’ve registered on the Lindo website, downloaded their catalogue and a Lindo guitar user manual – which has been invaluable in helping me to perfectly prepare the guitar strings for tuning perfection – thanks to the user-friendly, ‘on-board’ tuner. I will now practice, practice, practice!… and then buy a Lindo amplifier in the near future!
Pete
Arrived without problems. Looks great, everything I expected it to be. Only reason it didn’t get 5 stars is that the strings that came with it were all very old. As a beginner like myself, it took me a while to realise that the problem wasn’t with my playing but very old strings (Open strings were in tune, but fretted were all off. After restring everything was fine.
Hellsbells
Fantastic guitar! Buy it…go on!
Alison Jeffs (Myers)
Great value, great sound, and brilliant service! One very happy husband!
Amar
It’s my first guitar…. I believe that I have made the right choice…. The package was received on time… No problems…. Straight on my way to learn to play guitar… I am finally on the path to learn a musical instrument and of course it’s a great feeling.
Tracy Berry
Great guitar. Sound quality is perfect. Would definitely buy more Lindo guitars.
Kate baxter
Bought for my son. He’s very pleased. Still a beginner but has a good ear and pretty fussy! Looks great. Has a lovely tone. If you have any questions, ask and I will pass on to my son.
Ruth M.
I bought this guitar for my sons birthday, and he is delighted with it. It arrived really quickly and is great value. It has a beautiful mellow sound, and is a very nice looking guitar. I looked at a lot of different makes and styles, but am so glad I chose this one, it is lovely quality, and I highly recommend it for anyone…..lovely people to deal with. Thank you Lindo.
Charlie Robinson
Purchased this guitar with the money i received from my birthday, and ive got say, money well spent! Recieved it on deadline, un-packed and easily tuned, using the on board tuner, in less than ten minutes. I had to stop just to marvel at the sheer beauty of it first tough, the shark tooth bridge and the infinity symbol in the 12th fret just tie this matte black masterpiece together. On first play it was like listening to a song of the sirens, absolute quality when plugged in or not. All of the accessories came as planned with the guitar, and they are all fantastic. Overall, amazing quality, from a trustworthy company.
Anne Woods
Great.
Peter Cleary
This is an excellent guitar. It looks very stylish and sounds good acoustically and plugged-in. Through my Behringer amp the sound feels very rounded and whole. I very much like the slim neck , which makes it a lot easier for me play natural chords and especially barre chords (as a reference I would classify my hand size as falling between medium and large). I’ve never had a guitar with an integral tuning device but this is very handy . Delivery was quick ; I received it 2 days after placing the order. Thanks.
Nicki
Bought as present for partner, for the price it is a very good value for money guitar, especially with built in tuner and pre amp. Great action for a beginner and easy to tune, recommend this guitar for someone wishing to get to grips with playing.
Bob & Ruth
Guitar arrived within 24 hours and is in perfect condition – exactly what I wanted and exactly as described. Product and service excellent.
Brian Bosher
I bought this guitar a couple of weeks ago and was very impressed with the quick delivery ( 2 days ). the guitar itself is impressive to look at and is nice to play with the action although not to low but not high either.The built in tuner is great and easy to use so to is the 4 band EQ as well as the volume control, also comes with 2 pick-guards and a soft carry case. I really think that at around the £157 mark this guitar is excellent value for money and worth giving it a try.
KAREN WINSTANLEY
Bought a Lindo guitar for my son last Christmas….was so impressed by the quality and sound that I decided to get the Black Fire guitar for myself…It is a beautiful guitar.Thank you.
agnieszka kowalska
Lovely sound, design & a good feeling @ reasonable price… This baby is awesome !
kells
Really nice guitar, looks great and sounds and feels great!
Philip Stonelake
Very pleasantly surprised by the quality of this guitar. my son wanted it and I was nervous that the build would be poor. It plays very well, the neck has a great profile and the inlay work is very good. the tone is great and it plays well, the electrics are fairly standard but the addition of an XLR socket is another bonus.
Judith JAck
We purchased this Lindo guitar for my 12 year old daughter’s Christmas present. It is a great sounding guitar and is an improvement on her previous Westfield guitar which was around £100. We have paired it with a Laney AH80 Amp and my other daughter has a violin with a band pick up. Some duet’s tonight from them.
Service was very good from Laney and the guitar arrived on time as promised. Andrew
Mr. A. Prince
I have now had my guitar for 3months andI am totally pleased with my LDG-BF Lindo guitar. An excellent product from an excellent company.
It’s a beauty.
George Moore
Had this guitar over a year now, still working perfectly! This guitar is just beautiful, the inlays are so unique! The sound that the guitar emits is brilliant of for the price tag, the tuner and EQ settings are perfect and the overall feel of the guitar is amazing! I would defiantly recommend this guitar!
Daveyboy
I received this product a couple of weeks ago and was impressed at how quickly arrived (2 days!). I have a Yamaha acoustic and wanted something I could play for open mic nights.
I was however concerned that at the price I was paying this wouldn’t be much cop. I was clearly wrong, the guitar has an excellent deep rich sound to it and didn’t at all sound tinny as expected. The addition of a host features including built in tuner and mixing deck connections make this a guitar which I think will be with me for some time.
The look of this guitar certainly makes a statement with its gloss black colour and fretboard etching. The only down side I have found with this guitar is it being gloss black it picks up every bit of dust and finger print.
I am very happy with this product and found you can get quality for low price.
Daveyboy
This guitar has great tone and the features are spot on – and it is a good looking instrument as well. Very happy with my purchase and would recommend it to others as good value.
amazon_rainforest39
Great looking guitar,and plus with the electric side of it, it helps to boost the volume which you cant do very well with just a standard acoustic! It’s very slim and a great size for just about anyone… But the only downside is the built-in tuner isn’t exceptional, but other than that a great purchase!
Good Job Lindo!
Natra
Love this guitar, lovely finish, good tone, all round excellent value for money, as good as or better than many higher priced guitars.
David G.
I rated this product 4 stars because I liked the design with the multicoloured shell. It plays really well and the sound is very good and I hope it will be playing it a long time.
The service provided by LIndo was good too – when the guitar first arrived it had been damaged in transit – James at Lindo quickly arranged for it to be returned and replaced with another which arrived in perfect condition.
Mr J A Laben
Great guitar, equal to guitars at double the price, sound and tone first class, built in tuner great bonus feature.
L D Hawker
I purchased this guitar for my son who is at Uni studying Audio recording technology- it is just right for him without spending mega money. The sound quality is good and after listening to him play much more expensive guitars in local shops it is equal if not better than some that are twice the price and more.
The digital tune is easy to use (had a go myself),and with the facility the connect to a recording unit it is just perfect for him.
Would recommend this instrument to anyone.
Mervyn Beasley
Mervyn. I am a begginer but have found this guitar so easy to handle great sound and keeps tune. I would advise anyone looking for good guitar for the money to get one.
Me7
I was looking for a reasonable quality acoustic Guitar for my daughter, who just developed an interest to learn and obviously is a beginner. My search narrowed down to this product which looked great aesthetically and included the features I was looking for. The delivery arrived very quickly, in good shape and in appropriate package. My daughter is playing it for last few days and is extremely happy with it. I will recommend it to anyone.
george buxton
Such a lovely guitar, easy to tune considering im very new at playing.

Excellent Guitar for the price. Arrived very quickly and boxed well. It took a minute or less to tune with the on board runner. Plays and sound good with or without amp.
Ajay
My daughter loves this guitar arrived in good time, great quality, perfect with built in tuner, great sound, comes with case but no shoulder strap
Barbara Artland
I bought this for my son’s 11th birthday and he is VERY happy with it. the guitar looks great and it has a good sound. his guitar teacher was impressed too. the price was pretty ok as well. the initial tuning was a bit tricky, but once it’s in tune the built-in tuner works fine too.
Jamie Maitland
She’s a beautiful guitar, Got mine today and been playing it all morning.
I really like how comfortable she sits on the knee and also stood up while playing, she sounds great all the way up and down the neck. Great tone and very enjoyable to listen to her been played as well as playing her.
She retains perfect tuning when using a capo ( I find some guitars need a little bit of tuning after a capo use ).
I’ve been playing guitar for years and I’ve had plenty of time playing a variety of guitars both acoustic and electric.
She is by far the best and most enjoyable acoustic guitar I’ve every used.
julie
I love this guitar! It is excellent value for money. Looks good, sounds good. I would recommend it to anyone.
M. D. Jacobs
I bought this guitar the other day as my old one was getting a bit worn out, I must say that it is an absolutely fantastic guitar, the noise that comes out of it is wonderful, the built in tuner is fantastic and works a charm. Not to mention that it is beautiful to look at 🙂
Neil
Just received mine today and I am more than happy with the great looks, quality of build and the sound. Brilliant service from the seller too, received in under 48 hours. Well done Lindo!
Han Wu
I bought this guitar thinking for the price I didn’t expect how good it would be, but I was wrong this guitar is truly good!! I was shocked at how good it sounds and delivery service was swift. I would more than happily buy another Lindo Guitar.
Han Wu
Great Service. I ordered this guitar less than a week before Christmas and it arrived within two days. The guitar was a present for my Son and he is delighted with it.
Bernadette Pilliner
Lovely guitar with a good sound, handsome gloss finish. My son is delighted with its quality and has not stopped playing it since Christmas, much better than his last one.

Izabela
The guitar has been bought for my son, and he loves it; he plays the guitar each day and never gets bored of the way the guitar looks. It’s beautiful, artistic and sounds great! I would recommend this to any guitar player.
Amazon Customer
I’m not the guitar player my 11 yr old is and he wanted a good acoustic day to day guitar, so he didn’t have to get his electric one out all the time.
So far its an excellent piece of kit however I will give a further update when he final uses it on the 25th Dec.
Lina Heald
I have bought this guitar for my birthday. It sounds great and looks great, my musical friends are very impressed!!

Love this guitar, used it a few times now on open mic nights etc. Would definitely recommend. The design is beautiful.

I bought this guitar for my sons birthday. and he has been very pleased with it ever since. Not a bad price either. Overall, very nice guitar. great sounding and very light.
Cathy H
Delivery was prompt . Looks nice and sounds great. Lightweight so easy to carry around. The auto tuner is a great feature. I would recommend this to other learners. This was a great choice for my 1st acoustic guitar.
Billy
This Lindo guitar not only sounds great but looks great too. The tone from the acoustic is amazing and the built in tuner and the pre-amp are great added extras. I’ve already recommended it to friends and family.
MRS J A LARVAN
A brought this Guitar for my Son’s 16th Birthday & he loves it 🙂
A brilliant quality item & worth every penny!
Mike
I am ecstatic with this product, the LED backlit tuner and pre-amp is a fantastic bonus, but it’s not just about the gimmicks. This is a seriously good product. A rich warm sound and looks you’d expect from a guitar three times greater in price. So far, there is nothing I dislike… I’m sure beginners and experienced guitarists alike will appreciate it. Superb value, highly recommended.
L. Wincester
Mum bought this guitar as a present for good gcse results, and it is beautiful. great quality and sound for the price, and you can set it to what tone suits your fancy. sound amazing when plugged in, i highly recommend. i love it so much.
UTVN
Given as birthday present from my better half, turned out to be second best present that day.
Looks and sounds great, mellow tone just right for me and with the tuner on board, I am always in tune (not necessarily playing the proper notes, of course) and being electro-acoustic, the 4 band EQ giving you control over the sound with the added benefit of connecting to an amp.
Excellent finish, look and sound, congrats Lindo.
adam nichols
I purchased the guitar and it arrived within 2 days ( quicker than I expected ), as a beginner I wanted an instrument that was easy to play but offered a good tone and I can say that I am 100% happy with the purchases. On showing the guitar to my teacher he was also very impressed by the tone both connected to an amp and not and for the price he belies this was an excellent buy. I would definitely recommend a Lindo Guitar to beginners or established players both.
Kaz
Bought this guitar for my daughter for her birthday and she loves it. It is her second guitar and she has been teaching herself to play for about a year, it sounds so much better than her old one and is a great looking guitar and has a lovely sound. Delivery was very quick and well packaged, would definitely recommend.
Amazon Customer
My Mum and Dad bought this guitar as my 13 birthday present and it’s absolutely fantastic. It does everything I want it to do, it looks really cool and all my friends are jealous. It’s really easy to use the amp, sounds great and my Mum is really pleased I can use it with head phones 🙂 Thank You from Sam Paton

Recently got this guitar, its has a really lovely tone to the sound and is easy to tune. Sounds great with or with out a amp, and the pre-amp is really simple and effective. Its great for playing live and I’ve used it for some recording. And its a pretty damn good price for what it is 🙂

SUPER FAST DELIVERY, and I mean fast. Ordered on a Wednesday, arrived on Friday.
Sleek, smooth and a great sound.
A reasonable light weight guitar, impressive.
Tuning system is pretty good, nice accuracy. Comes with a battery so you don’t have to go searching through your drawers for one.
Comes with two of those things you could stick on the guitar (the name of it has failed me) comes in black and red.
Amp cord that comes with it is fairly long, not long enough to do a back flip but hey ho.
The strings you get at first are impressively good. (usually they aren’t too good)
Beautiful sound once you tune it. Really crisp and I’m yet to plug it into an amp but from what I’ve heard from what it can do, can’t wait.
